Pale Moon forum

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?

That's it. there was no version control before that.. Old source code is up somewhere..

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.

Hardcore!

Now backport css3, es5 and 6, and html5... Also, WHY?

>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).
