Highlights include support for Intel's Media SDK for hardware-accelerated video encoding/decoding on Windows and Embedded Linux, EGL extension support for i.MX6 Vivante drivers, zerocopy media display via waylandsink DMABuf importation, and Fraunhofer FDK AAC codec support. The videoconvert element now supports multi-threaded scaling and conversion, benefiting real-time 4K/8K stream processing. Python bindings are improved with full programmatic GstCaps manipulation. The build system sees progress with Meson support and plugin filename changes preparing for a new static/dynamic plugin interface in 1.14. GoPro developers made their first contribution, adding CineForm support. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
