Monthly summary for 2026-03 focusing on the Rialto 0.19.0 upgrade in rdkcentral/meta-rdk-video. Upgraded Rialto package, Rialto GStreamer package, and related components to version 0.19.0 to improve functionality and dependency compatibility. Commits implemented build- and packaging-related changes and aligned with RDKEMW-15594.

Month: 2026-01 — Focused on stabilizing the media stack and tightening dependency management to deliver reliable playback and lower maintenance cost. Key deliveries include a Rialto dependency upgrade in rdkcentral/meta-rdk-video (0.15.1 -> 0.15.2) with an updated source revision, and a memory-leak fix in rdkcentral/aamp's DrmSessionManager by deleting m_drmConfigParam in the destructor. These changes improve runtime stability, reduce memory usage, and strengthen traceability and testing guidance. Business impact: more stable media experiences for end users and lower risk of resource leaks in production.
