Veranderingen voor v53.0 - v53.0.1

Veranderingen voor v52.0.2 - v53.0

  • Updated to Firefox 53.0
  • The Git repo now includes the mozilla-release commit history to allow easier merging
  • Delay in macOS release as I’ve lost all of my private keys for my previous Apple Developer ID certs and am awaiting the 5 cert limit to be lifted. I’ve heard this can take a while so will try to push as I can’t make any new Mac 💻 releases without one.
  • NPAPI Plugins and unsigned extensions should still run
  • Future Developments
  • Trials are being dont with ffmpeg. I’m planning to add support for every audio/video format that isn’t supported natively on the platform Waterfox is run on and allowing support for more codecs such as HEVC etc on top. The UK doesn’t suffer the same patent issues as the US in releasing software that uses H.26X
  • I’m going through all the 3rd party libraries used by the Mozilla platform to make sure they are updated often instead of waiting for them to eventually get merged into mozilla-release
  • What features does Waterfox currently have?
  • Compiled with Clang-cl on Windows, Clang+LLVM on Linux
  • Disabled Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)

  • Automatic updates will be delayed by 24 hours to make sure there aren’t any pressing issues before seeding to everyone.

Please report any issues and I’ll file bugzilla reports as this will help out Mozilla as well 🙂 This is a promising step to using a completely free/open-source build environment!
  • Reverted Registry Entries to be the same location as Mozilla’s so 3rd party programs like Roboform can work again (might need to re-install Roboform or Waterfox again for example)
  • Another attempt to fix unsigned extensions from not running. So hopefully they will now!



Veranderingen voor v47.0 - v47.0.1
