It will +now use the -O2 optimization and added some hardening flags +to the linker and fix wrongly escaped single quote in the +man page.I've added these patches from Debian Maintainer +Paul Gevers. + +Removed the hint that said TEST in the lower left side corner +of the GUI,when you hover the mouse in the area between the +convert button and options button.Fixed the Dialog boxes under +the Ffmpeg tab were it will now show pass 1 and pass 2 separately +previously the pass 1 dialog was merged with the top parameter +dialog box.Put Underscore between the "Cancel Changes", +"Apply Changes" and "Apply to All" buttons and will now be +further apart for clarity. From FFmpeg versions 5 and later +the -vol command will fail.For example -vol 512 has been changed +to -filter:a "volume=1.5", since slackware uses FFmpeg4 +this is not a problem for now.Added Hints to the 2 buttons +next to the folder path.The open was not working due to +older lazarus not passing commands updating to Lazarus 2.2.2-0 +will solve that problem.If you cross compile winff for windows +without patching the language files it will show the old links. +Thanks to David Miller for patches,Improvments and testing Winff. + +Created a set of patches instead of sed commands. + +Extended the Copyright, which previously was upto the year 2016. + +GTK2 has reached end of life also GTK3 widget set support in +lazarus is in alpha stage in lazarus.See the following post +for details. + +https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/ +https://wiki.freepascal.org/Widgetset + +As such it no longer make sense to default to GTK.We will +now default to qt5 nstead of GTK.Therefore libqtpas is now a +dependency. Install libqtpas before installing lazarus. + +Removed a Dangling link to AV GNU/Linux Distro. + +If for Some reason "Cancel changes","Apply to all" and +"Apply changes" button does not appear do not fret, Enter the +Values you need to modify in Video/Audio/Crop/Time and then +add the file to convert it would pass the options.You can check +the Command in the FFmpeg tab. This is a workaround. + +Patched the manpage to show the winff docmentation location +in slackware. + +This build removes all other localization files except english +since it contains outdated links and may pose security risk. +Bumped the build no. + +20/01/2023: + +Fixed $ARCH issue for 32-bit systems. freepascal supports i386 +only. The SlackBuild is modified to reflect that.Bumped the +build no. + +Users of WinFF must be aware of these two security issues that are +still unresolved upstream. + +a. The first one is due to the way filenames are inserted in the +temporary shell scripts generated to convert the media. Due to the +lack of character escaping, it is possible to insert system command using +specially crafted filename such as 'aaa";xcalc;".avi' or "aaa$(xcalc).mp4' +Thus leading to an arbitrary command execution. + +b. The second issue is related to the permission of this temporary shell +script. every users can access to them and modify them. Even if those files +are only temporary and launched right after generation, it leads to a +race-condition case where another user may try to replace the script content +before its execution in order to execute its own command with the winff +user permission. + +you can read about this issue here: +https://github.com/WinFF/winff/issues/242 + +As for first issue check the filename before converting otherwise it +will compromise your system and don't download from untrusted sources. +For the second I have no clue and this is beyond my abilities.If you have +a patch for these issue feel free to send it to me. + + +11/01/2024: + +Upgraded to the latest git commit 31b79e3. + +22/01/2024: + +Added -pie and -zdefs hardening flags to linker. +Bumped the build no. + +27/02/2024: + +Updated to version 1.6.3 + +03/03/2024: + +Resubmit to SBo +Modify the SlackBuild to avoid creating object code files to /usr/share/lazarus +when compiling winff and remove unused function in doinst.sh Thanks to Andrew Clemons +for pointing it out. + +27/04/2024: + +Updated to version 1.6.4 +Fixed dead links. Fix documentation to properly open the pdf. |
