- Fix LP: #1399195 - Improve network callback event tests
- Fix LP: #1415662 - Cancelling a network request in onBeforeRedirect has
no effect
- Fix LP: #1422920 - Add LocationBarController.show(),
LocationBarController.hide() and LocationBarController.animated
- Fix LP: #1433472 - navigator.language doesn't work
- Fix LP: #1435418 - Clean up the classes related to the private interfaces
between the core library and the QtQuick library, making it more obvious
where code should live
- Fix LP: #1438902 - Enable webgl on mako
- Fix LP: #1446864 - OxideQQuickScriptMessage::reply doesn't work with
Qt 5.4
- Use the simple backend for the network cache
- Add EGLFS QPA support
- Fix cross-compiling armhf builds on x86
- Fix LP: #1442398 - Invalid read in CompositorOutputSurfaceGL
- Fix LP: #1442458 - Minimum page scale shouldn't be 1 on mobile
form-factors
- Fix LP: #1400372 - Keyboard re-appears in webbrowser after dismissing
- Fix LP: #1429135 - webbrowser-app crashed with SIGSEGV in
XQueryExtension() on Unity 8 desktop
- Fix LP: #1411159 - Proper fix for shutdown crash in
content::GpuChannelHost::Send, removing the workaround from the 1.5
branch
- Fix LP: #1277659 - Add WebContext.maxCacheSizeHint property, to allow
applications some control over the network cache size
- Fix LP: #1427882 - TextureRefHolder will crash if the context is lost
- Fix LP: #1430478 - Disable the GPU shader cache. Its memory footprint
makes it inappropriate on mobile devices and it writes the cache to the
current working directory if WebContext.dataPath isn't set
- Set the pulse audio media role so that audio output can take part in
pulse-level stream arbitration
- Disable webcore debug symbols and link with --no-keep-files-mapped
on native x86 builds because of linker OOM
- Add OXIDE_ENABLE_GPU_DEBUGGING environment variable, which corresponds
to --enable-gpu-debugging in Chrome
- Fix renderer crash in debug builds when location bar height is set to
zero
- Remove a spurious DCHECK that fires sometimes when a render process dies
- Add resources and strings required for built-in webui (eg, chrome://gpu/)
- Add OXIDE_ENABLE_GPU_SERVICE_LOGGING environment variable, which
corresponds to --enable-gpu-service-logging in Chrome
- Miscellaneous fixes for media-hub audio playback
- Use base::ThreadRestrictions::ScopedAllowIO when constructing
net::HttpCache, as that makes use of base::CPU which does IO on Arm.
Fixes a debug-mode startup abort
- Various component build fixes
- Don't statically link base in to oxide-renderer just to call
SetReleaseFreeMemoryFunction. Instead, expose an API from oxide-core to
allow oxide-renderer to call this without pulling in its own copy of base
- Only disable use of EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness and
GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness when the application provides a share
context that hasn't been created with these extensions
- Add OXIDE_DISABLE_GPU_DRIVER_BUG_WORKAROUNDS environment variable
- Drop support for building with Qt < 5.2
- Use net::URLRequest::IsHandledProtocol for checking if a scheme is
builtin
- Refactor how the GL implementation is selected, simplifying the code.
Also add OXIDE_DISABLE_GPU and OXIDE_DISABLE_GPU_COMPOSITING environment
variables for disabling all GPU features or GPU compositing respectively
