M114
Upstream Changes
- Chromium 114 has even better support for WebGPU than 113. For more info about this, see the previous release notes.
- V8 (Chromium's JavaScript engine) has added some new optimizations to the Maglev compiler. A noticeable difference in JIT javascript compilation can be seen between Chromium 113 and 114. Interesting read here > https://blog.chromium.org/2023/06/how-chrome-achieved-high-scores-on.html Thanks @midzer for telling me about this.
Thorium Changes
- libjxl updated to 0.8.2 (Adds better transparency/alpha support) Thanks @gz83 for helping me with this.
- libhighway updated to 1.0.4 (Minor SIMD upgrade)
- HEVC and AC3 support have been restored (as promised)
- More Android ARM64 optimizations
- New "media foundation" widevine path on Windows by using the
enable_media_foundation_widevine_cdm = trueargs.gn flag (should hopefully fix Alex313031/Thorium-Win#48 and Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2#84) - Includes Thorium Shell (Content Shell)
- Includes system webview, if you wanna change yours from the stock config to a thorium optimized one. Note: Not every phone will allow you to change this, due to some manufacturers putting restrictions on this the same way some restrict rooting, bootloader settings, or ADB options. Also note that there is no 64 bit system webview, as even on 64 bit devices the webview is always 32 bit. Google is working to change this. It was originally so for compatibility, for plugins and for 32 bit apps on 64 bit devices to still be able to hook into the system webviews api to i.e. open a login screen for example.
