I think there are some additional decoding speed improvements that are worth mentioning, for instance h.264 decoding is about 20-25% faster on x86. Would someone mind verifying if the improvement is similar on other popular architectures? Additionally, there have been quite a few enhancements to libavcodec's encoding. Michael Niedermayer and Corey Hickey spent quite some time looking over tweaks to ratecontrol, scene change detection, and b-frame placement. Perhaps Corey could render his opinion on whether or not these changes belong in the ChangeLog?

Yes, if you like. Such as: * numerous moderate improvements to MPEG-4 encoding quality Michael and Loren have done interesting stuff to Snow, as well (in particular all the OBMC stuff), but I haven't had a chance to test it. -Corey
