PS4 SFO Program to Automate / Build PARAM.SFO Files by Hippie68
Proceeding his initial PS4 SFO Reader / Editor release, PS4 FTPDump Script and BIN2JS PS4 Payload Converter recently PlayStation 4 Scene developer Hippie68 updated his PS4 SFO program (written in C) which reads a file to print or modify its SFO parameters that can be used for automation or to build PS4 PARAM.SFO files from scratch. 
Download: sfo.exe (64-bit) / sfo_32.exe (32-bit) / GIT
This comes following several previous updates to PARAM.SFO Editor / PARAM SFO Tools, the PKGEditor for PS4 that allows modifying the values when opening PS4 Packages (PKGs) in the SFO tab alongside orbis-pub-sfo.exe which includes a friendly UI for those interested.
From the README.md: sfo.c
sfo.c can be compiled into a command line program, which is faster than the old "sfo" Bash script (roughly by factor 30). It is still compatible with the "pkgrename" and "fw" scripts, making their output faster. It can be used to query or modify param.sfo data or to build new param.sfo files from scratch.
Usage:
Reads a file to print or modify its SFO parameters. Supported file types:

Following Sony's PS5 System Software Beta Program Sign-ups and the previously released PS5 Beta Firmware, according to industry insider geronimo_73_ via Twitter it's rumored that PS5Scene testers could receive the next PlayStation 5 Beta version by the end of January 2022... while it's no surprise The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) confirmed the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2022 in-person event has been cancelled due to COVID-19 risks with no word on a 'digital replacement' yet. 
Update: It's now confirmed that E3 will not hold a physical nor digital show in 2022 but will return for 2023.
PS5 Beta Firmware / System Software 3.0-05.00.00 Incoming, Details
To quote from VideoGamesChronicle.com: "In a statement, E3’s organiser said that it had made the decision due to “ongoing health risks surrounding Covid-19 and its potential impact on the safety of exhibitors and attendees.”
There’s no mention of plans for a digital event for 2022. Last year, The ESA held three days of live streamed coverage to replace the physical E3 event."
As for the next PS5 Beta update, according to Roberto Serrano's Tweets below it's purported to include VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), 1440p, a Social Feed, Dynamic Background and Themes, and a new version of automatic HDR Tone Mapping feature to show the best picture...
