This is a bug fix release in the stable 2.36 series.

## What's new in WPE WebKit 2.36.3?

- Support capturing already encoded video streams, which takes advantage
  of encoding done in hardware by devices which support this feature.
- Avoid using experimental GStreamer elements for video demuxing.
- Avoid using the legacy GStreamer VA-API decoding plug-ins, which often
  cause rendering issues and are not much maintained. Their usage can be
  re-enabled setting `WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_LEGACY_VAAPI=1` in the environment.
- Fix playback of YouTube streams which use dynamic ad insertion.
- Fix display capture with Pipewire.
- Fix the build without the X11 target when X11 headers are not present.
- 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.
