Public bug reported: Impact ====== webkit2gtk 2.14.1 is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.14 series
https://webkitgtk.org/2016/10/11/webkitgtk2.14.1-released.html Fixes crash bug 1631682 in epiphany and evolution New webkit2gtk releases are often security updates. It would be good for the latest 2.14 to get more real testing in Ubuntu 16.10 before it gets backported to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as a security update. There is no Security Advisory for 2.14 currently, but note that webkitgtk does not issue security advisories until the corresponding OS X Safari update is released. https://webkitgtk.org/security.html Test built on all regular PPA architectures: https://launchpad.net/~jbicha/+archive/ubuntu/arch/+packages (Please don't permanently add that PPA since I use it for packaging experiments) Test Case ========= - Run epiphany-browser, evolution and yelp since those apps currently use webkitgtk's unstable DOM API - Run the ubiquity slideshow. Instructions for doing this without needing to run the installer are at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk/+bug/1618956/comments/4 Regression Potential ==================== Low to Moderate. The diff is too large to be able to review very easily. A few months ago, a stable webkit2gtk update (2.12.4, fixed in 2.12.5) broke the ubiquity slideshow ( bug 1618956 ). This risk is mitigated because we are specifically testing for that. ** Affects: webkit2gtk (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Tags: upgrade-software-version yakkety ** Changed in: webkit2gtk (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: webkit2gtk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632535 Title: Update webkitgtk to 2.14.1 in yakkety To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk/+bug/1632535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
