What's new in the WPE WebKit 2.22.0 release?
============================================


  - Several fixes for video playback with media source extensions (MSE).
    This allows using WebM support for YouTube, which no longer works through
    regular video source. Note that MSE is still disabled by default and
    webkit_settings_set_enable_mediasource() has to be used to enable the
    feature.
  - Add warn_unused_result attribute to some JavaScriptCore GLib APIs.
  - Fix the build in several platforms: s390x, ppc64le, armv7hl, mips64.
  - Fix the build with video disabled.
  - Fix symbols with jsc_ prefix not being exported.
  - Fix a memory leak during media playback when using playbin3.
  - Fix several crashes and rendering issues.


What is WPE WebKit?

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.
