[新聞] Waterfox 55.2更新 開發路線釋出

Waterfox 55.2 update and roadmap released
https://www.ghacks.net/2017/10/04/waterfox-55-2-update-and-roadmap-released/


    A new version of the Waterfox web browser, Waterfox 55.2 was
    released today paving the way for keeping legacy add-on support in
     the web browser.

    The web browser uses its own profile directory in that version. It
     used the same location that Firefox uses up until that version.

    Existing users will have most of their settings and data migrated
    to the new user profile location. The lead developer Alex Kontos
    notes that the process may reset some settings and add-ons
    however.

    NOTE: SOME SETTINGS (INCLUDING ADD-ONS) MAY BE RESET!
    Unfortunately due to the way the profile import works, this was
    necessary. You CAN change which profile to use, the same way as
    Firefox, if you’d like to use the old location. There will be
    teething issues, please be patient and just report any issues you
    do have, I will try my best to have them resolved.

    The browser displays a "welcome to the new Watefox" screen during
    setup that explains to users that Waterfox uses its own profile
    location now. The screen is used to import data from browsers,
    Firefox for instance but also Chrome or Internet Explorer.

    The location of the new profile folder is
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Waterfox\Profiles\ on Windows.

    Or in more general terms:

        Windows: %APPDATA%\Waterfox
        Linux: ~/.waterfox/
        Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Waterfox

    Note that only one profile is imported during setup. The developer
     suggests that you edit the profile.ini file in the new Waterfox
    profile location if that is the case to continue using these other
     profiles.

    Users should expect some issues during this part of the
    development phase. Some add-ons may be disabled, and some settings
     changed as part of this. The developer hopes however that this
    will be resolved in future updates.

    Another major change of Waterfox 55.2.0 is that the browser is now
     also available for Android. You can download the APK version from
     the developer website. Note that there is a browser of the same
    name on Google Play that is not related to this Waterfox for
    Android web browser.

    Waterfox 55.2.0 includes all security patches that Mozilla
    released in Firefox 56 and Firefox 52.4 ESR.

    The developer published a work in progress roadmap that will be
    extended once Waterfox 56.0 is released.  The release is planned
    to launch mid to end October 2017, and will remain an ESR version
    for the time being. This means no feature updates from Firefox
    anymore, but security patches.

    Work on a modified version of Waterfox continues to continue
    support for XUL, XPCOM and other legacy technologies that Mozilla
    dropped or plans to drop in regards to add-ons.
