Hi,
I've discussed with webkitgtk maintainers about api compatable issues on
https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-gtk/2023-March/003887.html
WebKitGTK 2.38.x is backwards compatible with 2.36.x, you can safely update
without needing to change applications. In general, we always keep the API and
ABI backwards compatible.
Note that the current stable releases (2.40.x) introduce a new API level
when using GTK4, but I suppose this is not a problem because most likely you
are still using GTK3
I suggest we apply the update in mickledore too which solves lots of
CVEs.
Hi Steve,
I have no idea why the cover-letter is not in the same thread with the
patch.
So according to the reply from webkitgtk maintainer, would you like to
re-consider
to cherry-pick the commit to mickledore, please?
Sorry, still not possible, this is a major release bump that adds
features and APIs. Please see:
https://wpewebkit.org/release/wpewebkit-2.40.0.html
We do need to be careful but upstream is saying that:
"WebKitGTK 2.40.x is backwards-compatible as well and that will
remain true indefinitely,
as long as you continue to build the same API version [2]. "
I'd like a simple way to measure if that's true but I'm not sure one exists.
Kai,
Have you looked at the source diff to understand how upstream is able to
introduce
a new API yet enable building the old one?
Kai, Steve,
Should we investigate using the flags suggested:
"is still possible to build the old 1.0 API using |-USE_SOUP2=ON|,
or the 1.1 API using |-DENABLE_WPE_1_1_API=ON|. "

or do we really have to backport patches to 2.38.x ?
