Förändringar v24.2.2 -> v24.4.1

• Bugfix: the new status bar code in 24.4.0 had a bug, preventing the downloads panel/window from opening when clicking on the download status indicator. There may have been a few other, similar small usability bugs in the same code that have now been fixed.
• Feature update: Selecting "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" in the Options window will now apply both to closing a window and closing other tabs in the tab bar.
• Bug #940714 - Add an RAII class to make synchronous raster image decoding safer.
• Bug #896268 - Use a stateless approach to synchronous image decoding. security fix
• Bug #982909 - Consistently use inner window when calling OpenJS. security fix
• Bug #982957 - Fix crash if certain sweeps run out of memory. security fix
• Bug #982906 - Remove option for security bypass in URI building. security fix
• Bug #983344 - JavaScript: Simplify typed arrays and fix GC loops. security fix
• Bug #982974 - Be paranoid about neutering ArrayBuffer objects. security fix

Förändringar v24.2.1 -> v24.2.2

• Implementation of all remaining applicable security fixes from Firefox 26.0 that were not implemented yet in previous versions.
• Update of the Security library (NSS) to 3.15.3.1.
• Fix of new js zone writes/zone barrier bugs.
• The Sync configuration allows users to input their own recovery key again. Please note that letting the browser generate its own secure recovery key is still strongly recommended, as this recovery key should be impossible to guess and of sufficient length and complexity to keep your data safely encrypted.

Förändringar v24.2.0 -> v24.2.1

• Fix for some status bar localizations not working and giving an error.
• Implementation of an optimized QuickFind routine.
• Implementation of per-zone user data handling.
• Security fix in the JPEG library.
• Security fix in web workers.

Förändringar v24.1.2 -> v24.2.0

• This update implements the following changes:
• Update of the new-tab routine: When opening a new tab, focus will now only be on the address bar if you open a blank tab or the Quick Dial page, and focus will be on the page content otherwise (Pale Moon start page or custom URL).
• Compatibility issues between QuickFind/Find-as-you-Type and HTML5 input fields in forms fixed.
• New advanced feature: Later versions of the Firefox code will automatically place the browser window fully on a visible portion of the screen. If you prefer having the browser window positioned partially off-screen and want to prevent this automatic resizing and repositioning when starting a new session, create a new boolean preference in about:config called browser.sessionstore.exactPos and set it to true.
• Updated the localization of the status bar code with the following locales: en-GB, es-MX, es-AR, it, pl.
• Fix for a security issue with script event handlers.

Förändringar v24.1.1 -> v24.1.2

• Update of the NSPR library to 4.10.2 RTM.
• Update of the Security library (NSS) to 3.15.3 (alternative branch) to pick up a number of fixes.
• Fix (finally) of the menu list of tabs when browser.allTabs.previews is set to false. It would stick the top entry, not properly highlight the selected tab, and would generally be unpleasant and stubborn when tabs were moved or closed. This should all be corrected now.
• Additional feature: Previously, tabs would immediately resize to fill the tab bar when you would close them. Mozilla changed this a (long) while back to cater to "rapidly closing multiple tabs without moving the mouse" and to resize you have to move the mouse out of the tab bar. A good number of Firefox/Pale Moon users don't like this behavior, but the fix to make this configurable was in the end rejected by the Mozilla UX team, so I opted for my own implementation in Pale Moon. New pref: browser.tabs.resize_immediately - set this preference to true to immediately resize other tabs when closing a tab.
• Many thanks to David for doing the required research for this feature!
• Rework of the multi-core routine and removal of OpenMP code and the related library (Microsoft's implementation is old, limited, and won't be updated/improved; in addition it prevented some compiler optimizations that could now be used again).
• The accessibility back-end for "Find as you type" has been disabled completely to prevent this setting from breaking websites with HTML5 input fields (not compatible with FAYT).

Förändringar v24.1.0 -> v24.1.1

• address connectivity issues with web servers using depreciated encryption methods

Förändringar v24.0.2 -> v24.1.0

• Fixes:
• MFSA 2013-102 Use-after-free in HTML document templates.
• MFSA 2013-101 Memory corruption in workers.
• MFSA 2013-100 Miscellaneous use-after-free issues found through ASAN fuzzing.
• MFSA 2013-99 Security bypass of PDF.js checks using iframes.
• MFSA 2013-98 Use-after-free when updating offline cache.
• MFSA 2013-97 Writing to cycle collected object during image decoding.
• MFSA 2013-96 Improperly initialized memory and overflows in some JavaScript functions.
• MFSA 2013-95 Access violation with XSLT and uninitialized data.
• MFSA 2013-94 Spoofing addressbar though SELECT element.
• MFSA 2013-93 Miscellaneous memory safety hazards.
• Security + cleanup fix: No longer store empty event handlers.
• User interface: Fix for the classic downloads window having a blank title with no running downloads.
• User interface: Fix of the drop-down menu "double entry" in the all-tabs list as-a-menu setup.
• Changes:
• Extensions are now set to automatically update by default. Because many users fail to do the occasional check to see if there are updates available to their extensions, the default is to automatically check and install available updates to extensions from this version forward to give the best possible browsing experience. If you prefer to check manually, make sure to change the setting accordingly in your add-on manager.
• Two SSL ciphers that are considered weak are disabled by default (RSA-RC4-128-MD5 and RSA-RC4-128-SHA). If you are having trouble reaching certain encrypted sites that exclusively use these encryption methods, you should ask the site owners to update their SSL configuration to allow stronger encryption. As a workaround, you can enable the ciphers by installing the Pale Moon Commander add-on and changing the available ciphers there, or by setting security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_128_md5 and security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_128_sha to true in about:config
• New Features:
• When there is a web feed available on a website, Pale Moon will now display a feed indicator on the right side of the address bar to indicate that feeds are available. You can click this icon to subscribe to feeds.
• If you don't want this indicator, set browser.urlbar.rss to false in about:config
• Note: more technical information on the forum!

Förändringar v24.0 -> v24.0.1

• Fix for unreadable address bar text when visiting a broken or mixed-mode SSL site.
• Fix for an incorrect browser cache size default when first starting the browser. (regression)
• Note: If you have used version 24.0, then please check your Options -> Advanced -> Network tab, and if the cache size is set to "1024", change it back to its default "250" to prevent unnecessary use of disk space and potential slowing of the browser.
• Fix for themes not applying to Private Browsing windows. (regression)
• A small update to the new icon to fix some visual issues with it.
• Reduction of visual friction and CPU usage on some operations by disabling smooth scrolling on it by default (e.g. Home/End keys).

Förändringar v20.3 -> v24.0

• Switch to a new Mozilla code base (Gecko 24.0).
• Update of the Pale Moon icon/logo. Special thanks go to Roger Gómez del Casal for providing me with an interesting concept design image to use as a base for it!
• Fixes for all relevant security vulnerabilities.
• Many changes and updates in the rendering, scripting and parsing back-end to provide significant improvements in overall browser performance (including benchmark scores).
• Addition of a number of HTML5 elements, improving overall HTML5 standards compliance.
• Implementation of the webaudio API (most features that are no longer draft).
• Removal of Tab Groups (Panorama). If you actively used this functionality, I have also made an add-on (Mozilla dev sourced) available to restore this feature to the browser.
• Removal of a few additional Accessibility options.
• Inclusion of an updated version of the Add-on SDK and loader to solve recent issues with SDK/Jetpack add-ons.
• Adjustment of the Quickdial "new tab" feature to have better layout.
• Extension of the address bar shading functionality to more clearly indicate when there is a problem with a secure site (red shading on broken SSL/mixed content).
• New way of handling plugins with control on a per-site basis. An extensive description can be found on the forum.
• Restored/maintained a number of features that were removed from recent Firefox versions:
• Graphical tab switching feature with quick search (Ctrl+Shift+Tab).
• Removing the tab bar if there is only one tab present.
• Options for the loading of images.
• More recovery options in the Safe Mode startup dialog box than just nuking your profile.
• Send Link/E-mail Link mail client integration functionality.
• Unification of version numbers. x86 and x64 will from this point forward use the same version number (and icon) without an architecture designation. This will solve potential compatibility issues on new major versions, as well as the superfluous compatibility check when switching between x86 and x64 on the same profile.

Förändringar v20.0.1 -> v20.1

• Changes:
• Update of the libpixman graphics library to improve performance for SSE2 CPUs.
• Some improvements are implemented in the optimized code paths for SSE2 instructions in the libpixman library.
• Change to the "Clear download history" setting for use with the panel-based download manager (classic UI unaffected).
• This change makes the UI clearer for privacy settings, to synchronize the setting for history&download in the preferences dialog box when the new download panel is used (since the new panel uses a history list for downloaded files in the library rather than a separate list). For panel downloads, both settings are now linked. For the classic download, a separate choice can be made for history and downloads as before.
• New changes in Firefox code not included by design in this version of Pale Moon:
• Removal of E4X - Pale Moon will keep this available until the next major release.
• Removal of Places History API for add-ons.
• More add-ons will be able to continue functioning if they make use of these APIs.
• Addition of scoped stylesheet implementation.
• This advocates the use of in-line styling in webpages (using style= parameters on elements instead of using classes and IDs), which is something we have been trying to move away from for some years now! It promotes using messy page code. Let's all keep things clean, shall we?
• Implementation of FHR (Firefox Health Report - advanced usage/app metrics collection and submission).
• Although it would allow users to get a bit more details about what is going on in their browser, the implementation is only partial to begin with, and there's no reason to add a potential privacy issue to Pale Moon in terms of telemetry-under-a-different-name.
• Fixes:
• (CVE-2013-1674) Fix for UAF with video and onresize event (crash fix)
• (CVE-2013-1675) Fix for parameters being used uninitialized
• (CVE-2013-1676) Fix for out-of-bounds read in SelectionIterator::GetNextSegment
• (CVE-2013-1679) Fix for heap use-after-free in mozilla::plugins::child::_geturlnotify
• (CVE-2013-1680) Fix for heap-use-after-free in nsFrameList::FirstChild (crash fix)
• (CVE-2013-1681) Fix for heap-use-after-free in nsContentUtils::RemoveScriptBlocker (crash fix)
• Fix for out-of-bounds read crash in PropertyProvider::GetSpacingInternal (crash fix)

• Fix for a problem where the IPC Channel could overwrite the stack
• Fix for Crash in MediaDecoder::UpdatePlaybackOffset (crash fix)
• Fix for Crash [@ nsTextFrame::HasTerminalNewline()] with splitText (crash fix)
• Fix for FTP use-after-free crash (crash fix)
