This patch updates the minimum supported browsers as follows:
The primary reason for this version bump is
structuredClone
support, please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone#browser_compatibilityAt this point in time we're using
structuredClone
in different parts of the code-base, and it's unfortunately functionality that's difficult to polyfill completely (affects thetransfer
option specifically).Note that nowadays we usually try, where feasible and possible, to support browsers that are about two years old. By limiting support to only "recent" browsers we reduce the risk of holding back improvements of the built-in Firefox PDF Viewer, and also (significantly) reduce the maintenance/support burden for the PDF.js contributors.
Please note: As always, the minimum supported browser version assumes that a
legacy
-build of the PDF.js library is being used; see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
