- Added PACKAGECONFIG for all available options, most of them introduced
in this version. This will make the package's outcome more deterministic.
This release brings 142 commits with the largest developments in the core of
libcamera components. Perhaps the most obvious is that we now use C++20 for the
project. The Configuration file handling has had a substantial rework with
updates to the yaml_parser.
The RKISP1 IPA has now added a new Hue control which brought with it a rework
of how we manage fixed point arithmetic with the Quantized class. I hope this
makes it easier to convey types with hardware operations.
The SoftISP has the ability to perform CPU debaying with multiple threads which
helps throughput on platforms such as the Arduino Uno Q.
The Mali-C55 pipeline handler now has full support for the RZG2LCRU and inline
handling which enables camera support on the Renesas RZ/V2H and RZ/V2NP
platforms.
And of interest in the apps components, the gstreamer plugin now has the
ability to select and configure the sensor mode configuration properties.
Finally a new script "libcamera-bug-report" is available to be packaged which
will help users identify issues when reporting bugs.

- Drop merged pacth 0001-libcamera-Do-not-assume-libc-with-clang.patch.
- The v4l2 option "true" is deprecated and we should use "enabled".
- There is a new option "rpi-awb-nn", disabled for now, which requires
TensorFlow Lite.
- The GPU acceleration in the software ISP "SoftISP" for delivering
better performance and it becomes enabled when we have OpenGL.
This release brings 158 commits with substantial development on the SoftISP
components. This brings in GPU acceleration, allowing us to get higher
throughput for cameras using this pipeline. Further development to improve the
image quality is ongoing now that we can perform more processing in realtime.
The simple pipeline handler now supports exposing the Raw streams directly
allowing us to enable the SoftISP by default without removing access to the
camera formats.
Kernel headers have been updated to v6.18, supporting the new V4L2 ISP kernel
interface which allows us to continue improvements to hardware ISP pipelines as
we add new features.
Logging has been improved to better detect when to enable or disable color
output and can be controlled through the environment variable
LIBCAMERA_LOG_COLOR.
A new control is added for LensShadingCorrectionEnable to allow runtime control
over the LSC components where supported.
The gstreamer pipeline now has raw support added to the libcamerasrc
stream-role property allowing raw streams to be configured and accessed.
An exciting new AWB algorithm using Neural Networks, has been added to the
Raspberry Pi IPA following extensive development and training performed by the
Raspberry Pi Camera Team.
And finally, the Documentation now includes a support matrix which will help
identify the current support and enablement for platforms and sensors.

vimc:
Is a driver that emulates complex video hardware, and is
useful for testing libcamera without needing access to a physical
camera. We would like to add support to the libcamera vimc
pipeline handler for multiple simultaneous streams, to ease
testing of such mechanism. This also requires adding multistream
support to the vimc driver in the Linux kernel.
virtual:
Is a specialized handler designed to create software-based,
virtual camera devices. It allows for testing, debugging, and
simulating camera pipelines without needing physical hardware,
often producing test patterns (e.g., all green frames) via qcam.
This enables developers to emulate camera sensors and

WirePlumber 0.5.14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additions & Enhancements:
- Added per-device default volume configuration via the
``device.routes.default-{source,sink}-volume`` property, allowing device-specific volume
defaults (e.g. a comfortable default for internal speakers or no attenuation for HDMI) (!772)
- Added Lua 5.5 support; the bundled Lua subproject wrap has also been updated to 5.5.0
(!775, !788)
- Enhanced libcamera monitor to load camera nodes locally within the WirePlumber
process instead of the PipeWire daemon, eliminating race conditions that could occur
during initial enumeration and hotplug events (!790)
- Enhanced Bluetooth loopback nodes to always be created when a device supports both
A2DP and HSP/HFP profiles, simplifying the logic and making the BT profile autoswitch
setting take effect immediately without requiring device reconnection (!782)
- Enhanced Bluetooth loopback nodes to use ``target.object`` property instead of smart
filters, fixing issues that prevented users from setting them as default nodes and
also allowing smart filters to be used with them (#898; !792)
- Enhanced Bluetooth profile autoswitch logic with further robustness improvements,
including better headset profile detection using profile name patterns and resolving
race conditions by running profile switching after ``device/apply-profile`` in a
dedicated event hook (#926, #923; !776, !777, !808)
- Enhanced wpctl ``set-default`` command to accept virtual nodes (e.g.
``Audio/Source/Virtual``) in addition to regular device nodes (#896; !787)
- Improved stream linking to make the full graph rescan optional when linkable items
change, saving CPU on low-end systems and reducing audio startup latency when
connecting multiple streams in quick succession (!800)
- Allowed installation of systemd service units without libsystemd being present,
useful for distributions like Alpine Linux that allow systemd service subpackages
(!793)
- Allowed the ``mincore`` syscall in the WirePlumber systemd sandbox, required for
Mesa/EGL (e.g. for the libcamera GPUISP pipeline)
- Allowed passing ``WIREPLUMBER_CONFIG_DIR`` via the ``wp-uninstalled`` script,
useful for passing additional configuration paths in an uninstalled environment (!801)
Fixes:
- Removed Bluetooth sink loopback node, which was causing issues with KDE and GNOME (!794)
- Fixed default audio source selection to never automatically use ``Audio/Sink`` nodes
as the default source unless explicitly selected by the user (#886; !781)
- Fixed crash in ``state-stream`` when the Format parameter has a Choice for the
number of channels (#903; !795)
- Fixed BAP Bluetooth device set channel properties, where ``audio.position`` was
incorrectly serialized as a pointer address instead of the channel array (!786)
- Fixed memory leaks in ``wp_interest_event_hook_get_matching_event_types`` and in
the Lua ``LocalModule()`` implementation (!784, !810)
- Fixed HFP HF stream media class being incorrectly assigned due to
``api.bluez5.internal=true`` being set on HFP HF streams (!809)
- Fixed Lua 5.4 compatibility in ``state-stream`` script
- Updated translations: Bulgarian, Georgian, Kazakh, Swedish

Changelog:
1.21.2:
- build script for JS/WASM now supports building with JPEG2000
and "ISO23001-17 Uncompressed" support.
- image sequence SAI data now works when using the OpenH264 decoder plugin
1.21.1:
- This patch release only fixes a build error with some GCC versions
because of a missing #include.
1.21.0:
- CVE-2025-68431 fixed
- This release adds full support for reading and writing HEIF image sequences.
- libheif will now encode HEIF image sequences with all included codecs.
- Since HEIF image sequences are very similar to MP4 videos, this new version
is also capable of decoding most MP4 videos (without audio, of course).
- Support for image sequences with alpha channels. For most codecs, the alpha
channel will be stored in a separate, auxiliary, monochrome track. For
ISO/IEC 23001-17 (uncompressed) streams, the alpha channel is stored in
the main video track.
- Support for sequence track edit lists to define the number of sequence
repetitions (without actually repeating the video data).
- New encoder plugin using x264 to write H.264-compressed video streams and images.
- The FFmpeg decoder plugin will now decode both H.265 and H.264.
- Support for HEIF text items and language properties

Details: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-51442
The description of the vulnerability says "attacker [...] execute arbitrary
OS commands via a specially crafted minidlna.conf configuration file".
There is no official fix for this CVE, and upstream seems to be inactive
for the past 3 years.
The reason for ignoring this CVE is that the referenced minidlna.conf
file is in the /etc folder, and the file is not world-writable. Which
means that this vulnerability can be exploited only when someone is
root - but if the attacker is already root, they don't need to resort
to minidlna config-file modifications to execute any command they want.

PipeWire 1.6.0 (2026-02-19)
This is is the 1.6 release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
1.4.x releases.
This release contains some of the bigger changes that happened since
the 1.4 release last year, including:
* An LDAC decoder was added for bluetooth.
* SpanDSP for bluetooth packet loss concealment.
* Safe parsing and building of PODs in shared memory.
* Added support for metadata features. This is used to signal that
the sync_timeline metadata supports the RELEASE operation.
* Node commands and events can contain extra user data.
* Support for more compressed format helper functions to create
and parse formats.
* Support for compile time max channels. The max channels was
increased to 128.
* Support for audio channel layouts was added. This makes it possible
to set "audio.layout" = "5.1" instead of the more verbose
audio.position = [ FL, FR, FC, LFE, SL, SR ]
* Support for Capability Params was added. This can be used to
negotiate capabilities on a link before format and buffer
negotiation takes place.
* More HDR colortypes are added.
* Loops now have locking with priority inversion. Most code was adapted
to use the faster locks instead of epoll/eventfd to update shared state.
* Channel position are parsed from EDID data.
* Channel maps are now set on ALSA.
* The resampler now supports configurable window functions such
as blackman and kaiser windows. The phases are now also calculated

Modules
- Improve the echo-cancel module to keep the streams more aligned
and cause less latency.
- Improve format parsing errors in most modules.
- The RTP module now has extra code for better network robustness, including
cases when network interfaces are not yet up and running, and multicast

- The direct timestamp mode in the RTP module was effectively broken and is
now fixed.
- Add support for audio.layout.
- Add multichannel support to ROC.
SPA

PipeWire 1.5.81 (2025-10-16)
This is the first 1.6 release candidate that is API and ABI
compatible with previous 1.4.x, 1.2.x and 1.0.x releases.
In addition to all the changes backported to 1.4.x, this release
also contains some new features:
Highlights
- The link negotiation code was refactored and improved.
Applications now have more options for selecting the default
values and restricting the available options. The default
negotiation code will now attempt to better match the application
suggested values.
- The loop now has support for locking with priority inversion. Most
of the code was updated to use the locks instead of invoke to
get proper concurrent updates with the loop. The Thread loop
functionality of locks, signal and wait was moved to the SPA loop.
This guarantees better real-time behaviour because inter-thread
synchronization does not have to pass eventfd/epoll.
- The control stream parser was rewritten to be safe against concurrent
updates while parsing, which can occur when parsing shared memory.
It also has extra checks to avoid integer overflows and undefined
behaviour.
- MIDI 2.0 clip support was added to the tools.
- Bluetooth ASHA (Audio Streaming for Hearing Aid) support was added.
- The ALSA node setup was tweaked to provide low latency with the ALSA
Firewire driver.
- Better support for explicit sync. It is now possible to negotiate
extra features to know if a consumer will signal the sync objects and
implement a fallback using a reliable transport.
- Many bug fixes and improvements.
PipeWire
- Avoid process calls in disconnect in pw-stream. (#3314)
- Disable PipeWire services for root.
- The link negotiation was refactored and improved. Drivers now
always have a lower priority in deciding the final format.
- Backwards compatibility with the v0 protocol was removed.
- pw-stream and pw-filter will now refuse to queue a buffer that
was not dequeued before.
- Object properties will now be updated on the global as well.
- The priority of config overrides is correct now. (#4816)
- Async links now correctly report 1 extra quantum of latency.
- node.exclusive and the new port.exclusive flag are now enforced
by PipeWire itself.
- A new timer-queue helper was added to schedule timeouts.
- node.terminal and node.physical properties are now copied to the
ports to make it possible to create virtual sources and sinks
for JACK applications.
- Port properties will now be dynamically updated when the node
properties they depend on are updated.
- Passive leaf nodes are now handled better. Now they will also
run when the peer is active. (#4915)
- Reliable transport has been added for output ports. This can be
used in some cases if the producer wants to ensure buffers are
consumed by a consumer. (#4885)
- Context properties now support rlimit.<resource> properties to
configure rlimits. (#4047)
Modules
- Close SyncObj fds.
- module-combine-stream has better Latency reporting.
- The JACK tunnel can now optionally connect ports.
- module-loopback has better Latency reporting.
- A Dolby Surround and Dolby Pro Logic II example filter config
was added.
- Filter-chain can now resample to a specific rate before running the
filters. This is useful when the filter-graph needs to run at a
specific rate.
- Avahi-poll now uses the timer-queue to schedule timeouts.
- Modules are ported to timer-queue instead of using timerfd directly
for non-realtime timers.
SPA
- The loop now has support for locking with priority inversion. Most
of the code was updated to use the locks instead of invoke to
get proper concurrent updates with the loop. The Thread loop
functionality of locks, signal and wait was moved to the SPA loop.
- UMP to Midi 1.0 conversion was improved, some UMP events are now
converted to multiple Midi 1.0 messages. (#4839)
- The POD filter was refactored and improved. It is now possible to
use the default value of the output by specifying an invalid input
default value.
- The POD parser was made safe for concurrent updates of the memory
it is parsing. This is important when the POD is in shared memory
and the parser should not access invalid memory.
- Some hardcoded channel limits were removed and now use the global
channel limit. More things can dynamically adapt to this global
limit. The max number of channels was then bumped to 128.
- The POD builder is safe to use on shared memory now and tries to
avoid many integer overflows.
- Most debug functions are safe to be used on shared memory.
- User specified Commands and Events are now possible.
- The SPA_IO_CLOCK_FLAG_DISCONT was added to spa_io_clock to signal
a discont in the clock due to clock change.
- AC3, DTS, EAC3, TRUEHD and MPEGH now have helper parser functions.
- H265 was added as a video format. (#4674)
- SPA_PARAM_PeerFormats was added to let a port know about its peer
formats in order to better filter possible conversions.
- More color matrices, transfer functions and color primaries.
- The echo-canceler is enabled now.
- Pro-Audio mode now uses 3 periods by default. This lowers the
latency on some drivers (Firewire). The latency of Firewire is
also reported correctly now.
- The ALSA DLL bandwidth is configurable now.
- The resampler now uses fixed point for the phases and is a little
faster when updating adaptive rates.
- The convolver is a little faster by swapping buffers instead of
copying samples.
- Latency and ProcessLatency support was added to filter-graph.
(#4678)
- Audio channel position support was added to filter-graph.
- A new ffmpeg avfilter plugin was added to filter-graph.
- A new ONNX filter was added to filter-graph.
- A debug, pipe, zeroramp and noisegate filter was added to the
filter-graph. (#4745)
- The filter-graph lv2 plugin now supports options and state.
- videoconvert was greatly improved.
- The v4l2 plugin can negotiate DMABUF with modifiers.
- Colorimetry information was added to v4l2 and libcamera.
- Audioconvert can handle empty buffers more efficiently.
- Improve the POD compare functions for Rectangle.
- There is now a SPA_POD_PROP_FLAG_DROP flag to drop the property when
the property is missing from one side.
- A new FEATURE choice was added that is basically a flags choice with
a FLAG_DROP property.
- Metadata features were added. This is a way to negotiate new features
for the metadata. (#4885)
- DSD playback with pw-cat has been improved.
- Compatibility and xrun prevention for the SOF driver has been
improved. (#4489)
- The filter-graph max plugin can now have 8 input channels.

official format for storing MIDI 2.0 UMP data. pw-midi2play
and pw-midi2record were added as aliases.
- pw-cat can now upload sysex files. The pw-sysex alias was
added for this.
- The pw-link tool now has a -t option to list port latencies.
It also has better monitor support.
- pw-top can now clear the ERR column with the c key.

Vlc can be compiled again against modern ffmpeg - the SKIP_RECIPE tag is removed.
Drop patches that became obsolete, because the underlying problems were solved.
Was able to build it successfully with meta-qt5, and also play a video in core-image-sato.
Some (opt-in) PACKAGECONFIGs are broken (not removed as part of this patch):
- freerdp - it requires a too old freerdp codebase
- opencv - it requires a too old opencv codebase
- vdpau - compilation fails (undefined symbol av_vdpau_get_surface_parameters),
not really sure about the reason
