This is a new milestone release. It involves over 250 commits, of which the most important ones are highlighted here.
New features:
Implemented a restricted version of the asynchronous clipboard API (navigator.clipboard). This API is restricted to writing only for obvious security considerations. It supports both plaintext and the standard DataTransfer methods. We did not implement the reinvented wheel concept of ClipboardItem objects.
Implemented support for SHA-2 (SHA-256/SHA-512/etc.) signatures for OCSP stapled responses.
Implemented PromiseRejectionEvent. Although this is rarely actually used, some common JS libraries (you know who you are!) use it as a feature level canary and start loading (broken!) Promise shims if it is not found, causing compatibility issues and broken websites due to the shims.
Fixes:
Aligned microtasks and Promises scheduling with the current spec and expected behavior.
We now no longer send click events to top levels of the document hierarchy when using non-primary buttons (use auxclick, instead, to capture these events).
Greatly improved the performance of box shadows.
Fixed several issues related to focus and content selection.
Fixed issues with the use of focus-within caused by unexpected processing of DOM events.
Fixed an issue with CSP not behaving as-expected when using importScripts(), and fixed a number of additional CSP-related issues.
Greatly improved the performance of file/data uploads over HTTP/2 (most of the secure websites out there).
Fixed an web compatibility issue with CORS preflights not sending the original request's referrer policy or referrer header.
Fixed a crash due to clamping code introduced for SetInterval and SetTimeout timers.
Fixed a spec compliance issue with StructureClone.
Fixed crashes when dynamic imports are canceled (e.g. by navigation).
Other changes:
Changed to now have its .files property be writable following a spec change and recommendation.
We are now requiring and building against the C++17 language standard.
Updated the in-tree ffvpx lib to 6.0.
Updated the IntersectionObserver interface to now also accept documents for the observer root instead of only HTML elements.
Cleaned up various bits of code surrounding GMP, memory allocation, system libraries, vestigial Android code, freetype2 and developer tools.
Improved efficiency of handling D3D textures.
Added initial and experimental Mac PowerPC and Big Endian support.
Security issues addressed: CVE-2024-0746, CVE-2024-0741, CVE-2024-0743 DiD, CVE-2024-0750 DiD, and CVE-2024-0753.
UXP Mozilla security patch summary: 3 fixed, 2 DiD, 12 not applicable.
Grab the SeaLion-Extras.zip for some popular compatible extensions, themes, and Flash installers (no time bomb versions). Some extensions had to be modified to work with this release. If you notice incompatible extensions that use to work, download this archive again and reinstall those extensions.
