Regarding the latest update...

General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.

Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

Did you reach out to them? If so, I'm glad that they responded. Or did they do it on their own?

I reached out to them by creating an issue on their repo.

Off-topic:
Speaking of the Financial Times, I found this site to be pretty informative.

From the usage notes:
Should be "From the release notes:"

Some people may wonder where these notes are written. It's important to use the correct terminology to avoid ambiguity and confusion.

Thanks for that catch. I have corrected the original post.

To all intents and purposes, that was a slip of the finger, not intended phrasing. I use the words "usage notes" a lot elsewhere, so it was more or less a force of habit.

But, again, thanks for catching that. I wouldn't have gone back and noticed it otherwise.
