Minor version security updates

[nixith]

Most of the glide releases I've seen have been with feature updates, but it might be a good idea to start rolling releases out for major FF versions / security updates. It's currently on 1.49.0b8. Since that release, I think there's been a lot (I think at least 350) CVEs published for firefox.

Yeah really sorry for the delayed release, I've been dealing with some quite distracting life changes recently but I am working on a release right now.

It's blocked on making CI builds succeed... For some reason Apple love to brick the download URLs for older SDK versions 🙃 so it'll just take some time to figure things out, hoping to have a release out today.

Cool tysm!

I also didn't forget about the nix auto update stuff, school just had me swamped this semester. I'll get back to work on that soon:tm:

FYI apparently the tor project's solution for this was to get it from the internet archive. IDK what version of the SDK they're using but it might be worth checking their source to find the link for it.

Thank you, yeah I ended up just essentially "vendoring" the code that the firefox internals call, as they've fixed this on the latest branch.

Although it wasn't just that, if you're curious here's the commit that fixed builds.

I am also working on an internal nix devshell setup to completely avoid this CI / local discrepancy in the future - although it is quite a lot of work just because of how complicated the Firefox build system is.

Anyway 0.1.61a has now been published :) I'm hopeful that releases will be more frequent now.
