Pale Moon 29.0.0 (New) New additions & Changes/fixes
#1
http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml          Pale Moon: Release notes
General note:
DiD This means that a fix is "Defense-in-Depth": It is a fix that does not apply to a (potentially) actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon, but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code, e.g. when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem, or when new attack vectors are discovered.
v29.0.0 (2021-02-02)
A new year, a new milestone!
While our initial intent was to have Google WebComponent support with this milestone, any reasonable deadline has passed for it.
Instead, this new release continues to build on further improvements and enhancements in the platform and additions to the browser, as well as a large number of bugfixes.

New additions:

    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.
    Added preliminary support for modern FreeBSD builds.
    Selectively enabled core features of the DOM Animations API.
    Enabled AV1 video support by default (previously built but not enabled in releases).
    Added support for pointer events.
    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.
    Partial (and as of yet, not acceptably functional) implementation of Google WebComponents. See implementation notes.

Changes/fixes:

    Updated NSPR to 4.29.
    Updated NSS to 3.59.
    Disabled legacy database format for storage of certificates and passwords. See implementation notes.
    Updated several site-specific user-agent overrides for web compatibility.
    Improved styling of the "find in page" bar to avoid unreadable text on some system themes.
    Removed a large chunk of Android-specific code.
    Split gkmedias.dll back out from xul.dll.
    Cleaned up a number of redundant and obsolete code paths.
    Fixed a regression with the Performance API.
    Fixed an initialization issue in the browser when users would force-disable certain types of caching.
    Fixed a crash when attempting to save a file from FTP that could be displayed in the browser.
    Fixed the root cause of an issue with JavaScript module loading causing crashes. See implementation notes.
    Fixed a rare initialization issue for the print preview window causing it to not display.
    Fixed a crash on Mac when text input was not secure.
    Disabled the Storage Manager API by default.
    Disabled the <menuitem> html tag by default. If you still need this, you can re-enable it with the preference dom.menuitem.enabled in about:config.
    Fixed a memory safety issue related to XUL trees (CVE-2021-23962).
    Implemented several defense-in-depth measures to improve stability and future security.
    Unified XUL Platform Mozilla Security Patch Summary: 1 fixed, 6 DiD, 1 already implemented, 1 deferred to the next release, 24 not applicable.         http://www.palemoon.org/download.shtml      Download locations    Download links    Pale Moon Europe  64 Bit: http://rm-eu.palemoon.org/release/palemo...taller.exe      Pale Moon Americas 64 Bit: http://rm-us.palemoon.org/release/palemo...taller.exe    Pale Moon Asia 64Bit: http://rm-as.palemoon.org/release/palemo...taller.exe      Pale Moon Global 64 Bit:  https://www.filehorse.com/download-pale-moon-64/
