This is a bug fix release in the stable 2.38 series.

What's new in the WebKitGTK 2.38.6 release?
===========================================

  - Enable the Asynchronous Clipboard API to make certain pages work
    (e.g. GithHub started recently requiring it).
  - Support :has() CSS selectors in content filters.
  - Apply basic font properties as font variation settings.
  - The Bubblewrap sandbox no longer requires setting an application
    identifier via GApplication to operate correctly. Using GApplication
    is still recommended, but optional.
  - Improvements to the GStreamer multimedia playback, in particular
    around MSE, WebRTC, and seeking.
  - Fix the build with journald support enabled when using elogind
    instead of the systemd libraries.
  - Fix the build with Link-Time Optimization enabled (-flto=auto).
  - Fix context menus not working in the remote Web Inspector.
  - Fix usage of the remote Web Inspector over HTTP.
  - Fix debug logs not being emitted in release builds.
  - Fix several crashes and rendering issues.

What is WebKitGTK?
==================

WebKitGTK is the GNOME platform port of the WebKit rendering engine.
Offering WebKit's full functionality through a set of GObject-based
APIs, it is suitable for projects requiring any kind of web
integration, from hybrid HTML/CSS applications to full-fledged web
browsers.
