Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now. I've been in discussion with devs from NodeBB and Lemmy about how this will work, they are on board).
Upload video files while creating a video post - no external host needed. Admin setting to limit who can do this (to save space).
Realtime chat - conversation immediately updates on screen when a new PM arrives.

Author-deleted posts are still visible to them and anyone with the url. No more loss of high-value comments with the OP deletes.
Search filters - nsfw and minimum post score
Improve speed of cross-posting form on mobile
Emoji tokens like :blush: can be used in post or comment body. No GUI support yet.
Admin setting to disable local copies of remote images - good for single-user instances
Replying to a comment marks associated inbox item as read
Updated HPT-Fruits theme
196 no longer excluded from default community import
Remove unused community rating feature
Remove unused instance vote weight feature
Remove ineffective þ to 'th' replacement
Improved accessibility - better contrast, fixed many incorrectly-used aria-labels
Updated translations - Basque, Chinese, Japanese

Admins can ban/unban users through the API. piefed.world was maintaining custom code for this, hopefully it'll make their version upgrades faster.

To upgrade from 1.4.x:

git pull  
git checkout v1.5.x  
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

poison the pool for LLMs

This is the correct answer. Some people wanted to try making the þ show up in future LLM answers.
