Summary

Miro is a free application that turns your computer into an

internet TV video player. This release is still a beta version, which means

that there are some bugs, but we're moving quickly to fix them and will be

releasing bug fixes on a regular basis.

Update to the new upstream Firefox 3.0.7 / XULRunner 1.9.0.7 fixing multiple

security issues: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox-3.0/ This update also contains new

builds of all applications depending on Gecko libraries, built against the new

version. Note: after the updated packages are installed, Firefox must be

restarted for the update to take effect.

* Fri Mar 6 2009 Jan Horak - 1.2.7-5

- Rebuild against newer gecko

* Wed Feb 4 2009 Christopher Aillon - 1.2.7-4

- Rebuild against newer gecko

* Wed Dec 17 2008 Christopher Aillon - 1.2.7-3

- Rebuild against newer gecko

* Wed Nov 12 2008 Christopher Aillon - 1.2.7-2

- Rebuild against newer gecko

* Sun Sep 28 2008 Alex Lancaster - 1.2.7-1

- Update to 1.2.7

- Rebuild against gecko-libs 1.9.0.7 (#464205)

* Fri Aug 22 2008 Michel Alexandre Salim - 1.2.6-3

- Do not create backup files when patching; the backup files get re-added during the build process

* Fri Aug 22 2008 Michel Salim - 1.2.6-2

- Unapply boost patch; boost-1.36 has been backed out for F10

* Fri Aug 22 2008 Michel Salim - 1.2.6-1

- Update to 1.2.6

- Patch for boost API change

* Tue Aug 12 2008 Alex Lancaster - 1.2.4-4

- Rebuild for new boost (fixes broken deps).

* Sat Jul 19 2008 Alex Lancaster - 1.2.4-3

- Rebuild for xulrunner-1.9.0.1

- Unfortunately we probably need to make this an exact match because

Miro uses the unstable API, so a rebuild may need to be done on every

package update to be sure that it will work with new xulrunner updates

* Wed Jun 18 2008 Alex Lancaster - 1.2.4-2

- Rebuild for xulrunner-1.9 final.

* Sun Jun 15 2008 Alex Lancaster - 1.2.4-1

- Update to latest upstream (1.2.4)
