Most important for some of us

Hardware video decoding is now enabled for Intel GPUs on Linux.

Yey! Test it by starting intel_gpu_top and than playing video in firefox, if row "Video" goes over 0.0% it is working!

intel-gpu-top: Intel Coffeelake (Gen9) @ /dev/dri/card0 -  921/ 925 MHz;  38% RC6
    1.78/10.41 W;      813 irqs/s

      IMC reads:     3883 MiB/s
     IMC writes:     1632 MiB/s

Of course, you need second monitor, it goes down to 0 if video is not visible, since Firefox is not rendering it.
