Other than the removal of enclosures [1], the only issue I had with liferea was that it started showing previews on a white background after some upgrade (i.e., the same issue evolution had with the recent upgrade), but I just don't recall the exact version when that started happening.
According to APT's history log, the oldest entry of webkit2gtk was 2.44.2-1+b1. Since I only use the liferea previews to avoid watching shorts from my YouTube-related feeds (i.e., depending on the aspect ratio of the snapshot shown in the preview), the white backgound wasn't that much of a problem. Running with the DMABUF disabled, on webkit2gtk 2.48.1-3, brings back the previews (with white brackground, that is): $ WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 liferea <sys>:0: Warning: g_atomic_ref_count_dec: assertion 'old_value > 0' failed <sys>:0: Warning: g_uri_is_valid: assertion 'uri_string != NULL' failed <sys>:0: Warning: g_bytes_get_size: assertion 'bytes != NULL' failed <sys>:0: Warning: g_bytes_get_data: assertion 'bytes != NULL' failed So liferea's issue is the same as that from bug #1053199. -- John M.
