  - 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.
