[Bug 522254] Re: [MASTER] FFe: please sync with upstream version of Gnash .8.7

[Sindhudweep Sarkar]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnash
  
  Gnash 0.8.7 was released. See http://www.gnashdev.org/?q=node/73 for the
  notice.
  
  This package is not a copy of the debian gnash package, but is maintained in launchpad with bzr.
  lp:~sindhudweep-sarkar/gnash/gnash0.8.7packaging has the changes necessary to package gnash 0.8.7
  
  Benefits:
  From upstream:
  "Improvements since the 0.8.6 release are:
  
  * Automatic and spontaneous screenshots support in all GUIs
  * Significant memory savings in parsing large XML trees and in
  some function calls
  * Enhancements in video streaming
  * Non blocking load of bitmaps, movies, data
  * Refactoring to eliminate most static data and get closer to
  re-entrant VM
  * Cygnal now supports multiple network connections, handling
  multiple video streams
  * Cygnal now supports plugins for server side scripting in
  C/C++ "
  
  Gnash developers usually are more interested in bugs from recent
  versions of gnash. Packaging 0.8.7 in an LTS release means there is a
  greater chance that bugs can be relevant and forwarded to upstream.
  
  Risks:
- * ships new shared object library libgnashagg.so.0.0.0 which seems to be mostly a re factoring of the existing shared libraries. The rest of the packaging changes should be benign cleanup and fixes for other bugs.

  A package exists in the gnash team PPA that can be tested.
