Mathwiz Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 8 hours ago, VistaLover said: Well, each Saturday's releases do come with a changelog (Release Notes) 8 hours ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: I don't read them. 99% of them make ZERO sense to me. I wish they were in a "hide/show" toggle-box because I kinda see them as a pain to scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll I second that motion. The change log is usually quite long and very technical; hard to understand even for those of us who dabble in programming. Putting it in a spoiler tag would let us refer to it if need be but save our scroll wheels if not.... Even better would be a plain-language "executive summary" of the changes, but I'm sure that's out of the question. It would have to come from upstream....

Merge with the existing Solaris fix, by folding Solaris into the Linux/BSD section. Add Apple Silicon (ARM64) support. This should also address Issue #1884 by moving the offending code into assembly. (fd04893c3) - Issue #1509 - Invalidate previous result when datalist is changed. (046b81d06) No official Pale-Moon changes picked since my last build. No official Basilisk changes picked since my last build. My changes picked since my last build: - gmp: replace preprocessor directives with AppConstants conditions (ef6b9353a) - pref: add CSS grid pref (297adbdb2) * Notice: From now on, UXP rev will point to `custom` branch of my UXP repo instead of MCP UXP repo, while "official UXP changes" shows only `tracking` branch changes. 6

I wish they were in a "hide/show" toggle-box because I kinda see them as a pain to scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll I second that motion. The change log is usually quite long and very technical; hard to understand even for those of us who dabble in programming. Putting it in a spoiler tag would let us refer to it if need be but save our scroll wheels if not.... Even better would be a plain-language "executive summary" of the changes, but I'm sure that's out of the question. It would have to come from upstream.... It's a commit log, not something of vast interest to end users. Imagine Ubuntu folks posting commit logs of all software it ships at release. Upstream does write changelogs, eg. http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml But what is there to write about what are basically "test" releases compiled from trunk code? Changelogs are written when you release stable and tested code. We never give out nightly builds to customers where I work. When there's something important, relevant code is merged into the latest stable release and intermediate release is made. 1

Yes, for latest UXP builds it's a transcript from: https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/compare/e207b5a...7747508 Code imported from "upstream" issues has the corresponding issue number clearly indicated, e.g. "Issue #1509 - Invalidate previous result when datalist is changed." One can find more details regarding that issue (and the "bugs" it potentially fixes... or not ) by looking it up in the upstream issue tracker, e.g. https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1509 Obviously, much of this is "Greek" () to most, non-coder, users, but surely "big" things, like support for optional chaining operator (?.), are cleary marked ; all one needs do is simply "comb" that commit log for resolved bugs that would positively affect one's own worklow...

FWIW/OTOH, even Mozilla go into the trouble (?) of composing some form of "Release Notes" for their Firefox Nightly "trunk" builds (updated twice over the course of 24h) in, what @Mathwiz called, a plain-language "executive summary" of changes, e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/100.0a1/releasenotes/ with the "disclaimer": Quote Firefox Nightly gets updated every day and as a consequence, the release notes for the Nightly channel are updated continuously to reflect features that have reached sufficient maturity to benefit from community feedback and bug reports. Warning: Features listed here may or may not make a final release of Firefox. ; a separate set of "Release Notes" is also available for pure developers/coders: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/100 Edited May 16, 2022 by VistaLover 1
NotHereToPlayGames Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 I think the bigger point is whether they should be within "spoiler" tags or not. Would reduce a TON of scrolling and make the thread more "efficient". But on the other hand, I have seen the "spoiler" tag not really work correctly over the years (but the forum software has been updated at least twice since then, that I'm aware of).

I was tired and not making much sense. 99,99% of the time I don't really do "nightlies", "betas", "auroras", "canaries", "Windows Insiders" etc. etc. Software in general changes way too often too fast, even looking only at normal releases. Too much crap to keep up with.

So ... never mind? I'm so confused.... This issue has me even more puzzled than ever. Here's what I've run into so far: I still see the problem in the latest St 55 version. On my home PC running Windows 7, both the 32 and 64 bit versions of St 55 exhibit the problem, regardless of profile, and even in "safe mode" (add-ons disabled). On my work PC, I tested the 64 bit version under Windows 7 and the 32 bit version under Windows XP. Both worked fine. The screen shot above was from my work PC. All versions (working and not) were tested with @looking4awayout's UOC patch, but removing it turned out to have no effect either. My home PC has text set at 150% while my work PC is at the default 100%. But setting my home PC text size to 100% had no effect either. I was able to regain the button icons on my home PC by replacing basilisk.exe, xul.dll, and a couple of .ini files, with the 4/29 versions of those files. Of course, that reverts many of the fixes @roytam1 made since 4/29, so it's definitely not a good solution. Reverting other files, without reverting those, doesn't help (I tried them all). Conclusion: something about my home PC, in conjunction with one of the many changes made between 4/29 and 5/6, causes this problem. Nothing else seems to matter. My home PC has an oldish AMD 2-core CPU with an integrated ATI Radeon GPU. My work PC is a Dell with a slightly newer Intel 4-core CPU; not sure about the GPU. BTW, I consider myself lucky that reverting files worked at all; I was just trying to narrow down the location of the problem.

Did you alter any of the home PC fonts? ie, experiment with "emoji's" ? Edited May 15, 2022 by NotHereToPlayGames 1

No, please not SPOILER! That tends to be hidden completely for old browsers, and not sure if also hindering page-search or archiving. Perhaps something else - "code"? But that increases the size yet more, using ultrawide Courier-fonts. Another...? (That said, I'd be surprised if RT changes anything at all only for reading convenience) But being a selfhelper, couldn't resist playing a bit now ;-) Tweak-1: This CSS filters all comments written by RT, then limits all single P-elements to a max height and if too long, shows a scrollbar: body.ipsApp article.ipsComment div[data-quotedata*='roytam1'] div.cPost_contentWrap p{ max-height: 400px !important; overflow-y: auto !important; } CSS-variations for example: remove author-requirement, or limit complete-comment height instead of single P-elements Tweak-2: This JAVASCRIPT (bookmarklet?) filters all comments written by RT, but (unlike above) takes the complete comment text. Then checks if the TEXT "- Bug " is contained more often than 8x. Only THOSE comments get limited with a scrollbar: var c="body.ipsApp article.ipsComment div[data-quotedata*='roytam1']"; var j, el, lg0, lg2, x, LIST=document.querySelectorAll(c); for (j=0; j < LIST.length; j++){ el=LIST[ j].querySelector("div[data-role='commentContent']"); lg0=el.textContent.length; lg2=el.textContent.replace(/- Bug /gi, '').length; x =(lg0 - lg2)/6; if (x > 8) { el.style.maxHeight='400px'; void(el.style.overflow='auto'); /* just for TESTING!
