Runtime detection would be nice to have, but for now this is the same
state as in 5.8. NEON is also not runtime-detected there. The x86_64 and
aarch64 builds will get the SIMD optimizations, the i686 and armv7hl
ones won't for now.
* add missing configs for the blink_x86_sse2 source set in
src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/BUILD.gn
* in src/core/core_module.pro, when processing NINJA_SOLIBS, ignore the
dummy convert_dict shared library used only to get a .pri file
Instead of relying on base/cpu.h, copy its implementation of __cpuid for
GCC/Clang (from base/cpu.cc) and use the original SSE2 detection code
from ANGLE using __cpuid.
- Build the SSE2 code in a separate compilation unit on i686.
- Make supportsSSE2() return always true rather than always false on
x86_64.
- Make supportsSSE2() call the detection code from base/cpu.h instead of
always returning false on i686.
* Sat Jun 10 2017 Kevin Kofler <Kevin@tigcc.ticalc.org> - 5.9.0-1
- Update to 5.9.0
- Update version numbers of bundled stuff
- Use bundled libsrtp and protobuf, Chromium dropped unbundling support for them
- Add missing Provides: bundled(hunspell) for the spellchecking added in 5.8
- Rebase linux-pri, no-neon, system-icu-utf, no-sse2, arm-fpu-fix,
openmax-dl-neon and webrtc-neon-detect patches (port to GN)
- Sync system-nspr-prtime patch with Debian (they ported it to GN)
- Rebase fix-extractcflag patch
- Restore NEON runtime detection in Skia, drop old skia-neon patch (rewritten)
- Drop webrtc-neon, v8-gcc7, pdfium-gcc7, wtf-gcc7, fix-open-in-new-tab and
fix-dead-keys patches, fixed upstream
- Update system libvpx/libwebp version requirements (libvpx now F25+ only)
- Drop the flag hacks (-g1 -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks) that are fixed
upstream, force -g2 on x86_64 instead
