Wicknix has released SeaLion
32.5.0.
New:
- Goanna layout and rendering engine version 6.5.0
- Added an initial implementation of the ReadableStreams API, improving web compatibility with sites that apparently use this API in utilitarian fashion.
- Added support for transparency in WebM videos for the edge case of using
- Added support for crypto.randomUUID to allow website scripting to generate random UUIDs (universally unique identifiers) through the WebCrypto interface.
- Implemented timer nesting and clamping for workers, preventing timer hangs on bas website code.
- Improved handling of drawing SVG images on canvases without explicit width or height attributes. We now follow the css-sizing-3 Intrinsic Sizes spec.
- Improved performance of our memory allocator.
- Updated libvpx to 1.6.1.
- Cleaned up and updated some media playback code.
- Removed the inclusion of GMP (Gecko Media Plugin) support as it was only in use for EME/DRM and WebRTC, neither of which is supported.
- Removed the last vestiges of EME/DRM code from UXP, since this will never be supported in any application building on it due to the media industry's draconic policies around FOSS.
- Removed simd.js, moving actually used SIMD handling to C++.
- Removed the use of libav in our source, replacing its supply of FFT with the equivalent from FFMpeg.
- Fixed potential type confusion in IonMonkey due to 3-byte opcodes.
- Fixed an issue with tooltips persisting even if the browser window would have lost focus.
- Fixed PerformanceObserver navigation and resource timing (default disabled for privacy); our implementation now fully passes conformance tests.
- Fixed an issue where top-level SVG images would not be correctly clipped by positioned elements, giving the impression of wrong z-ordering as the SVG would overlap other elements.
- Dev: Updated setInterval to fall back to 0 if no duration is supplied.
- Dev: Updated ResizeObserver to a recent spec change, now returning an array of results for borderBoxSize and contentBoxSize instead of an object.
- Dev: Updated Intl.NumberFormat and DefaultNumberOption() to follow spec updates. Most importantly for web compatibility, we now allow the "maximumFractionDigits" option in Intl.NumberFormat to be less than the default minimum fraction digits for the chosen locale, following the general consensus in TC39 around this issue.
- Increased leniency (removed upper limit) of GLSL versions as they tend to be fully backwards compatible.
- Fixed various crashes.
- Added a safeguard to the sec-gpc header (Global Privacy Control) so it cannot be inadvertently overwritten.
- Security fixes: addressed CVE-2023-5722, CVE-2023-5723, CVE-2023-5724, CVE-2023-5727 and several other issues without a CVE number assigned to them.
- UXP Mozilla security patch summary: 6 fixed, 2 DiD, 19 not applicable.
- —disable-eme removed in the .mozconfig
- —disable-precompiled-startupcache added to the .mozconfig

I compiled it for Linux PPC64 today.
Compiling the new SeaLion 32.5.0 for Linux PPC64
It needs GCC 7.1 or newer. I have to upgrade GCC because I used GCC 6.4.1 for compiling Arctic Fox 43.0 for Linux PPC64.
Upgrading of GCC to version 8.3.1:
(This upgrades the packages gcc-c++, gcc, and cpp)
If you want to use "
rpm -U" then you need to download the rpm packages of gcc-c++, gcc, and cpp first.
