Opera 9.64 is a recommended security and stability upgrade, incorporating the
Opera Presto 2.1.1 user agent engine. Opera highly recommends all users to
upgrade to Opera 9.64 to take advantage of these improvements.
Changes and improvements since Opera 9.63:
Security:
- Fixed an issue where specially crafted JPEG images could be used to execute
arbitrary code, as reported by Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team
- Fixed an issue where plug-ins could be used to allow cross domain scripting,
as reported by Adam Barth; details will be disclosed at a later date.
- Fixed a moderately severe issue; details will be disclosed at a later date.
- Added Untrusted Rootstore Capability:
- Opera downloads only the detailed information about untrusted (blacklisted)
certificates when they are encountered
- If download fails for certificate information in the list, Opera considers
any certificate matching the ID as untrusted
- Added version conditional fetching of certificate dependencies from an online
repository
- Fixed a problem downloading the CRL (Certificate Revocation List)
- Fixed a problem that could cause SSL to deadlock in one state, hanging the
connection
- Fixed a problem that could cause the incorrect calculation of Certificate IDs
- Implemented Extended Validation (EV) for cross-signed EV Root Certificates
not shipped by default
- Implemented preshipping of the Entrust 2048 CA (Certificate Authority)
- Implemented Root Certificate fetching from an online repository when an
intermediate matches a certificate in the repository
- Improved support for weak encryption when importing .p12 private certificates
- Prevented security information documents from being written to disk
Miscellaneous:
- Fixed a problem which created separate feed notifications; Opera now groups
them together
- Fixed a problem with the backspace key event in the Flash plug-in
- Fixed a problem with inline find when no text was entered, and the Enter key
was pressed

plugins support one of web browsers and can take care of plist (depend on how
you use it) at the same time. I have written a complete document and even show
how it works in the www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins so be sure to read in
there. If there is anything that isn't clear in the document, please feel free
to ask and I will try my best to improvement it.
FYI: GNOME 2.24 depends on this, so it's coming.
BTW: It's based on www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi with heavy modified.

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:

This is due to our version bump on threading libraries.
