Preparing for 2.12.0

WebkitGtk+ 2.12.0 will be the next release in the stable series (following 2.10.x). We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc. We branched at r 196806 (19/02/16).

When filing bugs (​http://bugs.webkit.org) against stable release, please prefix them with "[GTK] [Stable]" to ensure they are addressed with high priority. Also, running a debug build and including stack traces is highly encouraged. (Don't use "[Stable]" if the bug also applies to master, though.)

To get the stable branch code, simply check out ​http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.12

Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the branch, so be sure to stay up to date. Thanks for your help!

Proposed merges for 2.12.3

  • ​https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/200188 AX: [ATK] We need to be smarter about flattening and the accessible text implementation
  • ​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153956 REGRESSION(r196222): [AX][GTK] accessibility/gtk/caret-offsets.html failing
    (The reason for including this is because in the process of fixing the Layout-Test-only failure, I discovered and fixed a bug in the caret-moved event for list items which would cause Orca to speak the wrong character during caret navigation.)
  • r200939
  • bug #135972
  • ​https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/197886 [cmake] Fixed All-in-One build
  • ​https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/201072 AX: [ATK] Use WebCore Accessibility's AccessibilityText for AtkObject name and description
    This change brings us into better compliance with a couple of W3C specs and fixes several bugs in which the accessible name of objects was missing or broken. Because Orca doesn't always know when/if the accessible name is broken, having this fix is desirable.
  • ​https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/200677 [GTK] accessibility/aria-readonly.html is failing
    Fixing this failing test was done by adding support for ATK_STATE_READ_ONLY, ATK_STATE_CHECKABLE, and correcting some bugs associated with the exposure of ATK_STATE_EDITABLE. Because Orca doesn't always know when/if the accessible state set isn't quite right, having this fix is desirable.
  • ​https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/201087 [GTK] accessibility/meter-element.html is failing
    The reason the test was failing is due to lack of implementation. Also, as part of the fix, we are now exposing the aria-valuetext value which had not previously been exposed. Because aria-valuetext is used on a number of ARIA widget roles, and because meters should be accessible, this fix is desirable.

How to add a webkit-2.12 branch to existing git-svn clone

If you have already cloned ​git://git.webkit.org/WebKit.git, it only contains a git-svn clone of the svn trunk. To add webkit-2.12 branch to there, add a new remote to .git/config: 

[svn-remote "webkit-2.12"]
    url = http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-2.12
    fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-webkit-2.12

and run the following commands: 

git svn fetch webkit-2.12 -r 196806
git branch webkit-2.12 git-svn-webkit-2.12
git checkout webkit-2.12
git svn rebase
