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. + +#### Checksums + +
