Additional fixes :

 - Make accelerating compositing mode on-demand again. By default it will only be used for websites that require it, saving a lot of memory on websites that don’t need it.

 - Release unused UpdateAtlas and reduce the tile coverage on memory pressure.

 - The media backend now stores preloaded media in /var/tmp instead of user cache dir.

 - Make inspector work again when accelerated compositing support is disabled.

 - Fix a deadlock when the media player is destroyed.

 - Fix network process crashes when loading custom URI schemes.

 - Fix overlay scrollbars that are over a subframe.

 - Fix a crash in GraphicsContext3D::drawArrays when using OpenGL 3.2 core profile.

 - Fix BadDamage X errors happening when resizing the WebView.

 - Fix several crashes and rendering issues.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution
