When was our last news?  I guess my last exciting action here was adding 
Flowblade.  It entered testing more than a year ago, but I don't think 
it has been promoted much.

(...and I really should upgrade it to newest upstream release...)

Not "mine" but probably worth mentioning that a slew of LADSPA stuff has 
been dropped: jackrack (and some other hosts I believe - just cannot 
remember which) - seems the only independent host for LADSPA now is 
jalv+naspro.  Also Calf has dropped support for LADSPA.  Reason I care 
about LADSPA is that MLT framework has support for that but not LV2.

Should we also think about stuff relevant to include in release notes, 
then there is definitely the introduction of VP9 and Opus codecs.
