Pale Moon 27 will offer better JavaScript support in regards to ECMAScript 6 standard compatibility.Pale Moon 27.0 positive changesĪs far as positive changes are concerned, there are quite a few: Pale Moon 26.x supported these extensions. Probably the biggest change of them all is that Pale Moon won't support Jetpack or add-on SDK extensions any longer. The team notes that previous translations and language packs won't work, but that localization will be made available at a later point in time.Īlso, some complete themes of Firefox that worked in the past may not be compatible with the new version of Pale Moon 27. This means that Pale Moon 27 won't run on Windows XP or Server 2003 systems.Īnother change that is affecting some users is that Pale Moon 27 will only be available in English initially. The Atom hardware version, one option for XP users to continue using Pale Moon, won't be made available as well anymore. What was previously still possible with a special compatibility build, can't be done anymore. The new engine and platform simply isn't geared to handle the ancient NT5 kernel and APIs any longer. Pale Moon 27 will drop support for Windows XP and Server 2003. Most changes are positive, and there are only a few changes that can be seen as negative but only for a limited number of users. The team plans to release Pale Moon 27 in November if development progresses along nicely.Ī new forum post on the official Pale Moon forum by Moonchild, the head of the Pale Moon team, lists some of the upcoming changes of the new browser version. Anyone interested can download it from the WIP page for 32-bit or 64-bit versions of windows or Linux. Pale Moon 27 is currently available as a beta release. So, an upgrade from Pale Moon 26.x to 27.0 is a major update in many regards, while the same cannot be said for Firefox version upgrades as the integer-part increases on a regular basis regardless of what the update brings along with it. As you may know, the Pale Moon team uses a different versioning scheme than Mozilla as it ups the integer part (characteristic) of the version only when major versions are released, and otherwise only the fractional-part (mantissa).
