Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-d97a1229c0
2018-10-11 22:48:58.066844
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mozilla-https-everywhere
Product : Fedora 27
Version : 2018.9.19
Release : 1.fc27
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The Fedora RPM package includes the legacy XUL version, no longer updated,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:
Lots o' updates. Does include a mark of shame for non-HTTPS websites

ChangeLog:
* Mon Oct 1 2018 Russell Golden <niveusluna(a)niveusluna.org> - 2018.9.19-1
2018.9.19
- Ensure the 'Block all unencrypted requests' interstitial page catches more
HTTPS misconfigurations (#16418)
- Allow users to disable HTTPS Everywhere on specific sites. Add additional
UX controls in the options page for this. (#10041)
- Adding 'scope' to update channels, which defines regex limiting the URLs
an update channel is allowed to operate on (#16430)
- Adding a warning to pages which 'Block all unencrypted requests' is unable
to upgrade
- Adding a UX that enables users to add, delete, and edit update channels
- Reduces memory overhead by optimizing exclusion regex
- Block insecure FTP connections when 'Block all unencrypted requests'
is checked. This triggers a permissions dialogue in Firefox 57+, see
