Moonchild Productions develops UXP alongside Pale Moon. It includes the Goanna layout and rendering engine, a fork of Mozilla's Gecko engine. Pale Moon is built upon the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), a cross-platform, multimedia application base with ancestry in Mozilla code. The official releases do not support older processors without the SSE2 instruction set. Pale Moon 27.9.4 was the last release to officially support Windows Vista as well as the final community-contributed release for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Two speciality builds continued to support XP for some time: PM4XP, which was discontinued after release 25.7.0, and a special build intended for devices with Intel Atom processors, which was discontinued with the release of Pale Moon 27.0.0. Official support for Windows XP ended with Pale Moon 25.0.0. The name and logo are trademarked by the project founder and cannot be used without his prior permission.
To ensure quality, redistribution of officially branded Pale Moon binaries is only permissible under specific circumstances.
