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 upstream bugfix release (LP: #1632535)
+ + Fix multiple crash bugs including one affecting epiphany and evolution
(LP: #1631682)
+ * debian/patches/install-minibrowser.patch:
+ + Drop patch, this has been merged upstream.

+ + Set -DENABLE_MINIBROWSER=ON.
+ * debian/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-bin.install:
+ + Install the jsc executable in /usr/bin.
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.

Test built on all regular PPA architectures:

(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.
