But why not version 4.5?

Most likely they've broken quite a lot of APIs and raised major .so versions.

The download page hasn't been updated yet.

Get it here.

What about pipewire integration to capture a Wayland desktop (similar to what x11grab does)?

Nothing, patches are welcome.

"libplacebo filter"

Thats pretty cool. Libplacebo is MPV's vulkan scaling/debanding/tonemapping filters.

This always seemed weird to me... is the sequence not just an AV1 video?

yup. an image is a single frame, and a sequence is multiple frames. the issue is you need the avis brand, which is easy enough to add, but it's a whole lot nicer to do

ffmpeg -i gerbal.webm gerbal.avif

then it is to

ffmpeg -i gerbal.webm -c:v libaomav1 gerbal.mp4 && mv gerbal.mp4 gerbal.avif && mp4box -ab avis gerbal.avif
