Oy, so Blender 4.3 is out. My small contribution was extremely non-visual, but it got a nice "faster everything" section in the release overview page. For visuals and nice images of what everyone else did, see this: https://www.blender.org/download/releases/4-3/

Hmm it's been exactly a year of working on #blender video sequencer. Maybe I should write a blog blabber post.
