Arctic Fox 43.1 is available.

New:

Minor but recommended release.

Download issue fixed (#165)
several video decoder fixes
icon fixes
security fixes

For a full log of fixes and mozilla imported patches: (v43.0...v43.1)

I compiled a non-altivec 32-bit version of Arctic Fox 43.1 for Ubuntu 10.04 and higher (12.04, 14.04, 16.04 etc). It also works on Void PPC, MintPPC (Debian Sid), Debian PPC 32-bit, and Fienix.

Thanks for compiling. Is the AltiVec version for Fienix only? I tried to run it on Ubuntu Xenial but nothing happens which is typical of modern software leaving you in the dark. I booted Xenial for some printing. My printer was on and it set it up in the background.

The other one works. The code be must be packed to the brim a because it's a bit slow to load. Though the old Firefox in Xenial is slow as well.

In any case, as always happens on PPC, I'm having trouble with GitHub. Tried to look here and it's blank. This happens in Odyssey all the time. After all that work compiling. And now its already out of date because GitHub always needs the latest blazing nightly web engine to work.

https://github.com/midyer/u-boot/blob/m ... E.amigaone

It also looks like I got a crash. I clicked here and it disappeared. It common for PPC browsers to crash out but Debian Jessie FireFiox-ESR was the most unstable I've seen.

https://www.generationamiga.com/2023/01 ... ever-died/

I tried to look at the system logs. But some image error is causing a major clutter and making the log viewer unusable. Same error over and over. This is so old fashioned. Why does it write the same line over and over? This is the height of coding ignorance! I know it's from 2016 but why don't they write a smart logger that checks the last line for duplicates and counts them instead? You don't even need AI. They spend so much time on these things and yet they neglect to code it with simple intelligence. Yes I know x64 brute force has made them lazy.

Yes, it also works on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. It’s a non-altivec 32-bit version.

I was hoping to run the AltiVec version optimised for my X1000 in Xenial.

Riccardo Mottola has released Arctic Fox 44.0

New cool graphic! Better JavaScript! And much more.

https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox/releases/tag/v44.0

I compiled Arctic Fox 44.0 for old Linux distributions without AltiVec today.

g_unicode_script_from_iso15924 doesn't exist in the file Arctic-Fox-43.1/gfx/thebes/gfxFontconfigFonts.cpp. That means, it is a new variable in the file gfxFontconfigFonts.cpp.

I removed the code block from the 44.0 sources and it compiles further.

Here it is: arcticfox-44.0.en-US.linux-powerpc-libc6_2.11.1_without_altivec.tar.bz2
