Anybody know what the OpenCL part does?
Encoding, decoding, etc.

Sure there was an actual release and not just a tag to prepare for release?
The ffmpeg website says nothing so far about a 2.0 release?

Nothing of both. I think they use the lookahead Kernels for h264.

Some video filters can use OpenCL i.e. deshake.
