-GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are
-optional.  We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on
-optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries.  If
-you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug
-report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
-
-
-Required tools:
-===============
-
-An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of
-git (using autogen.sh):
-
-autoconf 2.52 or better 
-automake 1.5
-gettext 0.11.5
-libtool v1.4 or better
-pkgconfig 0.9.0 or better (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
-
-Required libraries:
-===================
-
-The core GStreamer libraries. See the gstreamer/ module in GStreamer cvs, or
-the version that corresponds to this plugin release.
-
-Optional libraries:
-===================
-
-This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins contains plugins,
-as well as their minimum version.  You can find the corresponding plugins in
-ext/(library)
-
-a52dec		(for the a52dec AC-3 decoder)
-			http://liba52.sourceforge.net/
-libdvdread	(for the dvdreadsrc)
-			http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/
-			(optional: libcss for encrypted DVDs)
-mpeg2dec	(for mpeg2 related plugins and dvd playback)
-			http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/
-liborc		(for the liborc optimization library)
-			http://code.entropywave.com/download/orc/
-cdio		(for the cdio CDDA CD audio source)
-			http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libcdio/
-x264		(for the x264enc H.264 encoder)
-			http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html
-sidplay		FIXME

-	  With this patch, configure time is identical no matter whether doc is

-	  The configuration files also now contain explicitly-listed sources with
-	  no wildcards.
-	  For the four libraries where hotdoc needs to use clang to generate the
-	  documentation (as opposed to the rest of the libraries where hotdoc uses
-	  the gir), the script will call pkg-config to determine the appropriate
-	  C flags.
-	  This means a side effect of this patch is that pkg-config files are now
-	  generated for the gstadaptivedemux and gstopencv libraries.

 ## Major new features and changes
 
-### H.266 Versatile Video Coding (VVC) codec support
-
--   The H.266 / VVC video codec is a successor to H.265 / HEVC and is standardised in ISO/IEC 23090-3.
-
--   A new h266parse element was added, along with parsing API, typefinding support and some codec utility functions in the
-    gst-plugins-base utility library.
+### AMD HIP plugin and integration library
 
--   A H.266 decoder base class for hardware-accelerated decoders was added and used to implement a VA-API-based
-    hardware-accelerated H.266 decoder.
+-   HIP (formerly known as Heterogeneous-computing Interface for Portability) is AMD’s GPU programming API that enables
+    portable, CUDA-like development across both AMD and NVIDIA platforms:
 
--   The FFmpeg H.266 decoder is exposed now (from FFmpeg 7.0 onwards).
+    -   On AMD GPUs, HIP runs natively via the ROCm stack.
+    -   On NVIDIA GPUs, HIP operates as a thin translation layer over the CUDA runtime and driver APIs.
 
--   H.266 / VVC muxing and demuxing support was implemented for MP4, Matroska and MPEG-TS containers.
+    This allows developers to maintain a single codebase that can target multiple GPU vendors with minimal effort.
 
--   A VVdeC-based H.266 decoder element was added to the Rust plugins, based on the Fraunhofer Versatile Video Decoder library.
+-   The new HIP plugin provides the following elements:
 
-### JPEG XS image codec support
+    -   hipcompositor: a HIP-based video mixer/compositor
+    -   hipconvert: Converts video from one colorspace to another using HIP
+    -   hipconvertscale: Resizes video and allow color conversion using HIP
+    -   hipscale: Resize video using HIP
+    -   hipdownload: Downloads HIP device memory into system memory
+    -   hipupload: Uploads system memory into HIP device memory
 
--   JPEG XS is a visually lossless, low-latency, intra-only video codec for video production workflows, standardised in ISO/IEC
-    21122.
+-   The GStreamer HIP integration helper library provides HIP integration functionality to applications and other HIP users.
 
--   JPEG XS encoder and decoder elements based on the SVT JPEG XS library were added, including support for muxing JPEG XS into
-    MPEG-TS and demuxing it. Both interlaced and progressive modes are supported.
+-   Watch the Bringing AMD HIP into GStreamer talk from last year’s GStreamer Conference for more details or read Seungha’s
+    devlog post on the subject.
 
-### Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC) support
+### Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC) support for H.265 and H.266
 
 -   LCEVC is a codec that provides an enhancement layer on top of another codec such as H.264 for example. It is standardised as
     MPEG-5 Part 2.
 
--   LCEVC encoder and decoder elements based on V-Nova’s SDK libraries were added, including support in h264parse for extracting
-    the enhancement layer from H.264 and decoding it via a lcevch264decodebin element.
+-   LCEVC H.265 and H.266 encoder and decoder elements based on V-Nova’s SDK libraries were added in this cycle
 
-### Closed captions improvements
+-   Autoplugging support for LCEVC H265 and H266 video streams, so these can be decoded automatically in a decodebin3 or
+    playbin3 scenario.
 
--   New H.264 and H.265 closed captions extractor and inserter elements.
+### Closed captions and text handling improvements
 
-    -   These extractor elements don’t actually extract captions from the bitstream, but rely on parser elements to do that and
-        add them to buffers in form of caption metas. The problem is that streams might contain B-frames, in which case the
-        captions in the bitstream will not be in presentation order and extracting them requires frame-reordering in the same
-        way that a decoder would do. These new elements will do exactly that and allow you to extract captions in presentation
-        order without having to decode the stream.
+-   cea708overlay: suport non-relative positioning for streams with CCs that do not have relative positions. Instead of
+    displaying them at the top, they are positioned relatively.
 
-    -   The inserter elements do something similar and insert caption SEIs into the H.264 or H.265 bitstream, taking into
-        account frame ordering.
+-   cea708mux: expose “discarded-services” property on sink pads. This can be useful when muxing in an original caption stream
+    with a newly-created one (e.g. transcription / translation), in which case one might wish to discard select services from
+    the original stream in order to avoid garbled captions.
 
-    -   This is useful if one wants to extract, process and re-insert captions into an existing video bitstream without decoding
-        and re-encoding it (in which case the decoder and encoder would handle the caption reordering).
+-   sccparse: Better handling of streams with more byte tuples in the SCC field.
 
--   cdpserviceinject: New element for injecting a CDP service descriptor into closed caption CDP packets
+-   tttocea608: expose “speaker-prefix” property
 
--   cea708overlay: New element for overlaying CEA608 / CEA708 closed captions over video streams.
-
--   The cc708overlay element has been deprecated in favour of the cea708overlay element from the Rust plugins set.
-
--   cea608mux gained a "force-live" property to make it always in live mode and aggregate on timeout regardless of whether any
-    live sources are linked upstream.
+-   Miscellaneous improvements and spec compliance fixes
 
--   cea708mux: New element that allows to mux multiple CEA708 services into a single stream.
+-   Also see SMPTE ST-2038 metadata section below.
 
--   cccombiner has two new properties:
+### Speech to Text, Translation and Speech Synthesis
 
-    -   "input-meta-processing" controls how input closed caption metas are processed and can be used to e.g. discard closed
-        captions from the input pad if the matching video buffer already has closed caption on it.
+-   New audio source separation element based on demucs in Rust. This is useful to separate speech from background audio before
+    running speech to text transcription, but could also be used to separate vocals from music for karaoke.
 
-    -   "schedule-timeout" to support timing out captions without EOS
+-   New Deepgram speech-to-text transcription plugin in Rust.
 
--   tttocea708: New element for converting timed-text to CEA708 closed captions
+-   The Speechmatics transcriber has seen a major refactoring for better timings, gap and discontinuity handling and has gained
+    support for the new Speechmatics speaker identification API as well as a new property to mask profanities.
 
--   Miscellaneous improvements and spec compliance fixes
+-   New ElevenLabs voice cloning element. The new element can operate in two modes:
 
-### Speech to Text, Translation and Speech Synthesis
+    -   In single speaker mode, the element will directly clone a single voice from its input, without storing any samples.
+    -   Otherwise, the element will store a backlog of samples, and wait to receive certain events from a transcriber on its
+        source pad before draining them to create potentially multiple voices.
 
--   awstranscriber2, awstranslate: New elements around the AWS transcription and translation services.
+-   New “compress” overflow mode for speech synthesizers that can speed up the audio while preserving pitch. This may be needed
+    to keep or regain audio/video synchronisation if translated speech output has been consistently longer in duration than the
+    original and there hasn’t been a sufficient amount of silence that could be filled in to make up the difference.
 
--   polly: New element around the AWS text-to-speech polly services
+-   awstranslate: new “brevity-on” property for turning brevity on.
 
--   speechmatics: New transcriber / speech-to-text and translation element
+-   The awstranscriber2 has been refactored to match the speechmatics transcriber design and gained a “show-speaker-label”
+    property that defines whether to partition speakers in the transcription output.
 
--   translationbin: Helper bin around translation elements, similar to the already existing transcriberbin for transcriptions.
+-   New textaccumulate element for speech synthesis or translation preprocessing that can be used to accumulate words and
+    punctuation into complete sentences (or sentence fragments) for synthesis and / or translation by further elements
+    downstream.
 
 ### HLS DASH adaptive streaming improvements
 
--   The adaptivedemux2 client implementation gained support for file:// URIs and as such the ability to play HLS and DASH from
-    local files. It also no longer sends spurious flush events when it loses sync in live streams, as that is unexpected and
-    will be handled poorly in non-playback scenarios. Lastly, support for HTTP request retries was added via the "max-retries"
-    property, along with some exponential backoff logic which can be fine-tuned via properties.
-
--   dashsink has received period duration fixes for dynamic MPDs and some memory leak fixes.
-
--   hlscmafsink, hlssink3: New single-variant HLS sink elements that can output CMAF (fMP4) or MPEG-TS fragments.
+-   Reverse playback, seeking and stream selection fixes in the HLS/DASH clients.
 
--   hlsmultivariantsink: New sink element that can output an HLS stream with multiple variants
+-   hlscmafsink can generate I-frame only playlists now
 
-### splitmuxsrc, splitmuxsink: lazy loading and dynamic fragment addition
+-   Both hlssink3 and hlscmafsink gained support for use of a single media file, in which case the media playlist will use byte
+    range tags for each chunk whilst always referencing the same single media file. This can be useful for VOD use cases.
 
--   splitmuxsrc and splitmuxsink were originally designed to handle a small number of large file fragments, e.g. for situations
-    where one doesn’t want to exceed a certain file size when recording to legacy file systems. It was also designed for playing
-    back a static set of file fragments that have been created by an earlier recording session and no longer changes. Over time
-    people have found more applications and use cases for the splitmux elements and have been deploying them in different
-    scenarios, exposing the limits of the current implementation.
+### decodebin3 and playbin3 improvements
 
--   In this release, splitmuxsink and splitmuxsrc gained new abilities aimed at improving support for recordings with a large
-    number of files, and for adding fragments on the fly to allow playback of ongoing recordings:
+-   decodebin3 now has a separate pad template for metadata streams and considers KLV, ID3 PES streams and ST-2038 ancillary
+    streams as raw formats for meta streams. This comes also with a new dedicated GST_STREAM_TYPE_METADATA stream type in the
+    stream collection.
 
-    -   You can now add fragments directly to splitmuxsrc and provide the offset and duration in the stream:
+### Enhanced RTMP and multitrack audio/video support in FLV
 
-        -   Providing offset and duration means splitmuxsrc doesn’t need to scan the file to measure it and calculate it. That
-            makes for much faster startup.
+-   The FLV container used for RTMP streaming is fairly old and limited in terms of features: It only supports one audio and one
+    video track, and also only a very limited number of audio and video codecs, most of which are by now quite long in the
+    tooth.
 
-        -   The new "add-fragment" signal can be used to add files to the set dynamically - allowing to be playing an ongoing
-            recording and adding files to the playback set as they are finished.
+-   The Enhanced RTMP (V2) specification seeks to remedy this and adds support for modern video codecs such H.265 and AV1 as
+    well as support for more than one audio and video track inside the container.
 
-    -   splitmuxsrc no longer keeps all files open, but instead only keeps 100 files open by default, configurable with the
-        "num-open-fragments" property.
+-   Both H.265 video and multiple audio/video tracks are now supported for FLV in GStreamer.
 
-    -   There is a new "num-lookahead" property on splitmuxsrc to trigger (re)opening files a certain distance ahead of the play
-        position.
-
-    -   splitmuxsink will report fragment offset and fragment duration via a message on the bus when closing a file. This
-        information can then be used to add the new fragment to a splitmuxsrc.
+-   Support for this comes in form of a new eflvmux muxer element, which is needed to accommodate both the need of backwards
+    compatibility in the existing FLV muxer and the requirements of the new format. See Tarun’s blog post for more details.
 
 ### MPEG-TS container format improvements
 
--   The MPEG-TS muxer and demuxer gained support for
-
-    -   H.266 / VVC video muxing and demuxing
-    -   JPEG-XS video muxing and demuxing
-    -   VP9 video muxing and demuxing (using a custom mapping)
-    -   AV1 video muxing and demuxing (using a custom mapping, since the work-in-progress specification effort doesn’t seem to
-        be going anywhere anytime soon)
-    -   SMPTE ST-2038 ancillary metadata streams (see section above)
-
--   mpegtsmux gained support for muxing ID3 metadata into the TS stream, as well as SMPTE 302M audio.
+-   The MPEG-TS demuxer gained a “skew-corrections” property that allows disabling of skew corrections, which are done by
+    default for live inputs to make sure downstream consumes data at the same rate as it comes in if the local clock and the
+    sender clock drift apart (as they usually do). Disabling skew corrections is useful if the input stream has already been
+    clock-corrected (for example with mpegtslivesrc) or where the output doesn’t require synchronisation against a clock,
+    e.g. when it’s re-encoded and/or remuxed and written to file (incl. HLS/DASH output) where it’s desirable to maintain the
+    original timestamps and frame spacings.
+
+    It is also useful for cases where we want to refer to the PCR stream to figure out global positioning, gap detection and
+    wrapover correction.
+
+-   tsdemux now also supports demuxing of ID3 tags in MPEG-TS as specified in the Apple Timed Metadata for HTTP Live Streaming
+    specification. These timed ID3 tags have a media type of meta/x-id3 which is different from the one used to tag audio files,
+    and an id3metaparse element is needed to properly frame the PES data coming out of the demuxer.
 
--   It’s also possible to disable sending SCTE-35 null (heartbeat) packets now in mpegtsmux by setting the
-    "scte-35-null-interval" to 0.
-
--   tsparse now handles 192-byte M2TS packets
-
--   mpegtslivesrc: New source element that can wrap a live MPEG-TS source (e.g. SRT or UDP source) and provides a clock based on
-    the PCR.
+-   The MPEG-TS muxer now also reads prog-mapPMT_ORDER_<PID> for PMT order key in addition to prog-mapPMT_%d, which fixes a
+    wart in the API and provides an unambiguous way to specify ordering keys.
 
 ### Matroska container format improvements
 
--   H.266 / VVC video muxing and demuxing support
-
--   matroskamux
-
-    -   was ported to the GstAggregator base class, ensuring defined-latency muxing in live streaming pipelines.
-    -   gained rotation tag support
-
--   matroskademux now also supports seeks with a stop position in push mode.
+-   matroskademux now supports relative position cues in the seek table and also had its maximum block size restrictions updated
+    so that it can support uncompressed video frames also in 4k UHD resolution and higher bit depths.
 
 ### ISO MP4 container format improvements
 
--   can mux and demux H.266 / VVC in MP4 now
-
--   can demux Hap video now, as well as Lagarith lossless video and ISO/IEC 23003-5 raw PCM audio.
+-   mp4mux now supports E-AC3 muxing
 
--   qtdemux handles keyunit-only trick mode also in push mode now
+-   qtdemux, the MP4 demuxer, has seen countless fixes for various advanced use cases (with lots more in the pipeline for
+    1.28.1).
 
--   support for ISO/IEC 23001-17 raw video in MP4 in qtdemux and isomp4mux.
+-   The isomp4mux from the Rust plugins set now support caps changes and has also gained support for raw audio as per ISO/IEC
+    23003-5. Plus improved brand selection.
 
--   support for rotation tags in the muxers and demuxers was improved to correctly handle per-media and per-track rotations, and
-    support for flips was added as well.
+-   The isomp4mux, isofmp4mux and related elements were merged into a single isobmff plugin, which allows sharing more code. As
+    part of this, codec support was consolidated between the two.
 
-SMPTE 2038 ancillary data streams
+### MXF container format improvements
 
--   SMPTE 2038 (pdf) is a generic system to put VBI-style ancillary data into an MPEG-TS container. This could include all kinds
-    of metadata such as scoreboard data or game clocks, and of course also closed captions, in this case in form of a distinct
-    stream completely separate from any video bitstream.
+-   The MXF muxer and demuxer gained support for non-closed-caption VANC ancillary metdata:
 
--   A number of new elements in the GStreamer Rust closedcaption plugin add support for this, along with mappings for it in the
-    MPEG-TS muxer and demuxer. The new elements are:
+    -   Extends mxfdemux with support for outputting VANC (ST436M) essence tracks as ST2038 streams instead of extracting closed
+        captions internally.
 
-    -   st2038ancdemux: splits SMPTE ST-2038 ancillary metadata (as received from tsdemux) into separate streams per DID/SDID
-        and line/horizontal_offset. Will add a sometimes pad with details for each ancillary stream. Also has an always source
-        pad that just outputs all ancillary streams for easy forwarding or remuxing, in case none of the ancillary streams need
-        to be modified or dropped.
+    -   Extends mxfmux with support for consuming ST2038 streams for outputting VANC (ST436M) essence tracks instead of only
+        supporting closed captions.
 
-    -   st2038ancmux: muxes SMPTE ST-2038 ancillary metadata streams into a single stream for muxing into MPEG-TS with
-        mpegtsmux. Combines ancillary data on the same line if needed, as is required for MPEG-TS muxing. Can accept individual
-        ancillary metadata streams as inputs and/or the combined stream from st2038ancdemux.
+To support ST2038 instead of the earlier closed captions, we introduce a breaking change to the caps handling on the pad. This
+was deemed the cleanest way and should hopefully not cause too much breakage in the real world, as it is likely not something
+that was used much in practice in this form. The st2038anctocc element can be used to convert a ST2038 stream to plain closed
+captions.
 
-        If the video framerate is known, it can be signalled to the ancillary data muxer via the output caps by adding a
-        capsfilter behind it, with e.g. meta/x-st-2038,framerate=30/1.
+We also now support both 8 and 10-bit VANC data when reading from MXF.
 
-        This allows the muxer to bundle all packets belonging to the same frame (with the same timestamp), but that is not
-        required. In case there are multiple streams with the same DID/SDID that have an ST-2038 packet for the same frame, it
-        will prioritise the one from more recently created request pads over those from earlier created request pads (which
-        might contain a combined stream for example if that’s fed first).
+### MPEG-H audio support
 
-    -   st2038anctocc: extracts closed captions (CEA-608 and/or CEA-708) from SMPTE ST-2038 ancillary metadata streams and
-        outputs them on the respective sometimes source pad (src_cea608 or src_cea708). The data is output as a closed caption
-        stream with caps closedcaption/x-cea-608,format=s334-1a or closedcaption/x-cea-708,format=cdp for further processing by
-        other GStreamer closed caption processing elements.
+-   New MPEG-H audio decoding plugin based on the Fraunhofer MPEG-H decoder implementation plus MP4 demuxing support
 
-    -   cctost2038anc: takes closed captions (CEA-608 and/or CEA-708) as produced by other GStreamer closed caption processing
-        elements and converts them into SMPTE ST-2038 ancillary data that can be fed to st2038ancmux and then to mpegtsmux for
-        splicing/muxing into an MPEG-TS container. The line-number and horizontal-offset properties should be set to the desired
-        line number and horizontal offset.
-
-### Analytics
+SMPTE 2038 ancillary data stream handling improvements
 
--   Added a GstTensorMeta: This meta is designed to carry tensors from the inference element to the model-specific tensor
-    decoder. This also includes a basic GstTensor class containing a single tensor. The actual tensor data is a GstBuffer.
+-   New ST-2038 ancillary data combiner and extractor elements in the rsclosedcaption Rust plugin that extract ST-3028 metadata
+    streams from GstAncillaryMetas on video frames or converts ST-2038 metadata streams to GstAncillaryMeta and combines it with
+    a given video stream.
 
--   Add N_TO_N relationship to GstAnalyticsRelationMeta: This makes it possible to describe N-to-N relationships. For example,
-    between classes and regions in an instance segmentation.
+-   The MXF demuxer and muxer gained support for muxing and demuxing generic ancillary metadata in ST-2038 format (see below).
 
--   Add a new analytics Mtd to carry segmentation masks: Being part of the GstAnalyticsMeta, it can be in relationship with the
-    other Mtd, such as the classification and object detection bounding boxes.
+-   decodebin3 now treats ST-2038 metadata streams as a “raw metadata format” and exposes those streams as
+    GST_STREAM_TYPE_METADATA.
 
--   onvifmetadataextractor: New element that can extract ONVIF metadata from GstMetas into a separate stream
-
--   originalbuffer: New plugin with originalbuffersave / originalbufferrestore elements that allow saving an original buffer,
-    modifying it for analytics, and then restoring the original buffer content while keeping any additional metadata that was
-    added.
+### Analytics
 
--   relationmeta: New plugin with elements converting between GstRelationMeta and ONVIF XML metadata.
+This release introduces a major improvement in how analytics pipelines are built, moving away from manual configuration toward a
+fully negotiated analytics pipeline.
 
--   Improved Python bindings for a more Pythonic interface when iterating over GstRelationMeta’s mtd
+-   Robust Tensor Negotiation & Smart Selection: All inference and tensor decoder elements adopt the tensor capability
+    negotiation mechanism. This provides informative error handling by validating the pipeline during the setup phase and
+    providing descriptive error messages for configuration mismatches before processing begins. Complementing this, the new
+    tensordecodebin acts as an intelligent proxy that abstracts decoder selection by auto-plugging the correct tensor decoder.
+    This simplifies the use of existing tensor decoders and allows new tensor decoders to be utilized instantly without
+    requiring changes to pipeline definitions.
 
-### Vulkan integration enhancements
+-   Simplified Model Integration with modelinfo: The modelinfo library, configuration files, and the modelinfo-generator.py
+    script work together to make using any ML model inside a GStreamer pipeline very simple. The new utility script helps you
+    quickly generate or upgrade metadata files for existing models. Combined with tensor negotiation and tensordecodebin, these
+    tools facilitate the seamless utilization of new models within the analytics chain.
 
--   Vulkan Integration Improvements:
+-   analyticsoverlay: New “expire-overlay” property added to objectdetectionoverlay and can also show tracking-id; New
+    ‘segmentationoverlay’ to visualize segmented regions.
 
-    -   Memory Management: Non-coherent memory is now invalidated when mapping for read in vkmemory.
+-   Add LiteRT inference element
 
-    -   Color Space Selection: The vkswapper component now chooses the correct color space based on the format.
+-   Analytics: add general classifier tensor-decoder, facedetector, YOLOv8 (detection), YOLOv8segmentation tensor decoders and
+    more convenience API.
 
-    -   Vulkan Plugin Compatibility: Support added for cases where glslc is not available for building Vulkan plugins, along
-        with GLSL compiler support for glslang.
+-   onnx: Add Verisilicon provider support
 
-    -   Fullscreen Quad Updates: Improved support for setting NULL input/output buffers and added checks for unset video info.
+-   New IoU based tracker
 
-    -   Vulkan Buffer Pool Enhancements: Buffer pool access flags and usage configurations have been refined, offering better
-        performance for video decoding and encoding.
+-   Add GstAnalyticsBatchMeta representing a batch of buffers from one or more streams together with the relevant events to be
+    able to interpret the buffers and to be able to reconstruct the original streams.
 
--   Decoder/Encoder Improvements:
+-   New analyticscombiner and analyticssplitter elements in the Rust plugin set which batch buffers from one or more streams
+    into a single stream via the new GstAnalyticsBatchMeta and allow splitting that single stream into the individual ones again
+    later.
 
-    -   H264 Decoder: Enhancements to the vkh264dec component for better support of extended profiles and interlaced content
-        decoding.
+-   Add a burn-based YOLOX inference element and a YOLOX tensor decoder in Rust.
 
-    -   H265 Decoder fixes: vkh265dec updated for proper handling of VPS/SPS on demand, along with fixes to PicOrderCntVal.
+### Vulkan integration enhancements
 
-    -   Encoder Performance: Various internal optimizations to the Vulkan encoder, including removal of redundant references and
-        better management of the DPB view.
+-   The Vulkan Video encoders and decoders now dynamically generate their pad template caps at runtime instead of hardcoding
+    them, so they more accurately reflect the actual capabilities of the hardware and drivers.
 
--   Vulkan Instance and Device Management:
+-   New Vulkan AV1 and VP9 video decoding support
 
-    -   Device Handling: Added new utility functions for managing Vulkan device instances, including
-        gst_vulkan_instance_create_device_with_index and gst_vulkan_ensure_element_device.
+-   New Vulkan H.264 encoding support
 
-    -   Device Context Management: Updates to manage Vulkan context handling more effectively within the application.
+-   The Vulkan H.265 decoder now also supports 10-bit depth
 
 ### OpenGL integration enhancements
 
--   glcolorconvert gained support for more formats and conversions:
-
-    -   Planar YUV <-> planar YUV conversions
-    -   Converting to and from v210 in general
-    -   v210 <-> planar YUV
-    -   UYVY and YUY2 <-> planar YUV
-    -   v210 <-> UYVY and YUY2
-    -   Support for Y444_10, Y444_16, I422_10, I422_12 pixel formats (both little endian and big endian variants)
+-   Implement keyboard, mouse, and scroll wheel navigation event handling for the OpenGL Cocoa backend.
 
--   gldownload can import DMABufs from a downstream pool
+-   Added support for the NV24 and Y444_12 pixel formats. The latter is used by certain HEVC decoders for 12-bit non-subsampled
+    profiles.
 
--   glupload gained a DRM raw uploader
+### udmabuf allocator with glupload support
 
-### Qt5 + Qt6 QML integration improvements
+-   Implement a udmabuf-based memory allocator for user-space mappable dmabufs.
 
--   qmlglsink, qml6glsink now support external-oes textures, which allows direct DMABuf import from hardware decoders. Both also
-    support NV12 as an input format now.
-
--   qmlglsink gained support for RGB16/BGR16 as input format
-
--   qmlgl6src can now use a downstream buffer pool when available
-
--   qmlgloverlay make the depth/stencil buffer optional, which reduces memory bandwidth on Windows.
-
-### CUDA / NVCODEC integration and feature additions
+-   glupload: add udmabuf uploader to share buffers between software decoders/sources and GPUs, display engines (wayland), and
+    other dma devices. This can help reduce memory copies and can massively improve performance in video players like Showtime
+    or Totem for software-decoded video such as AV1 with dav1ddec.
 
--   Added AV1 video encoder nvav1enc
+-   gtk4paintablesink: Similar to glupload, this now proposes the udmabuf memory allocator to upstream which can reduce memory
+    copies and improve performance with certain software decoders.
 
--   CUDA mode nvcuda{CODEC}enc encode elements are renamed to nv{CODEC}enc and old nv{CODEC}enc implementations are removed
+### Wayland integration
 
--   Added support for CUDA Stream-Ordered allocator
+-   Added basic colorimetry support
 
--   Added cudacompositor element which is equivalent to the software compositor element but uses CUDA
+-   waylandsink:
 
--   Added support for CUDA kernel precompile at plugin build time using nvcc and NVCODEC plugin can cache/reuse compiled CUDA
-    CUBIN/PTX
+    -   Parse and set the HDR10 metadata and other color management improvements
 
--   cudaupload and cudadownload elements can support Jetson platform’s NVMM memory in addition to already supported desktop NVMM
-    memory
+    -   udmabuf support (see above)
 
--   Introduced nvdswrapper plugin which uses NVIDIA DeepStream SDK APIs with gst-cuda in an integrated way:
+    -   video crop meta support
 
-    -   nvdsdewarp: NVIDIA NVWarp360 API based dewarping element
+    -   New “fullscreen-output” and “force-aspect-ratio” properties
 
-### GStreamer Direct3D12 integration
-
--   New gst-d3d12 public library. The following elements are integrated with the gst-d3d12 library:
-
-    -   NVIDIA NVCODEC decoders and encoders can support D3D12 memory
-    -   Intel QSV encoders can accept D3D12 memory
-    -   All elements in dwrite plugin can support D3D12 memory
-
--   The d3d12 library and plugin can be built with MinGW toolchain now (in addition to MSVC)
+### Qt5 + Qt6 QML integration improvements
 
--   D3D12 video decoders and d3d12videosink are promoted to have higher rank than D3D11 elements
+-   New Qt6 QML qml6 render source element
 
--   Added support for multiple mip-levels D3D12 textures:
+-   qml6gloverlay: support directly passing a QQuickItem for QML the render tree
 
-    -   Newly added d3d12mipmapping element can generate D3D12 textures with multiple mip-levels
+### GTK4 integration improvements
 
-    -   max-mip-levels property is added to d3d12convert, d3d12videosink, and d3d12swapchainsink element, so that the elements
-        can generate an intermediate texture with multiple mip-levels in order to reduce downscale aliasing artifacts
+-   gtk4paintablesink: Added YCbCr memory texture formats and improve color-state fallbacks. The sink will also propose a
+    udmabuf buffer pool and allocator now if upstream asks for sysmem, which would allow direct imports of the memory by
+    GL/Vulkan or the compositor. Plus many other improvements which have also been backported into the 0.14 branch.
 
--   d3d12convert, d3d12videosink, and d3d12swapchainsink support the GstColorBalanceInterface to offer color balancing functions
-    such as hue, saturation, and brightness adjustment
+### CUDA / NVCODEC integration and feature additions
 
--   Added d3d12ipcsink and d3d12ipcsrc elements for zero-copy GPU memory sharing between processes
+-   cudacompositor, cudaconvert and its variants gained crop meta support
 
--   d3d12upload and d3d12download support direct GPU memory copy between D3D12 and D3D12 resources
+-   nvencoder: interlaced video handling improvements and “emit-frame-stats” property which if enabled makes the encoder emit
+    the “frame-stats” signal for each encoded frame, allowing applications to monitor things like the average QP per frame.
 
--   Added d3d12swapchainsink element to support DirectComposition or UWP/WinUI3 SwapChainPanel based applications
+-   nvjpegenc: Add an autogpu mode element (nvautogpunvenc) similar to nvautogpu{h264,h265,av1}enc.
 
--   Added d3d12deinterlace element which performs deinterlacing using a GPU vendor agnostic compute shader.
+-   nvh264enc, nvh265enc gained a new “num-slices” property which is conditionally available based on device support for dynamic
+    slice mode
 
--   d3d12screencapturesrc element can capture HDR enabled desktop correctly in DDA mode (DXGI Desktop Duplication API)
+-   nvdsdewarp: performance improvements and support for output resizing support, along with a new “add-borders” property.
 
 ### Capture and playout cards support
 
--   ajasrc: Improve clock handling, frame counting, capture timestamping, and signal loss recovery
-
--   The Blackmagic Decklink plugin gained support
-
-    -   for HDR output and input (PQ + HLG static metadata)
-
-    -   all modes of Quad HDMI recorder
-
-    -   scheduling frames before they need to be displayed in decklinkvideosink
+-   Blackmagic Decklink elements gained support for capturing and outputting all types of VANC via GstAncillaryMeta
 
 ### RTP and RTSP stack improvements
 
--   rtspsrc now supports client-managed MIKEY key management. Some RTSP servers (e.g. Axis cameras) expect the client to propose
-    the encryption key(s) to be used for SRTP / SRTCP. This is required to allow re-keying. This mode can be enabled by enabling
-    the "client-managed-mikey-mode" property and comes with a number of new signals ("request-rtp-key" and "request-rtcp-key"),
-    action signals ("set-mikey-parameter" and "remove-key") and properties ("hard-limit" and "soft-limit").
-
--   rtpbin: Add new “never” and “ntp” RTCP sync modes
+-   rtspsrc now sends RTSP keepalives also in TCP/interleaved modes. This fixes problems with some cameras that don’t see the
+    RTCP traffic as sufficient proof of liveness, when using TCP/HTTP tunnelled modes.
 
-    -   Never is useful for some RTSP servers that report plain garbage both via RTCP SR and RTP-Info, for example.
-    -   NTP is useful if synchronization should only ever happen based on RTCP SR or NTP-64 RTP header extensions.
+-   New Rust RTP mparobust depayloader for “robust mp3” audio**, a more loss-tolerant RTP payload format for MP3 audio (RFC
+    5219)
 
-    This is part of a bigger refactoring of the synchronization / offsetting code in rtpbin, which also makes it regularly emit
-    the sync signal even if no new synchronisation information is available, controlled by the new "min-sync-interval" property.
+-   New Rust RTP L8/L16/L24 raw audio payloader and depayloader, which offer more correct timestamp handling compared to the old
+    payloader and depayloader and more correctly implements multichannel support.
 
--   rtpjitterbuffer: add RFC7273 active status to jitterbuffer stats so applications can easily check whether RFC7273 sync is
-    active.
+-   New Rust RTP SMTPE ST291 ancillary data payloader and depayloader for sending or receiving ancillary data over RTP. This is
+    also the payload format used by ST2110-40.
 
--   rtph265depay: Add "wait-for-keyframe" "request-keyframe" properties and improve request keyframe logic
+-   Various performance improvements and fixes for rtprecv / rtpsend (“rtpbin2”).
 
--   rtppassthroughpay gained the ability to regenerate RTP timestamps from buffer timestamps via the new "retimestamp-mode"
-    property. This is useful in a relay RTSP server if one wants to do full drift compensation and ensure that the stream coming
-    out of gst-rtsp-server is not drifting compared to the pipeline clock and also not compared to the RTCP NTP times.
-
--   New Rust RTP payloaders and depayloaders for AC3, AMR, JPEG, KLV, MPEG-TS (MP2T), MPEG-4 (MP4A, MP4G), Opus, PCMU (uLaw),
-    PCMA (aLaw), VP8, VP9.
-
--   New rtpbin2 based on separate rtprecv and rtpsend elements
+-   Support for “multi-time aggregation packets” (MTAP) in the H264 RTP depayloader rtph264depay.
 
 ### WebRTC improvements
 
--   webrtcbin improvements
-
-    -   Make basic rollbacks work
+-   webrtcbin and GstWebRTC library improvements:
 
-    -   Add "reuse-source-pads" property: When set to FALSE, if a transceiver becomes send-only or inactive then pre-existing
-        source pads will receive an EOS event and no further traffic even after further renegotiation. When TRUE, pads will
-        simply not receive any output when the negotiated transceiver state doesn’t have incoming traffic. If renegotiated
-        later, the pad will receive data again.
+    -   Add support for getting the selected ICE candidate pairs
 
-    -   Early CNAME support (RFC5576): Have CNAME available to the jitterbuffer before the the first RTCP SR is received, for
-        rapid synchronization.
+    -   Improve spec compliance for ICE candidate stats by filling the foundation, related-address, related-port,
+        username-fragment and tcp-type fields of stats.
 
-    -   New "post-rtp-aux-sender" signal to allow for placement of an object after rtpbin, before sendbin. This is useful for
-        objects such as congestion control elements, that don’t want to be burdened by the synchronization requirements of
-        rtpsession.
+    -   improve compatibility with LiveKit
 
-    -   Create and associate transceivers earlier in negotiation, and other spec compliance improvements
-
-    -   Statistics generation improvements for bundled streams
+-   webrtcsink and webrtcsrc enhancements:
 
--   webrtcsink improvements:
+    -   webrtcsink gained renegotiation support, and support for va hardware encoders
 
-    -   Support for more encoders: nvv4l2av1enc, vpuenc_h264 (for imx8mp), nvav1enc, av1enc, rav1enc and nvh265enc.
+-   Added a WHEP client signaller and server signaller to the Rust webrtc plugin, including support for server side offers for
+    the WHEP client.
 
-    -   The new "define-encoder-bitrates" signal allows applications to fine-tune the bitrate allocation for individual streams
-        in cases where there are multiple encoders. By default the bitrate is split equally between encoders.
+-   webrtc-api: Set default bundle policy to max-bundle.
 
-    -   A generic mechanism was implemented to forward metas over the control channel.
+-   The dtls plugin now uses a ECDSA private key for the default certificate. ECDSA is widely used in browsers and SFUs, and
+    some servers such as the ones using BouncyCastle only accept certificates signed with ECDSA.
 
-    -   Added a mechanism for SDP munging to handle server-specific quirks.
+### New GStreamer C++ bindings
 
-    -   Can expose a built-in web server and signalling server for prototyping and debugging purposes.
+The old GStreamer C++ bindings (gstreamermm and qt-gstreamer) have been unmaintained for a long time, leaving C++ developers
+only with the option to use the GStreamer C API.
 
--   webrtcsink and webrtcsrc enhancements:
+In recent years, a new approach for C++ bindings was developed by the GNOME community: peel. While initially developed for GTK,
+with various GObject Introspection and API fixes included in GStreamer 1.28, this is now also usable for GStreamer.
 
-    -   Support for raw payloads, i.e. uncompressed audio and video
+Compared to gstreamermm this offers a much lower overhead, headers-only C++ binding that just depends on the C libraries and not
+even the C++ STL, and provides a modern C++ API top of the GStreamer C API. Compared to qt-gstreamer there is no dependency on
+Qt.
 
-    -   NTP & PTP clock signalling and synchronization support (RFC 7273)
+It’s still in active development and various MRs for improving the GStreamer development experience are not merged yet, but it’s
+already usable and a great improvement over using the plain C API from C++.
 
-    -   Generic data channel control mechanism for sending upstream events back to the sender (webrtcsink)
-
--   webrtcsrc now has support for multiple producers
+Various GStreamer examples can be found in Sebastian’s GStreamer peel examples repository.
 
 ## New elements and plugins
 
 -   Many exciting new Rust elements, see Rust section below.
 
--   webview2src: new Microsoft WebView2 based web browser source element
-
--   h264ccextractor, h264ccinserter: H.264 closed caption extractor / inserter
-
--   h265ccextractor, h265ccinserter: H.265 closed caption extractor / inserter
-
--   h266parse
-
--   lcevch264decodebin
+-   New D3D12 interlace, overlay compositor, fish eye dewarp and uv coordinate remapping elements
 
--   New VA elements (see below): vah266dec, vavp8enc, vajpegenc, vavp8alphadecodebin, vavp9alphadecodebin
+-   VMAF: New element to calculate perceptual video quality assessment scores using Netflix’s VMAF framework
 
--   svtjpegxsdec, svtjpegxsenc: SVT JPEG XS decoder/encoder
+-   Webkit: New wpe2 plugin that makes use of the “WPE Platform API” with support for rendering into GL and SHM buffers and
+    navigation events (but not audio yet).
 
--   Many other new elements mentioned in other sections (e.g. CUDA, NVCODEC, etc.)
+-   Many other new elements mentioned in other sections (e.g. CUDA, NVCODEC, D3D12, Speech, AMD HIP, Rust etc.)
 
 ## New element features and additions
 
--   audioconvert enhancements:
+-   The AWS S3 sink and source elements now support S3 compatible URI schemes.
 
-    -   Add possibility to reorder input channels when audioconvert has unpositionned audio channels as input. It can now use
-        reordering configurations to automatically position those channels via the new "input-channels-reorder" and
-        "input-channels-reorder-mode" properties.
+-   clocksync: new “rate” property and “resync” action signal so that clocksync can synchronise buffer running time against the
+    pipeline clock with a specified rate factor. This can be useful if one wants to throttle pipeline throughput such as e.g. in
+    a non-realtime transcoding pipeline where the pipeline’s CPU and/or hardware resource consumption needs to be limited.
 
-    -   Better handling of setting of the mix matrix at run time
+-   fallbacksrc is able to support encoded outputs now, not just uncompressed audio/video. As part of this it supports stream
+    selection via the GstStream API now.
 
-    -   handles new GstRequestMixMatrix custom upstream event
+-   h265parse now automatically inserts AUDs where needed if it outputs byte-stream format, which helps fix decoding artefacts
+    for multi-slice HEVC streams with some hardware decoders.
 
--   audiorate: Take the tolerance into account when filling gaps; better accounting of the number of samples added or dropped.
+-   input-selector now implements a two-phase sinkpad switch to avoid races when switching input pads. Extensive tests have been
+    added to avoid regressions.
 
--   av1enc: Add "timebase" property to allow configuring a specific time base, in line with what exists for vp8enc and vp9enc
-    already.
+-   The inter plugin wormhole sink and source elements for sending data between pipelines within the same application process
+    gained new properties to fine tune the inner elements. intersrc can now also be configured to forward upstream events to the
+    producer pipeline via the new “event-types” property.
 
--   av1parse can parse annexb streams now, and typefinding support has been added for annexb streams as well.
+-   The quinn plugin supports sharing of the QUIC/WebTransport connection/session with an element upstream or downstream. This
+    is required for supporting Media over QUIC (MoQ) later, for which an MR is already pending.
 
--   The GTK3 plugin has gained support for OpenGL/WGL on Windows
+-   replaygain will use EBU-R128 gain tags now if available.
 
--   fdsrc has a new "is-live" property to make it act like a live source and timestamp the received data with the clock running
-    time.
+-   threadshare: many improvements to the various threadshare elements, plus examples and a new benchmark program. The plugin
+    was also relicensed to MPL-2.0.
 
--   imagefreeze: Add support for JPEG and PNG
+-   The unixfdsink element for zero-copy 1:N IPC on Linux can now also copy the input data if needed, which makes it usable with
+    more upstream elements. Before it would only work with elements that made use of the special memory allocator it advertised.
+    This (copy if needed) is enabled by default, but can be disabled by setting the new “min-memory-size” property to -1.
 
--   kmssink: Extended the functionality to support buffers with DRM formats along with non-linear buffers
+    There’s also a new “num-clients” property that gets notified when the number of clients (unixfdsrc elements tapping the same
+    unixfdsink) changes.
 
--   pitch now supports reverse playback
+-   videorate and imagefreeze now also support JPEG XS.
 
--   queue can emit the notify signal on queue level changes if the "notify-levels" property has been set.
+-   videorate’s formerly defunct “new-pref” property was revived for better control which frame to prefer for output in case of
+    caps changes.
 
--   qroverlay: the "pixel-size" property has been removed in favour of a new "size" property with slightly different semantics,
-    where the size of the square is expressed in percent of the smallest of width and height.
+## Plugin and library moves and renames
 
--   rsvgdec: Negotiate resolution with downstream and scale accordingly
+-   The y4mdec plugin moved from gst-plugins-bad into gst-plugins-good and was merged with the existing y4menc there into a
+    single y4m plugin containing both a YUV4MPEG encoder and decoder.
 
--   rtmp2: server authentication improvements
+-   The fmp4 and mp4 plugins in the Rust plugins set were merged into a single isobmff plugin.
 
-    -   Mimic librtmp’s behaviour and support additional connection parameters for the connect packet, which are commonly used
-        for authentication, via the new "extra-connect-args" property.
+## Plugin and element deprecations
 
-    -   Add support for Limelight CDN (llnw) authentication
+-   The old librtmp-based rtmpsrc and rtmpsink elements are deprecated are scheduled for removal in the next release cycle. Use
+    the rtmp2src and rtmp2sink elements instead (which will likely also be registered under the old names after removal of the
+    old rtmp plugin).
 
--   scaletempo has gained support for a “fit-down” mode: In fit-down mode only 1.0 rates are supported, and the element will fit
-    audio data in buffers to their advertised duration. This is useful in speech synthesis cases, where elements such as
-    awspolly will generate audio data from text, and assign the duration of the input text buffers to their output buffers.
-    Translated or synthesised audio might be longer than the original inputs, so this makes sure the audio will be sped up to
-    fit the original duration, so it doesn’t go out of sync.
+-   Deprecate the webrtchttp plugin in the Rust plugins set along with its whipsink and whepsrc elements, in favour of the
+    whipclientsink and whepclientsrc elements from the webrtc plugin in the Rust plugins set.
 
--   souphttpsrc: Add the notion of "retry-backoff" and retry on 503 (service unavailable) and 500 (internal server error) http
-    errors.
+-   The libmpeg2-based mpeg2dec element is deprecated and scheduled for removal in the next release cycle, as libmpeg2 has been
+    unmaintained for a very long time. The libavcodec-based decoder has had a higher rank for many years already and is also
+    more performant. We would recommend that distros that also ship the FFmpeg-based decoder out of the box stop shipping the
+    mpeg2dec plugin now or reduce its rank to GST_RANK_NONE.
 
--   taginject now modifies existing tag events of the selected scope, with the new "merge-mode" property allowing finer control.
-
--   timecodestamper gained a new running-time source mode that converts the buffer running time into timecodes.
-
--   playbin3, uridecodebin3, parsebin
-
-    -   lots of stream-collection handling and stability/reliability fixes
-    -   error/warning/info message now include the URI (if known) and stream-id
-    -   missing plugin messages include the stream-id
-
--   videocodectestsink gained support for GBR_10LE, GRAY8 and GRAY10_LE{16,32} pixel formats
-
--   videoflip gained support for the Y444_16LE and Y444_16BE pixel formats
+## Plugin and element removals
 
--   videoconvertscale:
+-   The cc708overlay element has been removed. It is replaced by the cea708overlay element from the rsclosedcaption plugin in
+    the Rust plugins module.
 
-    -   Handle pixel aspect ratios with large numerators or denominators
-    -   Explicitly handle the overlaycomposition meta caps feature, so it doesn’t get dropped unnecessarily
+-   Drop registration of rusotos3src and rusotos3sink in the AWS plugin in the Rust plugins set. These were legacy names that
+    were renamed to awss3src and awss3sink in 2022, but had been kept around for a while so applications had time to move to the
+    new name space.
 
--   waylandsink prefers DMABuf over system memory now
+## Miscellaneous API additions
 
--   x264enc has a new "nal-hrd" property to make the encoder signal HRD information, which is required for Blu-ray streams,
-    television broadcast and a few other specialist areas. It can also be used to force true CBR, and will cause the encoder to
-    output null padding packets.
+### GStreamer Core
 
--   zbar: add support for binary mode and getting symbols as raw bytes instead of a text string.
+-   gst_call_async() and gst_object_call_async() are more generic and convenient replacements for gst_element_call_async()
 
-## Plugin and library moves
+-   gst_check_version() is a new convenience function to check for a minimum GStreamer core version at runtime.
 
--   macOS: atdec was moved from the applemedia plugin in -bad to the osxaudio plugin in -good, in order to be able to share
-    audio-related helper methods.
+-   GstClock: Add gst_clock_is_system_monotonic() utility function
 
-## Plugin and element removals
+-   GstController: gst_timed_value_control_source_list_control_points() is a thread-safe method to retrieve the list of control
+    points, replacing gst_timed_value_control_source_get_all().
 
--   None in this cycle
+-   GstCpuId: gst_cpuid_supports_x86_avx() and friends can be used to check which SIMD instruction sets are supported on the
+    current machine’s CPU without relying on liborc for that. This is useful for plugins that rely on an external library that
+    wants to be told which SIMD code paths to use.
 
-## Miscellaneous API additions
+-   gst_object_get_toplevel() can be used to get the toplevel parent of an object, e.g. the pipeline an element is in.
 
-### GStreamer Core
+-   New API for tensor caps descriptions:
 
--   gst_meta_api_type_set_params_aggregator() allows setting an GstAllocationMetaParamsAggregator function for metas, which has
-    been implemented for GstVideoMeta and is used to aggregate alignment requirements of multiple tee branches.
+    -   GstUniqueList is a new unordered, unique container value type for GValues similar to GstValueList but guaranteed to have
+        unique values. Can only be queried and manipulated via the gst_value_* API same as GstValueList and GstValueArray.
 
--   gst_debug_print_object() and gst_debug_print_segment() have been made public API. The can be used to easily get string
-    representations of various types of (mini)objects in custom log handlers.
+    -   gst_structure_get_caps() gets a GstCaps from a structure
 
--   Added gst_aggregator_push_src_event(), so subclasses don’t just push events directly onto the source pad bypassing the base
-    class without giving it the chance to send out any pending serialised events that should be sent out before.
+-   More accessor functions for GstPadProbeInfo fields and the GstMapInfo data field, as well as a generic gst_map_info_clear()
+    which is useful for language bindings.
 
--   GstMessage has gained APIs to generically add “details” to messages:
+-   New EBU-R128 variants of the replay gain tags: GST_TAG_TRACK_GAIN_R128 and GST_TAG_ALBUM_GAIN_R128
 
-    -   gst_message_set_details()
-    -   gst_message_get_details()
-    -   gst_message_writable_details()
-    -   gst_message_parse_error_writable_details()
-    -   gst_message_parse_warning_writable_details()
-    -   gst_message_parse_info_writable_details() This is used in uridecodebin3 to add the triggering URI to any INFO, WARNING
-        or ERROR messages posted on the bus, and in decodebin3 to add the stream ID to any missing plugin messages posted on the
-        bus.
+-   GstReferenceTimestampMeta: additional information about the timestamp can be provided via the new optional info
+    GstStructure. This should only be used for information about the timestamp and not for information about the clock source.
+    This is used in an implementation of the TAI timestamp functionality described in ISO/IEC 23001-17 Amendment 1 in the Rust
+    MP4 muxer.
 
--   gst_util_floor_log2() returns smallest integral value not bigger than log2(v).
+-   GstValue: add gst_value_hash() and support 0b / 0B prefix for bitmasks when deserialising.
 
--   gst_util_fraction_multiply_int64() is a 64-bit variant of gst_util_fraction_multiply().
+-   Add missing _take() and _steal() functions for some mini objects:
 
-#### GstIdStr replaces GQuark in structure and caps APIs
+    -   gst_buffer_take(), gst_buffer_steal()
+    -   gst_buffer_list_steal()
+    -   gst_caps_steal()
+    -   gst_memory_take(), gst_memory_replace(), gst_memory_steal()
+    -   gst_message_steal()
+    -   gst_query_steal()
 
--   GQuarks are integer identifiers for strings that are inserted into a global hash table, allowing in theory for cheap
-    equality comparisons. In GStreamer they have been used to represent GstStructure names and field names. The problem is that
-    these strings once added to the global string table can never be freed again, which can lead to ever-increasing memory usage
-    for processes where such name identifiers are created based on external input or on locally-created random identifiers.
+-   GstElement: Deprecate gst_element_state_*() API and provide gst_state_*() replacements with the right namespace
 
--   GstIdStr is a new data structure made to replace quarks in our APIs. It can hold a short string inline, a static string, or
-    a reference to a heap-allocated longer string, and allows for cheap storage of short strings and cheap comparisons. It does
-    not involve access to a global hash table protected by a global lock, and as most strings used in GStreamer structures are
-    very short, it is actually more performant than quarks in many scenarios.
+#### GstMetaFactory to dynamically register metas
 
--   GQuark-using APIs in GstStructure or GstCaps have been deprecated and equivalent APIs using GstIdStr have been added
-    instead. For more details about this change watch Sebastian’s GStreamer Conference presentation “GQuark in GStreamer
-    structures - what nonsense!”.
+-   gst_meta_factory_register() allows to dynamically register metas and store them in the registry by name. This is useful in
+    combination with the GstMeta serialisation and deserialisation functionality introduced in GStreamer 1.24, for metas that
+    are not provided by GStreamer core. If an element comes across a meta name that is not registered yet with GStreamer, it can
+    check the registry and load the right plugin which will in turn register the meta with GStreamer. This is similar to how
+    flag and enum types can be stored in the registry so that if during caps deserialisation an unknown enum or flag type is
+    encountered, it can be loaded dynamically and registered with the type system before deserialisation continues.
 
--   Most applications and plugins will have been using the plain string-based APIs which are not affected by this change.
+    The pbtypes plugin in gst-plugins-base registers GstAudioMeta and GstVideoMeta in the registry so that e.g. unixfdsrc and
+    other elements can make sure they get pulled in and registered with GStreamer before deserialising them.
 
-#### GstVecDeque
+### App Sink and Source Library
 
--   Moved GstQueueArray as GstVecDeque into core for use in GstBus, the ringbuffer logger and in GstBufferPool, where an overly
-    complicated signaling mechanism using GstAtomicQueue and GstPoll was replaced with GstVecDeque and a simple mutex/cond.
-
--   GstQueueArray in libgstbase was deprecated in favour of GstVecDeque.
-
--   GstAtomicQueue will be deprecated once all users in GStreamer have been moved over to GstVecDeque.
+-   appsrc and appsink gained support for a more bindings-friendly “simple callbacks” API that can be used instead of GObject
+    signals (which have considerable overhead) or the normal callbacks API (which couldn’t be used from most bindings).
 
 ### Audio Library
 
--   Added gst_audio_reorder_channels_with_reorder_map() which allows reordering the samples with a pre-calculated reorder map
-    instead of re-calculating the reorder map every time.
-
--   Add top-surround-left and top-surround-right channel positions
-
--   GstAudioConverter now supports more numerical types for the mix matrix, namely double, int, int64, uint, and uint64 in
-    addition to plain floats.
+-   added support for 20-bit PCM audio stored in 32-bit containers, both signed (S20_32) and unsigned (U20_32), each in
+    little-endian and big-endian variants.
 
 ### Plugins Base Utils Library
 
--   New AV1 caps utility functions for AV1 Codec Configuration Record codec_data handling
-
--   The GstEncodingProfile (de)serialization functions are now public
-
--   GstEncodingProfile gained a way to specify a factory-name when specifying caps. In some cases you want to ensure that a
-    specific element factory is used while requiring some specific caps, but this was not possible so far. You can now do
-    e.g. qtmux:video/x-prores,variant=standard|factory-name=avenc_prores_ks to ensure that the avenc_prores_ks factory is used
-    to produce the variant of prores video stream.
+-   Many minor improvements.
 
 ### Tag Library
 
--   EXIF handling now support the CAPTURING_LIGHT_SOURCE tag
-
--   Vorbis tag handling gained support for the LYRICS tag
+-   Vorbis comments: parse EBU R128 tags
 
 ### Video Library and OpenGL Library
 
--   gst_video_convert_sample(), gst_video_convert_sample_async() gained support for D3D12 conversion.
-
--   GstVideoEncoder: gst_video_encoder_release_frame() and gst_video_encoder_drop_frame() have been made available as public
-    API.
-
--   Navigation: gained mouse double click event support
-
--   Video element QoS handling was improved so as to not overshoot the QoS earliest time by a factor of 2. This was fixed in the
-    video decoder, encoder, aggregator and audiovisualizer base classes, as well as in the adaptivedemux, deinterlace,
-    monoscope, shapewipe, and (old) videomixer elements.
-
--   GstVideoConverter gained fast paths for v210 to/from I420_10 / I422_10
+-   Add DRM equivalents for various 10/12/16 bit SW-decoders formats
 
--   New gst_video_dma_drm_format_from_gst_format() helper function that converts a video format into a dma drm fourcc / modifier
-    pair, plus gst_video_dma_drm_format_to_gst_format() which will do the reverse.
-
--   In the same vein gst_gl_dma_buf_transform_gst_formats_to_drm_formats() and
-    gst_gl_dma_buf_transform_drm_formats_to_gst_formats() have been added to the GStreamer OpenGL support library.
-
--   GLDisplay/EGL: Add API (gst_gl_display_egl_set_foreign()) for overriding foreign-ness of the EGLDisplay in order to control
-    whether GStreamer should call eglTerminate() or not.
-
--   Additional DMA DRM format definitions/mappings:
-
-    -   NV15, NV20, NV30
-    -   NV12_16L32S, MT2110T, MT2110R as used on Meditek SoCs
-    -   NV12_10LE40
-    -   RGB15, GRAY8, GRAY16_LE, GRAY16_BE
-    -   plus support for big endian DRM formats and DRM vendor modifiers
+-   New GstVideoMetaTransformMatrix that adds crop, scale, rotate, flip, shear and more meta transformations. The current
+    “scaling” transformation doesn’t work if either the input buffer is cropped or if any kinds of borders are added. And it
+    completely falls down with more complex transformations like compositor.
+
+-   GstVideoOverlayCompositionMeta: handling of multiple video overlay composition metas on a single buffer has been fixed in
+    lots of places (overlays and sinks). Many elements assumed there would only ever be a single overlay composition meta per
+    buffer. For that reason gst_buffer_get_video_overlay_composition_meta() has been deprecated, so that elements have to
+    iterate over the metas and handle multiple occurences of it.
 
 New Raw Video Formats
 
--   Packed 4:2:2 YUV with 16 bits per channel:
-    -   Y216_LE, Y216_BE
--   Packed 4:4:4:4 YUV with alpha, with 16 bits per channel:
-    -   Y416_LE, Y416_BE
--   10-bit grayscale, packed into 16-bit words with left padding:
-    -   GRAY10_LE16
+-   Add more 10bit RGB formats commonly used on ARM SoCs in GStreamer Video, OpenGL and Wayland, as well as in deinterlace and
+    gdkpixbufoverlay:
+    -   BGR10x2_LE: packed 4:4:4 RGB (B-G-R-x), 10 bits for R/G/B channel and MSB 2 bits for padding
+    -   RGB10x2_LE: packed 4:4:4 RGB (R-G-B-x), 10 bits for R/G/B channel and MSB 2 bits for padding
+-   Add 10-bit 4:2:2 NV16_10LE40 format, which is a fully-packed variant of NV16_10LE32 and also known as NV20 and is produced
+    by Rockchip rkvdec decoders.
 
 ### GstPlay Library
 
--   Add stream-id based selection of streams to better match playbin3’s API:
-    -   Add accessors for the stream ID and selection API based on the stream ID:
-        -   gst_play_stream_info_get_stream_id()
-        -   gst_play_set_audio_track_id()
-        -   gst_play_set_video_track_id()
-        -   gst_play_set_subtitle_track_id()
-        -   gst_play_set_track_ids()
-    -   Deprecate the old index-based APIs:
-        -   gst_play_stream_info_get_index()
-        -   gst_play_set_audio_track()
-        -   gst_play_set_video_track()
-        -   gst_play_set_subtitle_track()
-    -   Remove old playbin support
-    -   Implement the track enable API based on stream selection
--   Distinguish missing plugin errors and include more details (uri, and stream-id if available) in error/warning messages:
-    -   gst_play_message_get_uri()
-    -   gst_play_message_get_stream_id()
-    -   GST_PLAY_ERROR_MISSING_PLUGIN
-    -   gst_play_message_parse_error_missing_plugin()
-    -   gst_play_message_parse_warning_missing_plugin()
--   Improve play message API inconsistencies:
-    -   Consistently name parse functions according to their message type:
-        -   gst_play_message_parse_duration_changed()
-        -   gst_play_message_parse_buffering()
-    -   Deprecate the misnamed functions:
-        -   gst_play_message_parse_duration_updated()
-        -   gst_play_message_parse_buffering_percent()
-    -   Add missing parse functions:
-        -   gst_play_message_parse_uri_loaded()
-        -   gst_play_message_parse_seek_done()
--   Support disabling the selected track at startup
+-   GstPlay: Add support for gapless looping
 
 ## Miscellaneous performance, latency and memory optimisations
 
--   dvdspu: use multiple minimal sized PGS overlay rectangles instead of a single large one to minimise the total blitting
-    surface in case of disjointed rectangles.
+-   New task pool GstContext to share a thread pool amongst elements in a pipeline for better resource management and
+    performance, especially for video conversion and compositing. This is currently only made use of automatically in the
+    GStreamer Editing Services library.
+
+-   glupload: Implement udmabuf uploader to share buffers between software decoders/sources and GPUs, display engines (wayland),
+    and other dma devices (see above).
+
+-   GstDeviceMonitor now starts device providers in a separate thread. This avoids blocking the application when
+    gst_device_monitor_start() is called, which avoids each app having to spawn a separate thread just to start device
+    monitoring. This is especially important on Windows, where device probing can take several seconds or on macOS where device
+    access can block on user input. A new GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE_MONITOR_STARTED is posted on the bus to signal to the application
+    that the device monitor has completed its async startup.
 
--   video-frame: reduce number of memcpy() calls on frame copies if possible
+-   On Windows audioresample now has SIMD optimisations enabled also for the MSVC build.
 
--   video-converter: added fast path conversions between v210 and I420_10 / I422_10
+-   audiomixmatrix / audioconvert: sparse matrix LUT optimisation which uses precomputed LUTs for non-zero coefficients instead
+    of blindly traversing all input/output channel combinations.
 
 -   As always there have been plenty of performance, latency and memory optimisations all over the place.
 
 ## Miscellaneous other changes and enhancements
 
--   netclientclock: now also emits the clock synced signal when corrupted to signal that sync has been lost.
+-   The ALSA device provider now supports enumerating virtual PCM sinks
 
--   GstValue, GstStructure: can now (de)serialize string arrays (G_TYPE_STRV)
+-   The ASIO device monitor can now detect dynamically added and removed devices by monitoring USB events.
 
 ## Tracing framework and debugging improvements
 
--   dot files (pipeline graph dumps) are now written to disk atomically
-
--   tracing: add hooks for gst_pad_send_event_unchecked() and GstMemory init/free
+-   There are new hooks to track when buffers are queued or dequeued from buffer pools in the tracing system.
 
--   tracers: Simplify params handling using GstStructure and object properties and move tracers over to property-based
-    configuration (leaks, latency).
+-   The pad-push-timings tracer gained a new “write-log” action signal
 
--   textoverlay, clockoverlay, timeoverlay: new "response-time-compensation" property that makes the element render the text or
-    timestamp twice: Once in the normal location and once in a different sequentially predictable location for every frame. This
-    is useful when measuring video latency by taking a photo with a camera of two screens showing the test video overlayed with
-    timeoverlay or clockoverlay. In these cases, you will often see ghosting if the display’s pixel response time is not great,
-    which makes it difficult to discern what the current timestamp being shown is. Rendering in a different location for each
-    frame makes it easy to tell what the latest timestamp is. In addition, you can also use the fade-time of the previous frame
-    to measure with sub-framerate accuracy when the photo was taken, not just clamped to the framerate, giving you a higher
-    precision latency value.
+Dot tracer/viewer
 
-New tracers
+-   Enhanced dots-viewer: Major refactoring with modular JavaScript architecture, bundled dependencies (no more CDN), clickable
+    pipeline references for navigation between related dot files, download SVG button, and improved UI/UX with better text
+    handling and zoom fixes.
 
--   memory-tracer: New tracer that can track memory usage over time
+Dot file pipeline graphs
 
--   pad-push-timings: New tracer for tracing pad push timings
+-   Dot file dumps of pipeline graphs now show the list of active tracers at the bottom along with the tracer configuration.
 
--   pcap-writer: New tracer that can store the buffers flowing through a pad as PCAP file
+Debug logging system improvements
 
-Dot tracer/viewer
+GstLogContext to fine-tune logging output and reduce log message spam
 
--   New dots tracer that simplifies the pipeline visualization workflow:
-    -   Automatically configures dot file directory and cleanup
-    -   Integrates with the pipeline-snapshotS tracer to allow dumping pipeline on demand from the gst-dots-viewer web interface
-    -   Uses GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR or falls back to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/gstreamer-dots
--   New gst-dots-viewer web tool for real-time pipeline visualization
-    -   Provides interface to browse and visualize pipeline dot files
-    -   Features on-demand pipeline snapshots via “Dump Pipelines” button
-    -   WebSocket integration for live updates
-    -   Uses GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR or falls back to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/gstreamer-dots
--   Simple usage:
-    -   gst-dots-viewer (starts server)
-    -   GST_TRACERS=dots gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! autovideosink (runs with tracer)
-    -   View at http://localhost:3000
+-   GstLogContext is a new API to control logging behavior, particularly for implementing “log once” functionality and periodic
+    logging. This helps avoid spamming logs with repetitive messages. This comes with a whole suite of new GST_CTX_* debug log
+    macros that take a context argument in addition to the usual arguments.
 
-Debug logging system improvements
+-   A number of GST_{MEMDUMP,TRACE,LOG,DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}_ONCE convenience macros for logging something only once.
 
--   Nothing major in this cycle.
+-   The source code of elements and plugins has to be updated to make use of this new feature, so if there are any particular
+    log messages in certain elements that you feel are particularly spammy, please feel free to file an issue in GitLab so we
+    can see if it would make sense to use the new API there.
 
 ## Tools
 
--   gst-inspect-1.0 documents tracer properties now and shows element flags
-
--   gst-launch-1.0 will show error messages posted during pipeline construction
+-   gst-inspect-1.0 now shows the type of each field when it prints caps and also pretty-prints tensor caps.
 
 ## GStreamer FFmpeg wrapper
 
--   Add support for H.266/VVC decoder
-
--   Add mappings for the Hap video codec, the Quite OK Image codec (QOI) and the M101 Matrox uncompressed SD video codec.
-
--   Don’t register elements for which we have no caps and which were non-functional as a result (showing unknown/unknown caps).
-
--   The S302M audio encoder now supports up to 8 channels.
-
--   Various tag handling improvements in the avdemux wrappers, especially when there are both upstream tags and additional local
-    tags.
-
--   Support for 10-bit grayscale formats
+-   The avdec video decoders have seen many improvements and fixes for their buffer pool and allocation query handling.
 
 ## GStreamer RTSP server
 
--   GstRTSPOnvifMediaFactoryClass gained a ::create_backchannel_stream() vfunc. This allows subclasses to delay creation of the
-    backchannel to later in the sequence, which is useful in scenarios where the RTSP server acts as a relay and the supported
-    caps depend on the upstream camera, for example.
+-   rtsp-client: Add a “pre-closed” signal which provides a way for an application to be notified when a connection is closed,
+    before the client’s sessions are cleaned up. This is useful when a client terminates its session improperly, for example, by
+    sending a TCP RST.
+
+-   rtsp-stream-transport: expose new “timed-out” property. Upon RTCP timeout, rtpsession emits a signal that we can catch and
+    then also expose the timed out state a property of the transport in order for users (such as rtspclientsink) to get notified
+    about it.
 
--   The ONVIF backchannel example now features support for different codecs, including AAC.
+-   rtspclientsink now errors out on timeout.
 
 ## VA-API integration
 
-VA plugin
-
--   New VA elements:
-
-    -   H.266 / VVC video decoder
-    -   VP8 video encoder
-    -   JPEG encoder
-    -   VP9 + VP8 alpha decodebin
-
-    Remember that the availability of these elements depends on your platform and driver.
-
--   There are a lot of improvements and bug fixes, to hightlight some of them:
-
-    -   Improved B pyramid mode for both H264 and HEVC encoding when reference frame count exceeds 2, optimizing pyramid level
-        handling.
-    -   Enabled ICQ and QVBR modes for several encoders, including H264, H265, VP9 and AV1.
-    -   Updated rate control features by setting the quality factor parameter, while improving bitrate change handling.
-    -   Improved VP9 encoder’s ability to avoid reopening or renegotiating encoder settings when parameters remain stable.
-    -   Added functionality to adjust the trellis parameter in encoders.
-    -   Optimize encoders throughput with the introduction of output delay.
-    -   Added support for new interpolation methods for scaling and improvements for handling interlace modes.

+## GStreamer Editing Services and NLE
 
--   The V4L2 stateful encoders can now handle dynamic frame rates (0/1), and colorimetry negotiation was also improved.
+-   Task Pool Context Support: GESPipeline now supports task pool context handling for better resource management. It
+    automatically creates and manages a GstSharedTaskPool with threads set to the number of processors, also allowing
+    applications to provide their own shared task pool via context negotiation.
 
-## GStreamer Editing Services and NLE
+-   MT-Safe Controller API: New gst_timed_value_control_source_list_control_points() function provides thread-safe access to

+    dynamic adjustment of layer stacking order during timeline editing.
 
--   Added support for transition in the ges-launch-1.0 timeline description format
+-   Clip Layer Movement Detection: New ges_clip_is_moving_between_layers() API distinguishes actual layer moves from other
+    operations like split/ungroup, with separate flags for track element freezing and layer movement.
 
--   Added support for GstContext sharing in GESTimeline
+-   GES Error Domain: Added ges_error_quark() function for proper GError domain support, enabling automatic ErrorDomain
+    implementation generation in language bindings.
 
--   Added basic support for duplicated children property in GESTimelineElement
+-   Timeline Error Reporting: Added GError parameter to ges_base_bin_set_timeline() for proper error reporting when timeline
+    setup fails.
 
--   validate: Add an action type to group clips

--   In the near future, CMake in Xcode will be the preferred way of building the iOS tutorials. See below, in the Cerbero
-    section.
+    -   added a “last-rendered-sample” action signal to retrieve the last rendered frame
+    -   added “uv-remap” and “redraw” action signals
 
-### Windows
+#### Windows inter process communication
 
--   webview2src: new Microsoft WebView2 based web browser source element
+-   The Windows IPC plugin gained support for passing generic data in addition to raw audio/video, and various new properties.
+    It also serialises metas now where that is supported.
 
--   The mediafoundation plugin can also be built with MinGW now.
+#### Windows audio
 
--   The GTK3 plugin has gained support for OpenGL/WGL on Windows
+-   wasapi2: add support for dynamic audio device switching, exclusive mode and format negotiation, in addition to device
+    provider improvements and latency enhancements.
 
--   qsv: Add support for d3d12 interop in encoder, via D3D11 textures
+-   Disable all audio device providers except wasapi2 by default (by setting the others’ rank to NONE). We had too many device
+    providers outputting duplicate device entries, and it wasn’t clear to people what they should be using. After the recent
+    device switching work done on WASAPI2, there is no reason to use directsound anymore.
 
 ### Cerbero
 
 Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies on platforms where dependencies are not readily
-available, such as Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS.
+available, such as Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS. It is also used to create the GStreamer Python Wheels.
 
 General improvements
 
 -   New features:
 
-    -   Python bindings support has been re-introduced and now supports Linux, Windows (MSVC) and macOS. Simply downloading the
-        official binaries and setting PYTHONPATH to the appropriate directory is sufficient.
-
-        -   This should make it easier for macOS and Windows users to use Python libraries, frameworks, and projects that use
-            GStreamer such as Pitivi and gst-python-ml.
-
-    -   Introspection support has been re-introduced on Linux, Windows (MSVC), and macOS.
-
-    -   New variants assert and checks to disable GLib assertions and runtime checks for performance reasons. Please note that
-        these are not recommended because they have significant behavioural side-effects, make debugging harder, and should only
-        be enabled when targeting extremely resource-constrained platforms.
+    -   Support for generating Python wheels for macOS and Windows
+        -   These will be uploaded to PyPI, currently blocked on PyPI
+    -   Support for iPhone Simulator on ARM64 macOS, via the new iOS xcframework
+    -   Inno Setup is now used for Windows installers, which also bundle the MSVC runtime
+    -   An installer is now shipped for Windows ARM64, built using MSVC
+    -   GTK4 is now shipped on macOS and Windows (MSVC and MinGW)
+    -   Smaller binary sizes of Rust plugins on all platforms except macOS and iOS
+    -   Linux builds now integrate better with system dependencies
+    -   Debuginfo is now correctly shipped on Windows and macOS
 
 -   API/ABI changes:
 
-    -   Libsoup has been upgraded from 2.74 to 3.6, which is an API and ABI breaking change. The soup and adaptivedemux2 plugins
-        are unchanged, but your applications may need updating since libsoup-2.4 and libsoup-3.0 cannot co-exist in the same
-        process.
-
-    -   OpenSSL has been updated from 1.1.1 to 3.4, which is an ABI and API breaking change. Plugins are unchanged, but your
-        applications may need updating.
+    -   Android NDK r25 is now used, targeting API level 24 (Android 7.0)
+    -   Merge modules are no longer shipped for Windows
+    -   Windows installers are no longer MSIs
+    -   The legacy iOS framework with iPhone ARM64 and iPhoneSimulator x86_64 binaries is now deprecated. It will be removed in
+        the next release. Please use the new iOS xcframework which supports iPhone ARM64 and iPhoneSimulator ARM64+x86_64.

 -   Plugins changed:
 
-    -   The rsvg plugin now uses librsvg written in Rust. The only side-effects of this should be better SVG rendering and
-        slightly larger plugin size.
-
-    -   The webrtc Rust plugin now also supports aws and livekit integrations .
-
--   Plugins removed:
-
-    -   webrtc-audio-processing has been updated to 2.0, which means the isac plugin is no longer shipped.
+    -   mp4 and fmp4 plugins have been merged into isobmff
 
 -   Development improvements:
 
-    -   Support for the shell command has been added to cross-macos-universal, since the prefix is executable despite being a
-        cross-compile target
+    -   Debuginfo is now correctly shipped on Windows and macOS
+    -   Support for iPhone Simulator on ARM64 macOS, via the new iOS xcframework
 
-    -   More recipes have been ported away from Autotools to Meson and CMake, speeding up the build and increasing platform
-        support.
+-   Known issues:
 
-#### macOS
+    -   cerbero: Rust plugins fail to link with Xcode 26 on macOS
+    -   cerbero: Rust plugins are not shipped in the Windows ARM64 installer
+    -   cerbero: Android devices with API level >= 30 cannot play tutorials 4 or 5 – Fix aimed for 1.28.1
+    -   cerbero: Missing pkg-config for macOS in the Android release
 
--   Python bindings support on macOS only supports using the Xcode-provided Python 3
-
--   MoltenVK support in the applemedia plugin now also works on arm64 when doing a cross-universal build.
-
-#### iOS
-
--   CMake inside Xcode will soon be the recommended way to consume GStreamer when building iOS apps, similar to Android apps.
-
-    -   FindGStreamerMobile.cmake is the recommended way to consume GStreamer now
-
-    -   Tutorials and examples still use Xcode project files, but CMake support will be the active focus going forward
-
-#### Windows
-
--   The minimum supported OS version is now Windows 10.
-
-    -   GStreamer itself can still be built for an older Windows, so if your project is majorly impacted by this, please open an
-        issue with details.
-
--   The Windows MSI installers are now based on WiX v5, with several improvements including a much faster MSI creation process,
-    improved naming in Add/Remove Programs, and more.
-
-    -   Windows installer packages: Starting with 1.26, due to security reasons, the default installation directory has changed
-        from C:\gstreamer to the Program Files folder, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\gstreamer for the 32-bit package on 64-bit
-        Windows. If you upgrade from 1.24 or older versions, the 1.26 installers will NOT keep using the existing folder.
-        Nevertheless if you were using C:\gstreamer we strongly recommend you double-check the install location.
-
-    -   Note for MSI packagers: Starting with 1.26, the installers were ported to WiX 5.0. As part of this, the property for
-        setting the installation directory has been changed to INSTALLDIR, and it now requires a full path to the desired
-        directory, e.g. C:\gstreamer instead of C:\.
-
-    -   Cross-MinGW build no longer supports the creation of MSIs. Please use tarballs.
-
--   MinGW:
-
-    -   MinGW toolchain has been updated from GCC 8.2 → 14.2 and MinGW 6.0 → 12.0
-
-    -   The mediafoundation plugin is also shipped in the MinGW packages now.
-
-    -   The d3d12 plugin is also shipped in the MinGW packages now.
-
-    -   Rust support has been enabled on MinGW 64-bit. Rust support cannot work on 32-bit MinGW due to differences in exception
-        handling between our 32-bit MinGW toolchain and that used by the Rust project
-
--   The asio plugin is shipped now, since it no longer has a build-time dependency on the ASIO SDK.
-
--   The new plugin webview2 is shipped with MSVC. It requires the relevant component shipped with Windows.
-
-#### Linux
-
--   Preliminary support for Alma Linux has been added.
-
--   RHEL distro support has been improved.
-
--   Cerbero CI now tests the build on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
-
--   curl is used for downloading sources on Fedora instead of wget, since they have moved to wget2 despite show-stopper
-    regressions such as returning a success error code on download failure.
-
-#### Android
-
--   CMake inside Gradle is now the recommended way to consume GStreamer when building Android apps
-
-    -   FindGStreamerMobile.cmake is the recommended way to consume GStreamer now
-
-    -   1.26 will support both CMake and Make inside Gradle, but the Make support will likely be removed in 1.28
+## Documentation improvements
 
-    -   Documentation updates are still a work-in-progress, help is appreciated
+-   Added a Windows section to “building from source” page
 
--   Android tutorials and examples are now built with gradle + cmake instead of gradle + make on the CI
+-   New Python tutorials for dynamic pipelines and time handling
 
-## Documentation improvements
+-   The Android tutorials were updated: provided projects were updated to Gradle 8.11 and API level 24
 
--   Tracer objects information is now included in the documentation
+-   Updates of the Machine Learning and Analytics design documentation and the GstMeta design docs
 
 ## Possibly Breaking Changes
 
--   qroverlay: the "pixel-size" property has been removed in favour of a new "size" property with slightly different semantics,
-    where the size of the square is expressed in percent of the smallest of width and height.
-
--   svtav1enc: The SVT-AV1 3.0.0 API exposes a different mechanism to configure the level of parallelism when encoding, which
-    has been exposed as a new "level-of-parallelism" property. The old "logical-processors" property is no longer functional if
-    the plugin has been compiled against the new API, which might affect encoder performance if application code setting it is
-    not updated.
-
--   udpsrc: now disables allocated port reuse for unicast to avoid unexpected side-effects of SO_REUSEADDR where the kernel
-    allocates the same listening port for multiple udpsrc.
+-   The MXF muxer and demuxer used to have direct support for standalone closed caption streams (closedcaption/x-cea-708) as
+    ancillary data, but that was removed in favour of more generic ST 2038 ancillary metadata which is a better fit for how the
+    data is stored internally and also supports generic ancillary metadata. Closed captions can still be stored or extracted by
+    using the ST 2038 elements from the Rust plugins module. Also see the MXF section above.
+
+-   Analytics: Previously it was guaranteed that there is only ever up to one GstTensorMeta per buffer. This is no longer true
+    and code working with GstTensorMeta must be able to handle multiple GstTensorMeta now (after this Merge Request, which was
+    apparently backported into 1.26 as well).
 
--   uridecodebin3 remove non-functional "source" property that doesn’t make sense and always returned NULL anyway.
+-   The thread ID reported in debug logs is no longer prefixed with a 0x on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD platforms. This change
+    can potentially break log parsers. GstDebugViewer was adapted accordingly.
 
 ## Known Issues
 
--   GstBuffer now uses C11 atomics for 64 bit atomic operations if available, which may require linking to libatomic on some
-    systems, but this is not done automatically yet, see issue #4177.
+-   There are some open issues with the Apple hardware-accelerated AV1 decoding, which we hope will be fixed in due course.
+    Please let us know if you run into them and can test patches.
+
+-   Autoplugging LCEVC H.264/H.265/H.266 streams is currently disabled until an issue with decodebin3 and non-LCEVC streams has
+    been resolved. It is still possible to re-enable this locally by overriding the rank of lcevch26*decodebin using the
+    GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK environment variable.
