WPE WebKit 2.31.1
=================
What's new in WPE WebKit 2.31.1?
- Remove support for NPAPI plugins.

- TLS errors and proxy settings APIs have been moved from WebKitContext to WebKitWebsiteDataManager.
- Add new API to remove individual scripts/stylesheets using WebKitUserContentManager.

connection to the system audio daemon and perform audio mixing internally.
For the time being this has to be enabled at runtime through the
WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_AUDIO_MIXER=1 environment variable.
- On-demand GStreamer initialization support, mostly contained to WebProcess.
GStreamer used to be initialized unconditionally once from the UI process
and once from the WebProcess. GStreamer is now used mostly only from the
WebProcess, even for audio/video capture devices probing. Users of the
webkit_web_view_can_show_mime_type API will still trigger GStreamer
initialization in the UIProcess though.
- ImageDecoder video decoder switched to decodebin3.

- Multi-channel (>2) support for the AudioFileReader.
- Multi-channel (>2) support for the WebAudio renderer.
