+palemoon (28.17.0-1+devuan) obs; urgency=low
+
+  * This is a development, bugfix and security update.
+    - Changed the way dates and times are formatted in the UI to 
+      properly adhere to the user's regional settings in the O.S.
+    - Re-enabled the DOM Filesystem API for web compatibility.
+    - Moved the global user-agent override to the networking component. 
+      See implementation notes.
+    - Worked around crashes and run-time issues with module scripts. 
+      See implementation notes.
+    - Fixed a website layout issue with table-styled elements 
+      potentially overlapping when placed inside a flexbox.
+    - Fixed some code logic issues with websockets.
+    - Fixed a regression when waking the computer from standby causing 
+      high CPU usage in some uncommon situations.
+    - Updated the list of prohibited ports the browser can use. See 
+      implementation notes.
+    - Updated root certificates.
+    - Windows: Changed the way downloaded files without an extension 
+      are handled. See implementation notes.
+    - Mac-beta: Improved version detection of MacOS including Big Sur.
+    - Security issues addressed: CVE-2020-26978 and CVE-2020-35112.
+    - Unified XUL Platform Mozilla Security Patch Summary: 2 fixed, 1 
+      deferred to the next release, 16 not applicable.
+    - The global user-agent override was moved to the networking 
+      component where it is actually implemented. The new preference name is 
+      network.http.useragent.global_override. Please note that using a 
+      blanket override is normally (very) counterproductive and does not, in 
+      fact, help much with privacy. It would also override the compatibility 
+      modes (Native/Gecko/Firefox) in Pale Moon. As such, the browser will 
+      now warn you if the user-agent is globally overridden (in preferences) 
+      and allow you to easily reset that override and re-enable the various 
+      compatibility modes.
+    - Module scripting caused some persistent and very hard to track 
+      browser crashes that we've narrowed down to a specific optimization in 
+      the JavaScript JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler (IonMonkey). This 
+      optimization is now disabled by default but if you need that little 
+      extra performance (usually only noticed in very optimized code or some 
+      benchmarks) then you can re-enable it, trading in stability, by setting 
+      the new preference javascript.options.ion.inlining to true.
+    - Prohibited ports: Pale Moon maintains a blacklist of ports the 
+      browser may normally not connect to on servers, to mitigate abusive web 
+      scripting employing your browser as an attack bot on servers (e.g. by 
+      connecting to mail servers or what not), NAT slipstreaming, and similar 
+      security issues. To more thoroughly prevent known abusable ports on 
+      servers, this list was extended with a number of additional default 
+      ports for various non-http protocols.
+    - Downloaded files without a file extension: When a file without an 
+      extension is downloaded, we will now open the download folder where you 
+      may choose to take any specific action manually, instead of trying to 
+      execute it as a program or through an associated program.
