45.0
A major release!
- Many updates to JavaScript and Layout engine
- PDF display re-instantiated and fixed
- Updates to Audio and Video
- Many security patches
- Build updates and improved compatibility with recent Clang, GCC
- NetBSD/PPC now builds and works!
- Build system updates - in case you get crashes with GCC check optimizations
- GTK3 is supported and default, but GTK2 still looks best, so
add --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 - JXR support has been removed. It was unreliable and quite unused anyway
However PPC Linux stopped working on Debian builds but fails to start, see #210
