When I go to their download page, what's there is a 2.53.18.b1(beta). I bet they put it up as soon as it drops the "b".

steveo, it's all yours if you want it. Otherwise, I'll wait for the compiled binaries to show up at mozilla.
Pale Moon 33.3.0 released with a breaking changes - official builds now requires CPUs with AWX, and there no official builds for CPUs with SSE2: https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtmlStevo wrote: Mon Feb 05, 2024 1:18 pm Pale Moon 33.0.0 just made it into the MX 21 repo yesterday, after I had some trouble with the checksums that the OBS was generating for the finished builds.

Maybe it's a Windows thing (see below). They updated their requirements though, because if they didn't they would "leave a lot of performance on the table".Stevo wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2024 6:25 pm We also haven't supported sse2 in it for lo these many years...is there a pressing need for it now?
Minimum requirements for official builds:
32-bit (Windows only): A processor with at least SSE2 support (any CPU that is not museum-grade should be fine).
64-bit: A processor with at least AVX support. Almost all modern processors from the last decade support this.
At least 2 GB of free RAM.
While it may be possible to run it in limited fashion on less RAM, it isn't recommended as memory pressure will cause a lot of performance loss and may cause crashes.
A reasonable screen size (720p or higher).
I tried latest official builds of Pale Moon 33.3.0 on my old PC:Stevo wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2024 6:25 pm Since MX 21 and 23 xfce are GTK+ 3, and I've built the last couple versions in our repos as such, why GTK+ 2?

But MX-23 package of Pale Moon 33.2.1 (amd64, GTk3) works on my PC, how it could be if it is not SSE2 build and my CPU is SSE2 only?Stevo wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2024 6:25 pm We also haven't supported sse2 in it for lo these many years...
SSE2 build was the default build, until 33.3.0 (now the default is AVX)
OK, I guess it now has to be specially enabled in the configuration?oops wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 8:22 amSSE2 build was the default build, until 33.3.0 (now the default is AVX)
For better compatibility into MX, and for most people, SSE (2-3-4 ?) is better than AVX or AVX2, AVX512, etc. (with the old PCs)Stevo wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 10:52 am ...
