Stack Wed, 09 Jun 2021 08:51:28 -0400 newmoon (29.2.0-1+devuan) obs; urgency=medium * This is a development and bugfix release. - Starting with this version, we will no longer be supporting unmaintained legacy Firefox extensions that are not updated for/targeting Pale Moon directly. - Please see https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26657 for details. * Changes/fixes: - When opening tabs from the History side bar, Pale Moon will now warn you about the action if it would result in opening many tabs at once. - Pale Moon now offers "Open All in Tabs" on bookmark folders even if there is only one sub-item in it, for UI consistency. - Added media format controls in the Content category of Preferences. - Added controls for preferred color scheme. See implementation notes. - Updated several site-specific user-agent overrides for web compatibility. - Removed the ability to accept Firefox IDs for extension installation. - Removed conditional Macintosh code from the application front-end. - Updated the AV1 reference library to 2.0. - Cleaned up more Android code from the platform. - Updated the embedded emoji font to cater to even more race-dependent profession emoji. - Fixed an overflow in clip paths, potentially causing them to be rendered incorrectly. - Added CSS values smooth, high-quality and pixelated to the image-rendering keyword. - Implemented Intl.NumberFormat.formatToParts() to allow deconstruction of localized number formats by scripts. - Reinstated the dom.details_element.enabled preference and fixed a rendering issue with summary/details html elements. - Fixed an issue with CSP .nonce attributes on elements. - Security issues addressed: CVE-2021-29946 DiD and CVE-2021-23994 DiD. - Unified XUL Platform Mozilla Security Patch Summary: 2 DiD, 14 not applicable. * Implementation notes: - This version adds support for the prefers-color-scheme CSS keyword. This keyword is a media query keyword that indicates to websites whether your content styling preference is "light" or "dark". Unlike other browsers where this will be tied to your system color scheme and determined automatically (which might be a point on which you can be fingerprinted, so this would be a privacy concern), we've decided to give the user control through Preferences -> Content -> Colors where you will find a new control to indicate your user preference (it defaults to "light" for everyone). While this control also gives you the option to disable this feature and effectively not support the keyword, be aware that this might cause issues on some websites that do not provide styling for "unspecified" color scheme preferences. - In the future we may add an "automatic" option similar to other browsers in case you regularly switch your system application style from light to dark and v.v. -- B.

Stack Tue, 02 Feb 2021 19:04:30 -0500 newmoon (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. -- B.

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. -- B.
