Pale Moon has been updated to version 33.2.0. This is a development, stability and security release.
New features:- Implemented the missing parts of the html5 <dialog> element, including modal handling and custom backdrops.
- Implemented courser, user-configurable granularity for the canvas poisoning anti-fingerprinting measure. See implementation notes.
- Implemented new CSS viewport units svw, svh, svmin, svmax, lvw, lvh, lvmin, lvmax, dvw, dvh, dvmin and dvmax.
- Implemented new CSS logical viewport units vb, vi, svb, svi, lvb, lvi, dvb and dvi.
Changes/fixes:- Removed the archaic and wholly outdated FIPS security module code.
- Removed the archaic DBM support code for storing of passwords in DBM format files.
- Removed the -moz prefix from -moz-fit-content, aligning with the current CSS standard fit-content value.
- Updated our build system by adopting parts of the old autoconf 2.13 as maintained code. autoconf 2.13 is no longer a build requirement. If you build from source, you may want to review your dependencies with this change.
