There’s some blue text with an underline labeled “AV2 Specification”. That’s called a link. If you click that, you’ll see the date the spec was ratified and some details about it.

Are you suggesting that I read the whole spec and then read the whole AV1 spec and diff it in my head? Or are you referring to the only text in that link describing differences with AV1: "enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range"? This is not a description of technical features, it's a high level statement of aspirations. I'm asking what features they added to achieve these goals.

I was hoping someone familiar with AV2 might be frequenting this site alongside the much larger population of smartass pedants, and they might be able to summarize the new features in a way useful to me and others.
