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.

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.
