** Description changed: Impact ====== webkit2gtk 2.14.2 is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.14 series https://webkitgtk.org/2016/11/03/webkitgtk2.14.2-released.html + Same justification as bug 1632535 ... - Same justification as bug 1632535. It's likely that the 2.14 series contains unannounced security fixes that will be not be backported to previous stable releases. Once the next Security Advisory is posted, we will be looking into releasing 2.14 to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It's good to get more real-world testing from Ubuntu 16.10 users first. Plus it fixes some bugs affecting 16.10. + https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2016-0006.html was just posted. New + security fixes are not backported to previous stable releases, so I + believe we will be updating Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the 2.14 series like + we did with the 2.12 series recently. - https://webkitgtk.org/security.html + Because of the non-trivial regression potential, it's good to get some + real-world testing first. Plus it fixes some bugs affecting 16.10. 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 + I have done this testing from my PPA. Please don't permanently add this + PPA to your system as I use it for a variety of packaging experiments. + + https://launchpad.net/~jbicha/+archive/ubuntu/arch/ + 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 now.
