Pale Moon 15.1.1 released!

Unread post by Moonchild » 2012-09-20, 10:39

Pale Moon 15.1.1 has been released, which fixes important performance (high CPU usage) and stability (browser hang) issues.

If you are already using the previously published pre-release beta, there is no need to install the final version over it! They are the same binaries.

In detail:
  • Backed out the cairo graphics engine patch by tete009 for faster drawing of html5 games (brush caching). This caused browser hangs in certain situations. The Azure patch is still present.
  • Backed out the multi-threaded box blur patch by tete009 for faster drawing of, among other things, blurred shadows. This caused excessively high CPU usage on some pages/systems, and would make the browser choppy or poorly responsive.
