XXX: that's probably needs XXX: further investigation the `: 6' should
XXX: be probably `: 7')
Changes:
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.3
=================
- Many improvements and fixes for video playback with media source
extensions (MSE), which improve the user experience across the board,
and in particular for playback of WebM videos.
- Fix a memory leak during media playback when using playbin3.
- Fix portions of Web views not being rendered after resizing.
- Fix Resource Timing reporting for <iframe> elements.
- Fix the build with the remote Web Inspector disabled.
- Fix the build on ARMv7 with NEON extensions.
- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
On NetBSD there is no <sys/sysinfo.h> but we can use hw.usermem64.
This should address WebKitGTK+ support for NetBSD ports where
USE_SYSTEM_MALLOC is by default OFF.
Side-note: on NetBSD/amd64 -current when building with -DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=ON
both SunSpider and JetStream benchmarks shows a very little performance penalty,
so also remove the `-DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=ON' commented out CMAKE_ARGS (i.e. when
possible just use the preferred malloc).
pkgsrc changes:
- Bump GCC_REQD to 6 (now gcc 6.0.0 or newer is needed)
- Add NetBSD support for JavaScript JIT on x86_64, i386, arm,
aarch64 and mips
- Add WebKitWebProcess and jsc to NOT_PAX_MPROTECT_SAFE.
At least on NetBSD/amd64, running SunSpider 1.0.2 JavaScript Benchmark
(<https://webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html>) with MiniBrowser
before `paxctl +m'-ing them needed:
Total: 1006.9ms +/- 0.7%
...while after `paxctl +m'-ing them:
Total: 322.3ms +/- 3.0%
(Probably EACCESS due PaX MPROTECT are handled gracefully and
silently instead of failing hard at runtime.)
Please also note that webkit-gtk browsers should not need any
NOT_PAX_MPROTECT_SAFE because WebKitWebProcess is used and already
have that.
- Improve handling of `webkit-jit' by introducing a
WEBKIT_JIT_MACHINE_PLATFORMS list that contain all MACHINE_PLATFORMs
triplets that have `webkit-jit' option as suggested one.
- Always use OS(...) and BOS(...) macros instead of __Os__ macros for
consistency with webkit code.
- Add definition for BOS(SOLARIS) and OS(SOLARIS) and add it to the
OS(UNIX) OSes list.
- Limit patch-Source_JavaScriptCore_jit_ExecutableAllocator.cpp to
OpenBSD. It is no longer present in FreeBSD ports and it is not
problematic in NetBSD.
- Remove no longer needed patch-Source_WTF_wtf_ThreadSpecific.h:
NetBSD 5.x was already part of NOT_FOR_PLATFORM.
- Sync patch-CMakeLists.txt with FreeBSD ports.
Please note that this also removes WTF_CPU_SPARC64 definition that was
unused.
- madvise(2) on {Free,DragonFly,Net,Open}BSD supports MADV_FREE and
MADV_DONTNEED flags. Define the corresponding HAVE_* via
patch-Source_WTF_wtf_Platform.h.
- Use globbing for REPLACE_{PERL,PYTHON} where possible.
Changes:
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.2
=================
- Several fixes for video playback with media source extensions (MSE).
This allows using WebM support for YouTube, which no longer works through
regular video source. Note that MSE is still disabled by default and
webkit_settings_set_enable_mediasource() has to be used to enable the
feature.
- Fix the build when only Wayland support is enabled and X11 headers are
not available.

Based on the wip package mostly worked on by leot@
with support by yhardy and a host of others.
pkgsrc changes:
- Add GCC_REQD to 5.0 as requested by webkit-gtk. Previously we had local
kludges/patches to disable IndexedDB support. Unfortunately in the last
releases is not so trivial to keep such patches so bump GCC_REQD as requested
by upstream to avoid further problems.
- Avoid `-DUSE_SYSTEM_MALLOC=ON'. It is no longer supported, at least on
NetBSD/amd64 due unsupported part of sysinfo() in Source/WTF/wtf/RAMSize.cpp
(add an XXX comment to document that)
- Add an `introspection' option (enabled by default) to permit to build
of webkit-gtk without gobject-introspection.
- Add patches to fix support for ppc, add support for sparc64.
From FreeBSD and OpenBSD ports.
- Address `Error sending IPC message: Message too long' that appears at least
on NetBSD via
patches/patch-Source_WebKit_Platform_IPC_unix_ConnectionUnix.cpp.
