+
+This is the first bug fix release in the stable 2.46 series.
+
+### What's new in WPE WebKit 2.46.1?
+
+- Use the Skia CPU renderer by default, which at the moment performs better
+  in a number of embedded devices. The GPU renderer is still available and
+  may be enabled by setting `WEBKIT_SKIA_ENABLE_CPU_RENDERING=0` in the
+  environment.
+- Add an `ENABLE_WPE_PLATFORM` build option to CMake. This is disabled by
+  default because the WPEPlatform API is in development and provided as
+  part of the 2.46.x releases as a preview feature.
+- Fix login QR code not shown in WhatsApp web.
+- Fix processes not spawning when process startup is customized using
+  the `wpe_process_provider` API from `libwpe`.
+- Fix mouse simulation with WebDriver when using a classic WPE backend
+  through `libwpe`.
+- Disable DMABuf video sink by default to prevent file descriptor leaks.
+- Fix building the MiniBrowser.
+- Fix the build with `libsysprof-capture` version 44 and older.
+- Fix the build with GCC 13.
+- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
