That stored information is later used to validate challenge responses. This works around nondeterminism in bot rules. ([#917](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/917)) - When parsing [Open Graph tags](./admin/configuration/open-graph.mdx), add any URLs found in the responses to a temporary "allow cache" so that social preview images work. +- Proof of work solving has had a complete overhaul and rethink based on feedback from browser engine developers, frontend experts, and overall performance profiling. +- One of the biggest sources of lag in Firefox has been eliminated: the use of WebCrypto. Now whenever Anubis detects the client is using Firefox (or Pale Moon), it will swap over to a pure-JS implementation of SHA-256 for speed. +- Web Workers are stored as dedicated JavaScript files in `static/js/workers/*.mjs`. +- Pave the way for non-SHA256 solver methods and eventually one that uses WebAssembly (or WebAssembly code compiled to JS for those that disable WebAssembly). +- Legacy JavaScript code has been eliminated. +- The contact email in the LibreJS header has been changed. +- The hard dependency on WebCrypto has been removed, allowing a proof of work challenge to work over plain (unencrypted) HTTP. + +### Breaking changes + +- The "slow" frontend solver has been removed in order to reduce maintenance burden. Any existing uses of it will still work, but issue a warning upon startup asking administrators to upgrade to the "fast" frontend solver. ## v1.21.3: Minfilia Warde - Echo 3
