webkit2gtk (2.31.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium Starting from the 2.31.x development versions, support for NPAPI plugins has been completely removed from WebKitGTK. This technology is deprecated and has already been removed from all major web browsers. The last important user of this API was the Adobe Flash Player, which reached end of life in December 2020. -- Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com> Fri, 15 Jan 2021 17:31:53 +0100 webkit2gtk (2.20.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium webkit2gtk 2.20.0 contains a security feature named Gigacage that requires a virtual memory region of several gigabytes and is used for variable-length random-access allocations. One consequence of this is that webkit-based applications may not run if their maximum virtual memory size is restricted (e.g. using ulimit -v). If it's not possible to remove the VM size limits the Gigacage can be disabled by setting the environment variable GIGACAGE_ENABLED=no. Keep in mind that you will be making your system less secure by doing this. -- Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com> Wed, 21 Mar 2018 14:14:44 +0200 webkit2gtk (2.10.4+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium Since webkit2gtk 2.10.4, support for GTK+2-based plugins (Adobe Flash, Google Talk/Hangouts) has been moved to a separate package called libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2. This removes the GTK+ 2 dependency from the main libwebkit2gtk package and makes it much smaller, so if you don't want to use any of those plugins you don't need to install this new package. -- Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com> Thu, 12 Nov 2015 20:40:18 +0200
