Phoenix is now officially supported on Debian/Ubuntu & Android! 🎉 Huge thank you to @Modaresisofthard for their incredible work, time, and assistance in making this Debian release possible. 💜

Debian/Ubuntu users can now install Phoenix simply by using the unified installation script. Android users should see here for installation steps & more details.

I'd also like to officially announce a brand new community Matrix Space (Recommended) and Discord Server! Feel free to join if you'd like to discuss Phoenix, need support, have any questions or concerns, would like to help with development... or simply want to chat. :)

• Fixed IPv6 connectivity issues when DNS over HTTPS is enabled by setting network.dns.preferIPv6 to true. - https://codeberg.org/divested/brace/pulls/5

• Enabled Geoclue for GNU/Linux users, so that that they can rely on the Geolocation service their distribution is using, which may be preferable over BeaconDB (our current provider). BeaconDB is still used as a fallback in such cases. Geoclue can be disabled by setting geo.provider.use_geoclue in your about:config to false.

• Disabled middle mouse clicks from pasting clipboard content by default, as it's far too easy to accidentally press & unintentionally paste content (Which can potentially be sensitive...), by setting middlemouse.paste to false. You can re-enable middle mouse clicks pasting clipboard content by setting middlemouse.paste in your about:config to true, though this is not recommended.

• Fixed issues opening HTML files by removing the network.buffer.cache.count & network.buffer.cache.size prefs - yokoffing/Betterfox#279.

• Set apz.overscroll.enabled to true by default to enhance smooth scrolling. You can revert this change by setting apz.overscroll.enabled to false in your about:config.

• Spellcheck is now enabled for both single-line and multi-line text boxes by default. To revert to Firefox's default behavior of only checking single-line text boxes, change layout.spellcheckDefault to 1 in your about:config. https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/issues/33

• Introduced a new specialized config for Element.

• Disabled Network Error Logging by setting network.http.network_error_logging.enabled to false.

• Various other minor tweaks, fixes, & enhancements.
