Changelog: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/Changelog

Seems like the big feature is Vulkan support?

Excellent summary of changes here: https://9to5linux.com/ffmpeg-4-3-released-with-vulkan-suppor...

TIL there’s a 9to5Linux. Is it new/affiliated with the other 9to5 properties?

Looking at their respective About pages they seem unrelated:

Other pretty big ones looks like AV1 encoding (4.2 had decoding) and hardware acceleration for VP9.

Also AV1 via librav1e. Is this the first time a Rust library has been compiled into FFmpeg?
