  • M109.0.5414.119 c78888b889

    43rd Release - M109.0.5414.119 Stable

    Alex313031 released this 2023-01-27 08:17:39 -03:00 | 598 commits to main since this release

    DEPRECATED. RE-ADDED HEVC PATCH. USE RELEASE ABOVE

    - M109 Maintenance release.
    - HEVC patch removed (for now). If you still need HEVC, stay on the previous release.
    - Icon updated for Linux and Windows, which removes the padding on the outside of the thorium logo to match
    upstream change, the only effect is that the logo is slightly bigger.
    - More LLVM optimization flags
    - Removed the "unsupported OS" infobar banner for Win7/8/8.1 and Ubuntu 16.04, Debian 9, and Arch<2018.12

    NOTE: Going forward, Thorium will be built to more stable versions. This one is based on M109 stable (see below), future versions will be based on the equivalent of "beta" or "dev" channel, rather than tip-o-tree, i.e. "canary" channel.

    IMPORTANT Windows Users! M109 is the last version of Chromium for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 😢 as per Here. I still use and enjoy Windows 7, and so have made a site for it here > https://thorium.rocks/win7 This is why this release is based on stable M109. Over at https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win I will be posting the special builds for Windows 7/8/8.1 there, and updating the links on my win7 page to link to these. Another deviation from standard Thorium releases, is that the windows 7 release will have a special 32 bit SSE2 build for old computers, on top of the SSE3, AVX, and AVX2 builds. There is also a small easter egg on the chrome://version page, to show love for one of Micro$oft's greatest OSes, back when that $ sign was a little smaller, lol.

    M109 will also be getting maintenance releases for the Win7/8/8.1 version, tracking the official chrome stable versions as per https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Windows and I will be attempting to backport patches from M110 into M109, as time and knowledge permits.

    36th Release - M106.0.5197.0 Stable

    Alex313031 released this 2022-07-26 10:48:18 -04:00 | 1505 commits to main since this release

    There are many changes in this release, too long for here, so I made a new page > https://thorium.rocks/misc/history.html on thorium.rocks as a release/version notes and history page.

    Also this release includes Thorium UI Debug Shell V2, for devs and tinkerers.

    Also, I know that scrolling speed can sometimes be frustrating and hard/impossible to adjust on linux, depending on factors like distro, version, drivers installed, and model of mouse/trackpad. SO I made an extension to adjust scrolling. > https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/thorium-scroll-tweaker/dgnjhkngmbcdbdmpbeechgihgijlajkf

    • Side panel, Home, and Refresh button colours changed.

    Attention Users: I have created a 10 question survey to view user satisfaction and how people are installing Thorium. It was created with surverymonkey, and I checked the boxes to anonymize your answers and to allow multiple responses. I would appreciate it if you guys would complete it (should only take ~2 minutes) It is here > https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TJHX7R7

    34th Release - M105.0.5167.0 Stable

    Alex313031 released this 2022-07-10 04:11:47 -04:00 | 1821 commits to main since this release

    • M105 Refresh
    • New chrome://flags flag to use dark mode. You can also do it with cmdline flag --force-dark-mode
    • New chrome//flags flag to disable autoplay. You can also do it with cmdline flag --no-autoplay
    • New chrome://flags flag to allow setting a custom NTP. You can also do it with cmdline flag --custom-ntp=http://www.example.com/
    • New chrome://flags flag to allow removing the Side Panel button. You can also do it with cmdline flag --hide-sidepanel-button

    · Kudos to ungoogled-chromium for the NTP and Side Panel patches, Dark Mode and AutoPlay patches were made by me for Thorium.

    IMPORTANT The install directory is now /opt/chromium.org/thorium instead of /opt/chromium.org/thorium-unstable, so you should do a sudo apt purge thorium-browser-unstable, and then install the new one. (.zip and .appimage users don't need to pay attention to this.)
