JPEG XL, AVIF, and WebP2!
I play with videography as well as photography. I'm a fan of super high range HDR10 video encoding format in video, but about pictures, this year is the age of new image formats, there are some excellent encoding formats such as: JPEG XL, AVIF, WebP2.
Not only the encoding advantage, but also can achieve HDR display in terms of image, HDR output, I need this function, please add them in the subsequent version of captureone, thanks.
HDR will change everything in the viewing experience. (instead of the pseudo HDR merged image under SDR range)
I have IQ4 and I have Capture ONE, but I was frustrated when I found out that Capture ONE can't output real HDR10 image format. Although I have a monitor that supports HDR 1000, I can apparently only watch HDR video at the moment and can't find any way to create HDR images.
Take a look at Adobe photoshop, the latest version of ACR 15 has added HDR functionality to output JPEG XL image files that support 24bit or 32bit!
Phoseone being the most advanced camera in the world and captureone being one of the best image processing software in the world, please don't stop there, I need these features.
Here are some HDR and SDR image file comparison reference links

And I hope windows can get support sooner, because I am not a mac user.
I hope Capture one development team will consider this issue, thanks.

I fully support adding next gen delivery formats to C1. However a note on OP's post: I believed WebP2 has been abandoned. Also, for images/photography I don't find AVIF very appealing although support for that would of course be positive.
JPEG XL is the format I'm really looking forward to, as it is superior to its competition and has the best chance of becoming the new standard. I'm sure the folks at C1 are aware of it and its benefits so I won't go into them here. Personally I think I won't upgrade to a newer version of C1 until JPEG XL export (and of course editing, though I work mostly in RAW) is implemented. Yes, it's a killer feature, so I hope you're already working on it! Adobe and Serif have just updated their software with JPEG XL support so now I'm waiting for C1 to fill in the gap in my workflow.2 -
In JPEG, the sky is covered with ugly pixel stripes! This is very harmful to landscape photographers. Here are some examples:

Very much I ask to add the ability to export to modern formats.

Now that Google and Mozilla no longer plan to support JXL, I strongly recommend to focus on AVIF because its support is still getting better. We need a successor for the limited JPEG fast.

Mozilla is neutral about it and the user base is demanding JXL quite vocally, so support is bound to come. Sure, support for opening AVIF is nice as those files might show up, but why would photographers want to export in AVIF when it doesn't even support resolutions over 4K without artifacts? AVIF is not widely used either so the two formats are both effectively new kids on the block trying to replace the currents standard format. Affinity has JXL support but not AVIF. Darktable just came out with JXL support.
If only one the two can be supported in the short term in a raw processor, it should be the one with higher quality (JXL). If someone really needs to send AVIF images, they could export in JXL and use some 3rd party app to convert it to AVIF. Going the other way around would mean a poorer quality image to begin with.
Yes, the web browser situation looks weird right now, but in the authoring realm JXL is the one gaining support. I wouldn't deliver a high quality photo of mine in AVIF. So it seems like first come the pro software and the browsers evidently later... (And yes, I'm also speaking from the point of view that I believe JXL is technically superior and thus I'm hoping for it to become popular asap, even though the politics of web formats is looking trickier for JXL than maybe expected.)1
