описание

Разработчики из проекта Pale Moon («Бледная луна») представили собственный вариант браузера Firefox, оптимизированный для использования всех ресурсов операционных систем Windows, в том числе Windows 7. Оптимизация исполняемого кода при компиляции помогла сохранить полную совместимость с расширениями Firefox и обеспечила солидный выигрыш в скорости – около 25%, по результатам теста SunSpider.

Популярный открытый браузер Firefox имеет одно свойство, которое можно считать как преимуществом, так и недостатком. Дело в том, что браузер изначально создавался с расчетом на использование в самых разных операционных системах – это важно для создания унифицированной рабочей среды для пользователя. В то же время, ориентация на многоплатформенность не могла не сказаться на производительности – разработчикам явно пришлось пожертвовать оптимизацией под каждую конкретную платформу. Именно этим резервом и решили воспользоваться разработчики Pale Moon.

Вообще говоря, результаты сравнительных тестов не всегда отражают реальную производительность браузеров в повседневных задачах. Тем не менее, эксперты с сайта LifeHacker.com сообщили, что браузер Pale Moon действительно быстрее отображает веб-страницы большого размера со сложной версткой по сравнению со стандартным Firefox. Кроме того, если устанавливать браузер не в «портабельном» варианте, Pale Moon может автоматически использовать уже созданный пользовательский профиль Firefox, так что вы не потеряете свои настройки.

ключевые особенности

- основан полностью на исходниках Firefox
- оптимизирован для современных процессоров
- использует меньше оперативной памяти, чем FF
- высокая скорость отрисовки страниц и обработки скриптов
- поддерживает SVG и Canvas, загружаемые шрифты, WOFF и некоторые HTML5
- поддерживает расширений, тем и "персон" браузера Firefox
- возможен перенос профилей Firefox с помощью инструмента для миграции (скачивается отдельно)
- имеется официальный русификатор (скачивается отдельно).

Changes:

• A change to how tab histories are cached to improve the overall memory footprint and make browsing smoother, especially when using a large number of tabs with extensive active use.
• A change to the networking pipelining back-end to use a more aggressive fallback if there are issues with pipelining requests, to minimize delays when loading pages and prevent time-outs.
• Update of the compiler to Visual Studio 2012 Update 3, to fix a few compiler issues.
• Removed the double entry for smooth scrolling selection in preferences (leaving just the one in the scrolling tab)

Fixes:

• (CVE-2013-1704) ASAN heap-use-after-free in nsINode::GetParentNode
• (CVE-2013-1708) Non-null crash at nsCString::CharAt
• (CVE-2013-1712) Code injection through internal updater
• (CVE-2013-1713) InstallTrigger can use the wrong principal when validating URI loads

Pale Moon 24.0

Изменения:

24.0 (2013-09-13)
This is a new major release with many changes and improvements. A concise summary of the changes follows. There are too many changes and updates (both resulting from the code base update and from the additional Pale Moon development on top) to list all of them in detail.

• Switch to a new Mozilla code base (Gecko 24.0).
• Update of the Pale Moon icon/logo. Special thanks go to Roger Gómez del Casal for providing me with an interesting concept design image to use as a base for it!
• Fixes for all relevant security vulnerabilities.
• Many changes and updates in the rendering, scripting and parsing back-end to provide significant improvements in overall browser performance (including benchmark scores).
• Addition of a number of HTML5 elements, improving overall HTML5 standards compliance.
• Implementation of the webaudio API (most features that are no longer draft).
• Removal of Tab Groups (Panorama). If you actively used this functionality, I have also made an add-on (Mozilla dev sourced) available to restore this feature to the browser.
• Removal of a few additional Accessibility options.
• Inclusion of an updated version of the Add-on SDK and loader to solve recent issues with SDK/Jetpack add-ons.
• Adjustment of the Quickdial "new tab" feature to have better layout.
• Extension of the address bar shading functionality to more clearly indicate when there is a problem with a secure site (red shading on broken SSL/mixed content).
• New way of handling plugins with control on a per-site basis. An extensive description can be found on the forum.
• Restored/maintained a number of features that were removed from recent Firefox versions:
  • Graphical tab switching feature with quick search (Ctrl+Shift+Tab).
  • Removing the tab bar if there is only one tab present.
  • Options for the loading of images.
  • More recovery options in the Safe Mode startup dialog box than just nuking your profile.
  • Send Link/E-mail Link mail client integration functionality.
• Unification of version numbers. x86 and x64 will from this point forward use the same version number (and icon) without an architecture designation. This will solve potential compatibility issues on new major versions, as well as the superfluous compatibility check when switching between x86 and x64 on the same profile.

Pale Moon 24.0.1

Изменения:

24.0.1 (2013-09-18)

This is a small update to address some small issues with the new major version:

• Fix for unreadable address bar text when visiting a broken or mixed-mode SSL site.
• Fix for an incorrect browser cache size default when first starting the browser. (regression)
  Note: If you have used version 24.0, then please check your Options -> Advanced -> Network tab, and if the cache size is set to "1024", change it back to its default "250" to prevent unnecessary use of disk space and potential slowing of the browser.
• Fix for themes not applying to Private Browsing windows. (regression)
• A small update to the new icon to fix some visual issues with it.
• Reduction of visual friction and CPU usage on some operations by disabling smooth scrolling on it by default (e.g. Home/End keys).

Pale Moon 24.0.2

Changes

This is a small update to address an few issues with standalone images:
* In some cases when having an image open, the User Interface would not properly redraw resulting in blank controls and tab headers.
* In some cases, having an image open would cause 100% processor use on one core.
* Drawing thumbnails of standalone images in the tab headers would often be slow and processor-intensive.

Pale Moon 24.1.2

Изменения:

24.1.2 (2013-11-19)

• Update of the NSPR library to 4.10.2 RTM.
• Update of the Security library (NSS) to 3.15.3 (alternative branch) to pick up a number of fixes.
• Fix (finally) of the menu list of tabs when browser.allTabs.previews is set to false. It would stick the top entry, not properly highlight the selected tab, and would generally be unpleasant and stubborn when tabs were moved or closed. This should all be corrected now.
• Additional feature: Previously, tabs would immediately resize to fill the tab bar when you would close them. Mozilla changed this a (long) while back to cater to "rapidly closing multiple tabs without moving the mouse" and to resize you have to move the mouse out of the tab bar. A good number of Firefox/Pale Moon users don't like this behavior, but the fix to make this configurable was in the end rejected by the Mozilla UX team, so I opted for my own implementation in Pale Moon. New pref: browser.tabs.resize_immediately - set this preference to true to immediately resize other tabs when closing a tab.
  Many thanks to David for doing the required research for this feature!
• Rework of the multi-core routine and removal of OpenMP code and the related library (Microsoft's implementation is old, limited, and won't be updated/improved; in addition it prevented some compiler optimizations that could now be used again).
• The accessibility back-end for "Find as you type" has been disabled completely to prevent this setting from breaking websites with HTML5 input fields (not compatible with FAYT).

Pale Moon 24.2.0

Изменения:

24.2.0 (2013-11-26)

• Update of the new-tab routine: When opening a new tab, focus will now only be on the address bar if you open a blank tab or the Quick Dial page, and focus will be on the page content otherwise (Pale Moon start page or custom URL).
• Compatibility issues between QuickFind/Find-as-you-Type and HTML5 input fields in forms fixed.
• New advanced feature: Later versions of the Firefox code will automatically place the browser window fully on a visible portion of the screen. If you prefer having the browser window positioned partially off-screen and want to prevent this automatic resizing and repositioning when starting a new session, create a new boolean preference in about:config called browser.sessionstore.exactPos and set it to true.
• Updated the localization of the status bar code with the following locales: en-GB, es-MX, es-AR, it, pl.
• Fix for a security issue with script event handlers.

Pale Moon 24.3.0

Changelog:

January 28th, 2014

New build: Atom-optimized Pale Moon:

• After some thorough testing, the Atom/netbook builds are being released as final. These builds are specifically made for PCs with Intel Atom processors.

New feature: the title has been brought back to the title bar:

• When using the Application Menu (Pale Moon button), the title bar of the browser window would be blank. Considering this is wasted space, the page title will now be displayed in the title bar again (it's called a title bar for a reason, after all!). Several different styles have been implemented to cater to different OS version layouts.

Removal of the services tab in the Add-on Manager:

• It will be visible only if someone actually has a service extension installed (similar to how language packs work)

Improvement of UI consistency:

• Removal of illogical selective hiding of the navigation bar and toolbars when in tabs-on-top mode (Add-ons manager, permissions manager, etc.). Browser chrome will now never be hidden.

Bugfix: When using the classic downloads window, downloads in private windows were not shown:

• If you use the classic downloads window and would open a Private Browsing (PB) window, there was no easy way to see which downloads were done in the PB window. When checking the downloads, it would open up the (non-PB) classic downloads window which does not have downloads listed from the PB session. This has been fixed, and PB windows will now open a new tab in the PB window with the downloads from that private session.

Bugfix: Geolocation didn't work in Pale Moon:

• This was caused by the Firefox standard geolocation provider (Google Inc.) now requiring an API key to request geolocation coordinates. Only official Mozilla Firefox builds will have working geolocation from Google.
• Pale Moon has switched provider to IP-API.com to address this issue, with the required re-write of code for the different type of request. More information on the forum.

Bugfix: The "More information" link for blocked add-ons didn't work

Bugfix: Certain scaled fonts would have malformed letters:

• On Vista and later with hardware acceleration enabled, certain letters of some font families would become malformed and difficult to read because of a Direct2D scaling issue. These fonts should now render sharp and more legibly.

Romanian has been added to the status bar localizations

Pale Moon 24.4.0

Изменения:

24.4.0 (2014-03-10)

This update changes the new title behavior slightly and updates a lot of things under-the-hood.

Fixes/changes:

• By popular request: the new page title (when using the Pale Moon App button) will now follow the operating system default alignment (in most cases), meaning it will align left on Windows Vista and Windows 7 by default instead of center. If you want to hide the title or align it differently, please see the FAQ section on the forum.
• Updated status bar code to the latest "non-australis" version and license change to MPL 2.0 to bring it in line with the rest of the browser code, making it an integral part of the source tree to streamline building (also for 3rd parties).
• Changed the way Pale Moon handles file and protocol associations. This will prevent interoperability issues if you have both Firefox and Pale Moon installed on the same system. A side effect is that Pale Moon will ask you (once) to make it the default browser again when you install this update, because of the new associations to be made.
• Changed the search default to DuckDuckGo.
• Added DuckDuckGo logo to about:home.
• Changed some things in the build system, back-end code and build configuration to improve overall performance of the browser.
• Switched to the use of a more compact browser filesystem layout, improving overall start-up speed.
• Precompiled script cache in the application, improving overall start-up speed at the expense of some disk space.
• Added MPS detection for non-windows operating systems (NSPR fallback method) instead of always "1".

Bugfixes ported over:

• bug #968461 - Fix imgStatusTracker.h to build with gcc 4.4.
• bug #912322 - Make sure document.getAnonymous* is no longer available to web content.
• bug #894448 - Move IsChromeOrXBL to xpcpublic.h.

Security fixes:

• bug #963198 - Don't mix up byte-size and array-length.
• bug #966311 - Calculate frame size for stereo wave.
• bug #958867 - Consistent OwningObject handling in IDBFactory::Create methods.
• bug #925747 - Patch file extraction cleanup.
• bug #942152 - Fix error handling on NSS I/O layer.
• bug #960145 - IonMonkey: Don't ignore OSR-like values when computing phi ranges.
• bug #965982 - Clean up client threads before I/O on shutdown.
• bug #950604 - Backport of a small typed array bugfix.
• bug #967341 - Fix up URI management.
• bug #963974 - Null mCurrentCompositeTask after calling Cancel() on it.
