SeaMonkey/StatusMeetings/2022-10-30: Difference between revisions

** There are still several issues open which are being in the process of being fixed.

** Crash submitting does work but currently the crashes are not accessible.

* The '''WGS9s''' servers are working fine and unofficial builds are being released.

* We have created repos at [https://foss.heptapod.net/seamonkey hg heptapod] to mirror some of our code.

<!-- Comment out this section if nothing new fixed

** The site is currently incompatible with SeaMonkey so you need a different browser for this.

* Compiler support is up to date.

** clang 7 to 14, VS2017 15.9.13+, VS2019 and VS2022 are supported under Windows x64.

** Support for clang 6 will be removed soon. For backporting the new regexp parser full c++17 support is needed. While this may work with clang 5 and up it is basically untested.

** Mozilla skipped clang 10 support because of unspecified problems and did go straight to clang 11 from 9. We will not support clang 10 either. It can be used but is unsupported by us. gcc 9 and up did not get much/any testing so ymmv.

* We are evaluating using a later macOS sdk.

* Current Firefox and Thinderbird only support macOS 10.12 or higher. We might do this too in one of the next releases.

* See {{Bug|1688498}} for important current 2.53 issues and enhancement requests.

** You can also download the wasi-sysroot from [https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases/ wasi-sysroot].

* Because of some components removal build central is currently broken. Preliminary patches are in our comm-central patch repo.

*** contentprefs has been removed and merged with contentprefs2 so test add-ons for compatibility.

* SeaMonkey 2.53.x originally based on Gecko 56 is in our gitlab comm-release repo.

* SeaMonkey 2.53.x under macOS Monterey has a problem with fullscreen but not a new problem. Don't try to switch to it using the green dot in the titlebar.

** Youtube no longer seems to display correctly for some users only advertizing Firefox in the UA.

** Further enhancements are planned for a later release in {{Bug|1737436}}.

** Old 2.53.x bugs are still marked as not fixed in bugzilla. We will mark them as fixed as time permits.

* WebExtension dictionary support is being worked on but no ETA.

* '''Please use the new Calendar component for reporting and tracking respective bugs!'''

* We are looking into adding support for Custom Elements and Shadow DOM in a later release. No ETA yet.

** Google owned/based websites like youtube are likely to break because of this in the near future. There are already reports of broken functionality on youtube.

* Some users report heavy memory usage compared to 2.49.5 but no specific problem or common cause has been found yet.

** We recommend using an x64 build to avoid out of memory conditions accessing bloated sites.

* [https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/ github-wc-polyfill] can be used for accessing github and gitlab. Both need Custom Elements support right now. Latest version is 1.2.19.

** Some menus are currently blank if you log in. A fix for web compatibility has been partially removed from 2.53.12b1 pre to account for this. See [https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/issues/44 github] for a detailed explanation.

* [https://github.com/dirkf/downthemall-was-legacy/ DownThemAll] fixed 3.1.2 version for 2.53.10 and up.

* The Stylish forks [https://github.com/Lootyhoof/stylem/releases/tag/v2.2.8/ stylem] and [https://github.com/dirkf/stylem/releases/tag/2.2.8-df/ stylem df version] work in 2.53.13.
