Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Highlights in 2.12.0: * Enable FTL by default in JavaScriptCore for x86_64. * Network process is now used unconditionally. The shared secondary process model is now the same as using the multiple process model and setting a process limit of 1. * Switch to use overlay scrollbars like all other GTK+ widgets and ensure the behavior is consistent with GTK+ too. * Support for windowless NPAPI plugins with no UI in non X11 platforms. * Enable GSS-Negotiate support when available in libsoup. * Improved general performance by better handling glib main loop sources. * New API to save and restore a WebView session. Highlights in 2.12.1: * Fix spotify player. * Improve themed control elements rendering to better match GTK+ widgets. * Make remote web inspector work again. * Fix several crashes and rendering issues. * Fix several memory leaks. * Fix the build in Linux / PowerPC. * Fix detection of S390X and PPC64 architectures. * Fix the build in glibc-based BSD systems * Translation updates: Brazilian Portuguese.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
