Changes/fixes:
- Switched our build system to Python 3. See implementation notes
- Linux: removed dbus-glib dependency
- Linux: Added EGL as a preferred OpenGL provider with GLX fallback; GLX remains the configured default as there are still some unresolved issues with EGL
- Improved JS performance by porting across various enhancements from Mozilla
- Fixed various application crashes
- Further improved compatibility with building for Loongson architectures
- Further improved hardware accelerated decoding of WMF videos
- Fixed ARM assembler issues in the Goanna back-end
- Improved parallel JS parsing tasks
- Improved CSS handling of calc() for web compatibility, allowing it in many more places (e.g. color() and z-index)
- For compatibility and performance reasons, we still strongly recommend that you use CSS variables to make calculations where possible
- Ported several smaller performance improvements from the Dactyloidae project
- Aligned CSS border width calculations with mainstream, for web compatibility. Please note that this may impact some themes that might rely on fractional border rounding (instead of truncation)
- Removed the CloudFlare workaround introduced in 34.2.0 as it should no longer be necessary with general image size handling improvements. The preference will no longer do anything

- Implemented some ANGLE upstream fixes
- Updated NSS to 3.90.11 (UXP), picking up a number of upstream security fixes
- Another large security audit was performed of 190 security-sensitive reported bugs. Many security issues were addressed, including potential crash scenarios and code correctness issues.
- As a summary: 18 potential vulnerabilities were found applicable and fixed, another 18 issues had DiD code changes applied, and 4 were already mitigated by us before being reported. Of the reported security bugs, 150 were not applicable to our code (with a good portion once again pertaining to e10s/multi-process browser architectures).
