Pre-2014 GitGub repository?
I was looking in the MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon commit log and found that it began in 2014: "Create new repo after line endings mishap." What happened, and where can I find older commits?

Huh, okay. Do you know what the "line endings mishap" was? It sounds mysterious...
Also, where should I look for the 20.3 source code?

You can find old source code from the link on the source code web page.
The line endings mishap didn't mean anything beyond that -- when initially setting up the version control, the source tree was set to automatically have line endings converted between Windows and Unix-style (as is the default for git) but that's not good for our tree. So, shortly after the initial commit it was erased and re-done with the correct settings.

just built Pale Moon 3.6.32 for GNU/Linux (gcc 6.3.0). after some cosmetic source code fixes, it builds and works!

>Also, WHY?
kick me if i know! ;-) i just thought: "hey, it will be fun to try to build that. let's see how it will break!" and... it won't. sure, i had to do some cosmetic fixes (like changing `*_METHODIMP` to `*_METHOD` in class definitions, do "chmod +x" on some scripts, and so on), turn off modern misoptimisations ("-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-strict-overflow -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fwrapv"), and there are TONS of warnings, but otherwise -- it works!
also, it already supports HTML5 (as it was in 2012).
