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.

newmoon (29.0.0-1+devuan) obs; urgency=medium

  * New major milestone release:
    - Implemented Intl.PluralRules API for JavaScript.
    - Added a frequently-requested preference (browser.tabs.allowTabDetach) to
      disable "tearing off" of tabs (meaning dragging them outside of the tab
      bar resulting in them being made into their own window).
    - Added FLAC as a recognized filetype-by-extension.
    - Implemented basic support for the scrollbar-width CSS keyword. See
      implementation notes.
    - Added preliminary support for modern FreeBSD builds.
    - Selectively enabled core features of the DOM Animations API.

    - Added support for the SVG transform-box property.
    - Added support for the inputmode property for forms to enable
      context-sensitive display of soft keyboards.
    - Enabled shutting down of the file I/O worker when idle for a while
      (resource optimization).
    - Enabled blocking of auto-play of media in the background by default.
    - We now offer official GTK3 builds for Linux alongside the GTK2 builds.

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.

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.
