+palemoon (28.9.0.2-1+devuan) obs; urgency=medium
+
+ * This is a small bugfix update addressing 2 more important issues in 28.9.0.
+ - Fixed an issue with browser migration and initialization code causing various browser run-time problems.
+ - Fixed an issue with cache behavior where some users would have trouble having their windows and tabs restored in "soft refresh" mode (see v28.9.0 release notes).
+ - To solve this, we reverted to the previous (pull from cache) mode for now while we investigate the cause.

+palemoon (28.9.0-1+devuan) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+ * From releasenotes.shtml: This is a major development update.
+ * New features
+ - Implemented asynchronous iterators (`await iterator.next()` and `for await` loops) (ES2018)
+ - Implemented promise-based media playback.
+ - Implemented non-standard legacy CSSStyleSheet rules functions.
+ - Implemented the html5 `<dialog>` element. To switch this on, flip `dom.dialog_element.enabled` to true.
+ - Implemented the optional hiding of pinned tabs in CtrlTab/AllTab panes. (controlled through the preferences `browser.ctrlTab.hidePinnedTabs` and `browser.allTabs.hidePinnedTabs`)
+ - Added 1.25x playback speed to html media elements.
+ - Added a hidden pref (`browser.places.smartBookmarks.max`) to control the sizes of default smart bookmarks categories.
+ * Changes/fixes
+ - Aligned `document.open()` with the overhauled specification.
+ - Aligned the way DOM styles are computed with mainstream browser behavior.
+ - Removed the (unused) DOM promise implementation.
+ - Enabled seeking to next frame in media files.
+ - Enabled dynamic UA updates for emergency use.
+ - Implemented rule processing stub for font-variation-settings.
+ - Increased the maximum XML nesting depth to 2048 levels for extreme corner cases and to conservatively align with other browsers.
+ - Improved the privacy of geolocation lookup calls, with thanks to a generous service donation from ip-api.com
+ - Improved reporting of the operating system in site-specific user-agent overrides.
+ - Improved table drawing performance again after the rewrite for sticky positioning making it slower.
+ - Updated CSP processing to allow custom scheme wildcards to be specified without a port.
+ - Aligned the behavior of outlines with other browsers when dealing with CSS-repositioned elements.
+ - Changed the way hardware acceleration is controlled from the application.
+ - Changed the default monospace font for main languages from Courier New to Consolas.
+ - This provides a more balanced font for fixed-width text that is slightly more condensed and more in line with the naturally compacter variable-width fonts used everywhere else.
+ - Changed the browser's behavior when restoring tabs from previous sessions. To prevent stale pages, it will now by default perform a "soft refresh" of the page instead of drawing it purely from cache without checking if the page needs updating. If you prefer the old behavior, set `browser.sessionstore.cache_behavior` to 0 in about:config.
+ - Updated NSPR to 4.24 and NSS to ~3.48.1-RTM, removing the previous custom patch level with NSS being able to support custom rounds for DBM now.
+ - For extensive release notes with all NSS changes, see [NSS_Releases](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/NSS_Releases)
+ - Implemented an NSS performance optimization for Master Password use with limited effect.
+ - Fixed some potential crashing scenarios with WebGL on Linux.
+ - Completely removed `showModalDialog`.
+ - Disabled some logging in production builds.
+ - Removed various gadgeteering/redundant/dead DOM APIs (casting/presentation, FlyWeb)
+ - Removed support for a number of critical libraries being system-supplied.
+ - Removed "Copy raw data" button from the troubleshooting information page, since it's never used by us in that format, and users mistakenly keep using it instead of copying text.
+ - Removed a bunch of Android and iOS support code.
+ - Fixed an issue with form elements sometimes being incorrectly disabled.
+ - Fixed several crashes.
+ - Fixed an issue with Captive Portal detection sometimes firing even when disabled by the user.
+ - Performed various tree-wide code cleanups.
+ - Backed out a large code cleanup patch for causing subtle issues in website operation (e.g. WordPress). This will have to be revisited later; the reintroduced code is not in use in practice.
+ - Cleaned up the application updater code.
+ * Security-related fixes:
+ - Fixed a potential pointer issue in cubeb. DiD
+ - Disabled allowing remote jar: URIs by default for security reasons. If you need this functionality for your non-standard environment, you can enable it with the preference `network.jar.block-remote-files`, but please consider moving away from this method of providing web-based applications.
+ - Removed a potentially dangerous and otherwise ineffective optimization from the JavaScript engine.
+ - Fixed unwanted behavior where created/focused pop-up windows could potentially cover the DOM fullscreen notification, hiding it from users. (CVE-2020-6810)
+ - Fixed an issue where copying data as a curl request from developer tools would not properly escape parameters. (CVE-2020-6811)
+ - Updated our sctp library code with several upstream fixes.
+ - Unified XUL Platform Mozilla Security Patch Summary: 4 fixed, 3 already mitigated, 1 rejected, 11 not applicable.
