Debug z-index stacking content with 3D View in the Microsoft Edge DevTools We are thrilled to announce the next iteration of 3D View in the Microsoft Edge DevTools, with a new feature to help debug z-index stacking context. The general 3D View shows a representation of the DOM (Document Object Model) depth using color and stacking, and the z-Index view helps you isolate the different stacking contexts of your page. 3D view is enabled by default in the Canary branch – to enable it in other branches, open the DevTools “Experiments” settings (Ctrl-Shift-P -> “Experiments“) and turn on “Enable 3D View.” If you don’t see that item, navigate to edge://flags and make sure you have enabled “Developer Tools experiments.” Once 3D view is enabled, you can find it under the “More tools” menu (or via search: Ctrl-Shift-P -> “3D View“).

USN-4233-2: GnuTLS update gnutls28 update A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary USN-4233-1 marked SHA1 as untrusted in GnuTLS with no workaround. Software Description gnutls28 – GNU TLS library Details USN-4233-1 disabled SHA1 being used for digital signature operations in GnuTLS. In certain network environments, certificates using SHA1 may still be in use. This update adds the %VERIFY_ALLOW_BROKEN and %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_WITH_SHA1 priority strings that can be used to temporarily re-enable SHA1 until certificates can be replaced with a stronger algorithm. Original advisory details: As a security improvement, this update marks SHA1 as being untrusted for digital signature operations. Update instructions The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS libgnutls30 – 3.5.18-1ubuntu1.3 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS libgnutls30 – 3.4.10-4ubuntu1.7 To update your system, [ more… ]
