+- Crashes in gst-libav with sinks that did not provide a buffer pool
+ but supported video metadata were fixed. This affected d3dvideosink
+ and some 3rd party sinks. Also related fixes for crashes when a downstream
+ buffer pool failed allocation.
+- Big GL performance improvement on iOS by a factor of 2 by using Apple's sync
+ extension.
+- Deadlocks in the DirectSound elements on Windows, and the behaviour of its
+ mute property were fixed.
+- The Direct3D video sink does not crash anymore when minimizing the window
+- The library soname generation on Android >= 6.0 was fixed, which previously
+ caused GStreamer to fail to load there.
+- File related elements have large-file (>2GB) support on Android now.
+- gst-libav was updated to ffmpeg 2.8.3.
+- Deserialization of custom events in the GDP depayloader was fixed.
+- Missing OpenGL context initialization in the Qt/QML video sink was fixed in
+ certain situations.
+- Interoperability with some broken RTSP servers using HTTP tunnel was
+ improved.
+- Various compilation fixes for Windows.
+- Various smaller memory leak and other fixes in different places.
