All Path for Peple

A major update to the browser, enforcing a figure of ocular and under - the - hood varieties.

Security fixes:
• Bug %23745580 Thebes: handle bad results from Core Text shaping more robustly.
• Bug %23744541 XPCOM i/o: Charset conversion issue.
• Bug %23748613 javascript: Scope vulnerability
• Bug %23747688 Layout engine: Drop references for all destroyed frames
• Security update of the included MSVC runtime libraries

Sweetenings and sterilizes:
• Dynamic smooth scrolling algorithm for mouse/keyboard implemented. Smooth scrolling is now also enabled by default.
• Update to the status bar code to fix pop-up status not switching sides on mouse-over, as well as using a safer allocation/destruction mechanism for controls (potentially preventing memory leaks).
• Fixed: cache size override on new profiles (would be set to 1GB instead of the application default of 200MB). Bug 20120512-GN.

• Addition of a number of preferences in the Tabs category of the options dialog box:
&%239702; A checkbox for inserting related tabs next to the current tab when opening a link;
&%239702; A checkbox for closing the browser window when the last tab is closed;
&%239702; A selection for new tabs: Choose from a blank page, the Pale Moon start page or the Quickdial page.

• Some slight color has been re-introduced in the navigation elements to improve clarity of the UI.
• Disabled an image decoding library with hazardous code. This has no impact on the browser&%23039;s visualize decrypting capablenesses or operation equally alternative methods for decrypting are applied by default.
• Some changes to memory handling which potentially keep memory use better within bounds.
• A change to the build environment to improve stability of javascript. Note that this is a trade-off and may result in a slight drop in synthetic benchmarking performance of the browser compared to the previous version of Pale Moon. The impact of this on overall real-world performance of the browser is negligible.
