Rebased to WebKitGTK 2.44.0

jacadcaps:
"It's getting increasingly hard to update WebKit. This version either deprecated or broke a lot of the compile time options I've been using to customize the build. This means I had to put more work into this upgrade than with version 5, 6 or 7.

Please consider donating if you appreciate my work."

@t0lkien

You beat me to it!

This one is yet again faster than the predecessor. It also even checks the openssl3 version and updates to it.

Jacek is absolutely brilliant. Wayfarer as a daily driver is just so good!

I donated to him again when he added calendar invites to Iris. Hope others give to his work...

Well done!

Version 8.1
- Fixed reported crashes

Version 8.2 is now out. I've rebased to the latest stable WebKitGTK 2.44.1 since it fixes some of the additional crashes people were seeing.

This version also enables lazy image loading support which may improve performance on websites using the functionality.

And a big thank you to all who donated to the project!

Version 8.3
Fixed reported crashes
Enabled BeaconAPI
Updated sqlite and nghttp2 libraries

@t0lkien

Great catch!

I can't keep up anymore... :)

Version 8.4
Fixed a performance regression around curl/nghttp2

@t0lkien

That's twice now! Thanks.

@Thread

Do not upgrade to 8.4, new regressions found.

Too slow/not enough RAM.

Wayfarer 8.10 out now.

Changes:
- Rebased to latest stable WebKitGTK 2.44.3
- Fixed a rare crash when hitting back/forward buttons
- Updated cURL

And the same day....

8.11 out with a small tweak: I've enabled a HTML API that was required for www.meta.ai to work - so if you want to chat with LLama 3.1 AI or generate some images with AI, you can now do it on MorphOS :)
