Update on what happened in WebKit in the week from June 16 to June 23.
This week saw a variety of fixes on multimedia, including GStreamer, a fix for JSC, and the addition of analog gamepad buttons support for WPE.
Cross-Port 🐱
Multimedia 🎥
GStreamer-based multimedia support for WebKit, including (but not limited to) playback, capture, WebAudio, WebCodecs, and WebRTC.
WebRTC DTMF support was recently implemented in our GstWebRTC backend.
The WebCodecs VideoFrame copyTo() function now correctly handles odd-sized frames.
Multiple MediaRecorder-related improvements landed in main recently (1, 2, 3, 4), and also in GStreamer.
JavaScriptCore 🐟
The built-in JavaScript/ECMAScript engine for WebKit, also known as JSC or SquirrelFish.
JSC saw some fixes in i31 reference types when using Wasm GC.
WPE WebKit 📟
WPE now has support for analog gamepad buttons when using libwpe. Since version 1.16.2 libwpe has the capability to handle analog gamepad button events, but the support on the WPE side was missing. It has now been added, and will be enabled when the appropriate versions of libwpe are used.
That’s all for this week!
