• audioconvert: support more than 64 audio channels
• avvidec: fix dropped frames when doing multi-threaded decoding of I-frame codecs such as DV Video

• vtdec deadlock fixes on shutdown and format/resolution changes (as might happen with e.g. HLS/DASH)
• fmp4mux, isomp4mux: Add support for adding AV1 header OBUs into the MP4 headers, and add language from tags
• gtk4paintablesink improvements: fullscreen mode and gst-play-1.0 support

• v4l2codecs: decoder: Reorder caps to prefer DMA_DRM ones, fixes issues with playbin3

• Visualizer plugins fixes
• Avoid using private APIs on iOS
• Various bug fixes, memory leak fixes, and other stability and reliability improvements
