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

What's new in the WebKitGTK 2.36.3 release?
===========================================

  - 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 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.
