Linux-only update to 26.4.0.1

Unread post by Moonchild » 2016-08-23, 12:27

This Linux-only release is once again using GStreamer 0.10 for video support, which should prevent Pale Moon from crashing when playing some HTML5 videos.

Additional changes/fixes:
  • A blacklist for GStreamer has been implemented and enabled by default (can be disabled with the media.gstreamer.enable-blacklist about:config pref).
  • The flump3dec GStreamer plugin (known to be crashy) & h264parser element (a potential security risk) have been blacklisted.
  • Fixed a couple other GStreamer related crashes.
  • No longer force Link Time Optimization with GCC 6
