WPE WebKit 2.46.1 released

Download Documentation

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.
