Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Hey there folks, this is just a quick suggestion.

On https://mpv.io/ I did not see a news section.

Could one perhaps be added? The idea would be to give people some overview
what changed over the years. This can be updated very slowly, say, 2x per year
or so? Does not need to contain that much; could even be a link to the official
changelogs, but I'd actually prefer a more human-written "what has been new
in the last 1 year" or what has changed. I do read the issue tracker every now
and then but I think I also miss many changes and I am not sure what is new;
mpv works well here but I don't really know what is all different. So a news
subsection or something like that, could be useful for not only me but also
other users who only semi-regularly follow mpv. Thank you for reading this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the mpv.io homepage and the official changelogs to determine how a news section could fit the existing site. Before implementation, define the section's content scope, update process, and presentation; done means an agreed design and a maintainable way to publish periodic summaries.
