newmoon (28.13.0-4+devuan) obs; urgency=low * Import xfce-helper/palemoon.desktop from stevep@mxlinux.org release -- Ben Stack Wed, 09 Sep 2020 14:43:04 -0400 newmoon (28.13.0-3+devuan) obs; urgency=medium * This is a compatibility, bugfix and security update. Special thanks to our new code contributors this cycle (you know who you are)! - Updated the included site-specific user-agent overrides for a number of websites that need them. - Rewritten the browser's padlock code to use more modern APIs and provide more accurate security status indication. - Now also with localized tooltips! - Fixed a missing close button on the undo prompt after removing a thumbnail from the QuickDial new tab page. - Fixed an issue with the alternative stylesheet menu in the browser's UI not working. - Implemented the use of intrinsic aspect ratios for images to improve layout during load and page positioning. - Added a preference to the use of node.getRootNode and disabled by default. See implementation notes. - Added CSS -webkit-appearance as an alias for -moz-appearance to improve compatibility with websites that only try to use Chrome-specific keywords to style standard form elements. - Updated the SQLite library to 3.33.0. - Reinstated precise floating point precision model in JavaScript for those alternate builders who foolishly try to use the inaccurate "fast" model. - Improved spec compliance of modular JavaScript use (ECMAScript modules). - Changed media errors to be a more generic response, and added a preference (media.sourceErrorDetails.enabled) to enable detailed error reporting of media errors for debugging purposes. - Previously, detailed errors were provided by default which could lead to privacy issues. - Improved code stability of the AbortController implementation. - Fixed a race condition in the secure connection library (NSS). - Security issues fixed: CVE-2020-15664, CVE-2020-15666, CVE-2020-15667, CVE-2020-15668 and CVE-2020-15669. - Unified XUL Platform Mozilla Security Patch Summary: 4 fixed, 1 defense-in-depth, 1 rejected, 9 not applicable. * Implementation notes - In 28.11.0 we introduced node.getRootNode because some websites would fail with an error if this function was not present. Unfortunately, this caused problems with other sites that (incorrectly) assume Google WebComponents are available when this utility function is present (feature detection gone wrong). While it is considered by some to be part of the Google WebComponents implementation, it actually has utility value outside of that use. Because of the problems caused, we've added a preference and disabled it by default, fixing these kinds of websites. - When needed, you can re-enable this function with dom.getRootNode.enabled - This should improve web compatibility by default yet still allow users to enable this function for websites that use its utility but do not use WebComponents. -- Ben Stack Fri, 04 Sep 2020 19:50:02 -0400 newmoon (28.12.0-2+devuan) obs; urgency=low * Forked from palemoon. This is an experimental release that does everything that the original dev team would consider wrong, including: - use gtk3 exclusively - enable webrtc - enable system libraries for everything possible -- Ben Stack Thu, 27 Aug 2020 16:55:11 -0400 newmoon (28.12.0-1+devuan) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * First release of newmoon. -- Ben Stack Wed, 05 Aug 2020 14:43:18 -0400
