Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2019-b4a184cef0
2019-05-13 01:05:12.387504
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mozilla-https-everywhere
Product : Fedora EPEL 7
Version : 2019.1.31
Release : 2.el7
URL :
https://eff.org/https-everywhere
Summary : HTTPS enforcement extension for Mozilla Firefox
Description :
HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between
The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your
communications with a number of major websites.
Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS,
but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted
HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.
The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests
to these sites to HTTPS.
The Fedora RPM package includes the legacy XUL version, no longer updated,
for SeaMonkey users.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
- Change "Block all unencrypted requests" language to "Encrypt all sites
eligible" - EASE mode patches for interstitial page and reload to trigger for
EASE mode - ES Lint clean up - Disable test for Chrome (will work in patch while
disabled) (included because chrome and firefox versions use a single codebase) -
Deprecate I.P.s in rulesets (Special case for DNS I.P.s) - Amend check_rules.py
fetch test to disable rules only if all rules are problematic, and comment rules
out if other rules are functional in the set - HSTS Prune and updates - Bundled
ruleset updates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update mozilla-https-everywhere' at the command line.
