WebKitGTK 2.38.4 released!
This is a bug fix release in the stable 2.38 series.
What's new in the WebKitGTK 2.38.4 release?
- Improve GStreamer multimedia playback across the board with improved
codec selection logic, better handling of latency, and improving
frame discard to avoid audio/video desynchronization, among other
fixes.
- Disable HLS media playback by default, which makes web sites use MSE
instead. If needed
WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_HLS_SUPPORT=1 can be set in the
environment to enable it back.
- Disable threaded rendering in GTK4 builds by default, as it was
causing crashes.
- Fix MediaSession API not showing artwork images.
- Fix MediaSession MPRIS usage when running inside a Flatpak sandbox.
- Fix input element controls to correctly scale when applying a zoom
factor different than the default.
- Fix leakage of Web processes in certain situations.
- Fix the injected bundle not being found when running inside a sandbox.
- Fix the build with
ENABLE_INTROSPECTION when cross-compiling.
- FIx the build with
ENABLE_WEBGL disabled.
- Fix the build with GStreamer-based WebRTC enabled.
- Fix the build with
USE_GTK4 enabled.
- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
