Summary

WebKitGTK is the port of the portable web rendering engine WebKit to the

GTK platform.

This package contains WebKit2 based WebKitGTK for GTK 3.

* The Bubblewrap sandbox no longer requires setting an application identifier

via GApplication to operate correctly. Using GApplication is still recommended,

but optional. * Adjust the scrolling speed for mouse wheels to make it feel

more natural. * Allow pasting content using the Asynchronous Clipboard API when

the origin is the same as the clipboard contents. * Improvements to the

GStreamer multimedia playback, in particular around MSE, WebRTC, and seeking. *

Make all supported image types appear in the Accept HTTP header. * Fix text

caret blinking when blinking is disabled in the GTK settings. * Fix default

database quota size definition. * Fix application of all caps tags listed in

the font-feature-settings CSS property. * Fix font height calculations for the

font-size-adjust CSS property. * Fix several crashes and rendering issues. *
