[Cin] News and enhancements with CinGG/FFmpeg 6.1 ?

[Terje J. Hanssen]

I am wondering if the news and enhancements of importance to 
CinGG/FFmpeg 6.1 users may  be outlined, including what is ready now and 
expected upcoming next?

Something listed last month by Andrew in "ffmpeg 6.1 is out!" and by 
Phyllis in "GIT... CinGG  changes >.FFmpeg 6.1 upgrade from 5.1. ."
as the News November 10th, 2023, FFmpeg 6.1 "Heaviside"

For  example while the AV1 codec was mentioned available for CinGG 
already in February News 2019

AV1 looks to be an even more important improvement with FFmpeg 6.0 and 
6.1, according to some selected articles below:
