Nothing too special this release, just your standard Chromium upgrade.
However, five things:
- Fixed the profile picker crash, which would cause Thorium to just segfault and crash without warning or any useful log output if you tried to add a new profile, OR if you had multiple profiles already added. This is my fault and I was being a dummy last release. Let me explain: Last release notes I said "Enabled AutoPlay toggle in Settings, I previously had it disabled due to a crash". Well I literally left myself a comment line to remind me what the crash was > 5373a94#diff-67eea7cc5329808ed94c726a817ead2b1ac9a0d35a01e6360f553f7e63703572R1116 Yet I just tested to make sure the browser didn't crash on startup (which it wouldn't on my end because I only use one profile). I forgot to check by making a new profile(s). Thus, I declared the bug "fixed" when it really wasn't, and promptly got spammed with a bunch of sad people who's browsers were crashing. This was a stupid mistake on my part, and I'm sorry to anyone whos workflows got interrupted and the frustration that people were having. I will probably leave this setting disabled indefinitely, since I already added a chrome://flags flag to control this behavior anyway >
chrome://flags/#autoplay-policyFixes #577, #564, #596, #586, #570, Alex313031/Thorium-MacOS#45, #575, #572, #599, Alex313031/Thorium-Win#176, Alex313031/Thorium-Win#169, and Alex313031/Thorium-MacOS#42 - Disabled some more "Privacy Sandbox" bullcrap
- Added a patch from Ungoogled to disable captive portal detection. Note this won't work in all cases. Fixes #528
- This release is actually ahead of the version in official stable Chrome right now (.128 minor rev), as I spotted a nice security fix in V8 that was not landed until the .132 minor revision.
- Thorium now installs the "dev" build of UBlock Origin (to better block YouTube ads)
Note: In case some people are confused, the ones with just "_amd64" or "_x64" at the end are the normal AVX releases. I don't name them with "AVX" at the end to keep the naming scheme the same as before I conglomerated the AVX2 and SSE3 repos, AND because we need it named this way for the deb repo. Again, as per last release, and I'm noting it again this release, if the deb repo suddenly stopped working for you, it's because we moved to a new server. Follow the new instructions on the site > https://thorium.rocks/#installation (which simply deletes the old thorium.list if it exists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and re-downloads the new one).
