+# PipeWire 1.6.5 (2026-05-13)
+
+This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with the previous
+1.6.x releases.
+
+## Highlights
+  - Fix muted output in some cases.
+  - Removed the pipe filter in filter-graph.
+  - More fixes and improvements.
+
+
+## PipeWire
+  - Fix an issue in pw-filter where it could end up in a loop where buffers
+    are stuck on a port and the port becomes silent. (#5249)
+
+## Modules
+  - Improve ROC receiver start/stop, fixes memory leaks. (#5250)
+  - Remove the pipe filter from filter-graph, it's broken by design and a
+    security nightmare.
+  - Fix the midi buffer size in jack-tunnel.
+
+## SPA
+  - Rate limit out-of-buffers errors. (#5249)
+  - Partially revert the line-out mute patch, it seems to break things and leave
+    audio muted when plugging-unplugging jacks.  (#5246)
+  - Improve renegotiation in audioconvert when the graph rate changes and the
+    resampler was disabled. (#4933).
+  - Fix potential crash in alsa when logging.
+
+## Pulse-server
+  - A whole bunch of extra security checks and hardening fixes.
