This release is API and ABI backward compatible with 7.0

"Support has been added for a ... decoder" sounds strange, should be either
"Support has been added for ...  decoding"
or
"Our decoder now supports ..."

"able to be decoded" sounds weird to me as well, I'd say "MV-HEVC
decoding is now supported".

This finally allows fully Vulkan-based decode-filter-encode pipelines.
(it's not really a loop)

In addition to the above?
