WebKitGTK+ 2.1.1 adds the webkit_uri_scheme_request_finish_error function to the WebKit2 GTK+ API, a setting to WebKit2, useful for sending console log messages to stdout, and a setting to enable or disable the accelerated 2D canvas in WebKit2. EGL is now always used to create the GL context when running on the Wayland display server, support for video accelerated compositing and audio/speex MIME type has been added to the GStreamer backend, and several bugs have been fixed.
