What's Changed

After thousands of hours cumulated, 373 commits added, 101 files modified over the past few months, Selkies-GStreamer is now a reborn project, showing matching latency and performance to commercial or field-leading open-source projects, with the help of countless community developers!

Over 16,000 lines added or removed, massive improvements to stream stability, elimination of client-side latency with RTP playout-delay extensions, portable package distributions for self-hosting, containers, Kubernetes, and HPC, all known code bugs fixed, new documentation.

All users are advised to update their bare-metal hosts or client web browsers and also rebuild all containers and GStreamer builds built before October 3. All containers built from past releases are affected by these vulnerabilities, but the release artifacts other than the GStreamer builds should generally be safe.
