+
+## Highlights
+  - Capabilities wer added to improve negotiation over links.
+  - The audio resampler now has a configurable window function to better
+    tune the resampler quality. A kaiser and blackman window was added
+    and the default parameters were tuned.
+  - Various small fixes and improvements.
+
+## PipeWire
+  - Capabilities and PeerCapabilities were added to exchange key/value
+    pairs between consumer and producer right after a link is made. This

+    should be done.

+    IRs.
+  - The audio resampler window function is now selectable and
+    configurable. A kaiser window and blackman window was added
+    and the default qualities were tweaked to improve quality.
+  - The filter-graph convolver latency is now set by default to
+    something more sensible. (0 by default and N/2 for hilbert).
+    (#4980)
+
+## Bluetooth
+  - Better xrun and error handling for iso streams.
+  - The +CNUM reply was fixed.
+  - The CIEC call status was fixed. (#1744)
