Blender 4.0 is still in development, in the alpha stage, but some cool new render enhancements have been made to Cycles which are now available for testing. Since this is in the alpha stage, we should be aware that changes and refinements to them may still occur.
#1. Updates to Path Guiding
#2. Addition of Energy Conservation in materials. This is VERY important for realism in renderings and is mandatory in a modern ray tracing render engine.
#3. Area Light UVs.
