+# PipeWire 0.3.65 (2023-01-26)
+
+This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
+0.3.x releases.
+
+## Highlights
+  - Add back the deprecated symbols but make sure a deprecated warning is
+    emitted for them. This fixes compilation issues in bindings.
+  - Fix an error in the AVX code that could cause crackling in filter-chain
+    when using the mixer.
+  - The convolver in filter-chain can now select an IR from a list of IRs
+    that best matches the current samplerate. Also resampling of the IR
+    has been improved.
+  - A new native module-combine-stream was added. You can use this to create
+    a 5.1 device from 3 stereo soundcards, for example, or direct the output
+    to multiple sinks at once.
+  - Support for Bluetooth MIDI was added. This requires a wireplumber
+    addition as well.
+  - An ALSA plugin rule was added to tweak the buffer settings in Davinci
+    Resolve so that it now runs with acceptable latency. (#1697)
+  - Support for compress offload was added using tinycompress. This allows
+    compressed formats to be decoded in hardware using ALSA on some devices.
+  - Many more buffixes and improvements.
+
+
+## PipeWire
+  - Add back the deprecated symbols but make sure a deprecated warning is
+    emitted for them. (#2952)
+  - Fix a regression when running older servers and newer clients (such as
+    flatpaks on older server) where the server would run clients too soon,
+    causing crashes. (#2964)
+  - Ensure that environment variables override any config values.
+
+## Tools
+  - pw-cli has received some improvements in the output.
+  - pw-cat can now use ffmpeg to demux streams for compress offload.
+
+## modules
+  - The convolver IR volume is now preserved after resampling.
+  - Adapter ports can now have a custom prefix.
+  - module-rt now clamps the realtime priority to the user allowed one if
+    it is within an acceptable range. Before it would fall back to RTKit
+    immediately.
+  - The module-echo-cancel can now have per stream channel layouts which
+    makes it possible to link to specific audio ports on a device. (#2939)
+  - Fix an error in the AVX code that could cause crackling in filter-chain
+    when using the mixer. (#2965)
+  - The convolver in filter-chain can now select an IR from a list of IRs
+    that best matches the current sample-rate.
+  - module-pipe-* now better matches the pulseaudio properties. (#2973)
+  - A new combine-stream module was added to combine multiple sinks into
+    one sink. It is also possible to merge multiple sources into one.
+  - module-rtp-source now has match rules to select what SAP sessions
+    to stream from. There were also improvements to the buffering and
+    latency handling.
+  - module-rtp-sink now handles multicast loopback correctly.
+  - module-rtp-sink implements min-ptime and max-ptime to control the
+    send packet latency.
+
+## SPA
+  - A new modifier flag was added to the video format parser helper to
+    allow 0 (linear) as a valid modifier. (#2943)
+  - Params includes were reorganized to make it more scalable. Many compressed
+    audio formats were added.
+  - The alsa pcm plugin now handles invalid values from the driver
+    gracefully. (#2953)
+  - Fix some potential stuttering cause by wrong scaling and overflow
+    of the output buffers in audioconvert. (#2680)
+  - Debug output is now also sent to the log instead of stdout. (#2923)
+  - A debug context was added to debug macros to implement custom debug
+    handling. This is used to redirect the debug of pods to the debug log
+    instead of using some custom duplicated code.
+  - Fix some warnings for potentially undefined shifts in format
+    conversion.
+  - Support for compress offload was added using tinycompress. This is mostly
+    used on some embedded hardware where decoding of audio formats can be
+    done in hardware.
+
+## Bluetooth
+  - Some fixes for LE audio were added.
+  - Support for Bluetooth MIDI was added. This requires a wireplumber
+    addition as well.
+  - Reply OK to empty commands.
+  - Improve compatibility with some devices that send stray \n such as
+    the Sennheiser HD 350BT. (#2991)
+
+## pulse-server
+  - Devices with unsupported formats (by the pulseaudio API) are now also
+    listed in the pulseaudio API (with invalid formats).
+  - The native module-combine-stream is used for module-combine-sink.
+
+## JACK
+  - Make jack.merge-monitor default to true to better match the jack1/2
+    behaviour. Add an exception for mixxx, which is more usable with
+    unmerged monitors. (#1760)
+
+## ALSA
+  - The property handling in the ALSA plugin was improved. alsa.properties
+    and alsa.rules can now be added to the config file.
+  - A rule was added to tweak the buffer settings in Davinci Resolve so that
+    it can run with acceptable latency. (#1697)
+  - ALSA volume will now also use cubic volumes, like pulseaudio.
+  - The ALSA ctl plugin now also uses the client-rt.conf file.
+  - A new alsa.volume-method was added to configure cubic or linear volume.
+    This can be set per application using the rules.
+
+## GStreamer
+  - pipewiresrc will now advertize DMABUF support if the pipeline suports
+    this.
+  - pipewiresrc will now always be a live source unless told otherwise.
