qutebrowser v1.0.0 released!
by Florian Bruhin 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hey, I'm delighted to announce that I just released qutebrowser v1.0.0! qutebrowser is a keyboard driven browser with a vim-like, minimalistic interface. It's written using PyQt and cross-platform. This release comes with many big breaking changes such as the new config and QtWebEngine by default. See the changelog for details. Florian Major changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Dependency changes: * Support for legacy QtWebKit (before 5.212 which is distributed independently from Qt[1] is dropped. * Support for Python 3.4 is dropped. * Support for Qt before 5.7.1 and PyQt before 5.7 is dropped. * New dependency on the QtSql module and Qt sqlite support. * New dependency on the attrs[2] project (packaged as `python-attr` in some distributions). * The depedency on PyOpenGL (when using QtWebEngine) got removed. Note that PyQt5.QtOpenGL is still a dependency. * PyQt5.QtOpenGL is now always required, even with QtWebKit. - The QtWebEngine backend is now used by default. Note this means that QtWebEngine now should be a required dependency, and QtWebKit (if new enough) should be changed to an optional dependency. - Completely rewritten configuration system which ignores the old config file. See qute://help/configuring.html for details. - Various documentation files got moved to the doc/ subfolder; `qutebrowser.desktop` got moved to misc/. - `:set` now doesn't support toggling/cycling values anymore, that functionality got moved to `:config-cycle`. - New completion engine based on sqlite, which allows to complete the entire browsing history. The default for `completion.web_history_max_items` got changed to `-1` (unlimited). If the completion is too slow on your machine, try setting it to a few 1000 items. [1] https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki [2] http://www.attrs.org/ Added ~~~~~ - QtWebEngine: Spell checking support, see the `spellcheck.languages` setting. - New `qt.args` setting to pass additional arguments to Qt/Chromium. - New `backend` setting to select the backend to use. Together with the previous setting, this should make most wrapper scripts unnecessary. - qutebrowser can now be set as the default browser on macOS. - New config commands: * `:config-cycle` to cycle an option between multiple values. * `:config-unset` to remove a configured option. * `:config-clear` to remove all configured options. * `:config-source` to (re-)read a `config.py` file. * `:config-edit` to open the `config.py` file in an editor. * `:config-write-py` to write a `config.py` template file. - New `:version` command which opens `qute://version`. - New back/forward indicator in the statusbar. - New `bindings.key_mappings` setting to map keys to other keys. - QtWebEngine: Support for proxy authentication. Changed ~~~~~~~ - Using `:download` now uses the page's title as filename. - Using `:back` or `:forward` with a count now skips intermediate pages. - When there are multiple messages shown, the timeout is increased. - `:search` now only clears the search if one was displayed before, so pressing `<Escape>` doesn't un-focus inputs anymore. - Pinned tabs now adjust to their text's width, so the `tabs.width.pinned` setting got removed. - `:set-cmd-text` now has a `--run-on-count` argument to run the underlying command directly if a count was given. - `:scroll-perc` got renamed to `:scroll-to-perc`. Removed ~~~~~~~ - Migrating QtWebEngine data written by versions before 2016-11-15 (before v0.9.0) is now not supported anymore. - Upgrading qutebrowser with a version older than v0.4.0 still running now won't work properly anymore. - The `--harfbuzz` and `--relaxed-config` commandline arguments got dropped. Fixes ~~~~~ - Exiting fullscreen via `:fullscreen` or buttons on a page now restores the correct previous window state (maximized/fullscreen). - When `input.insert_mode.auto_load` is set, background tabs now don't enter insert mode anymore. - The keybinding help widget now works correctly when using keybindings with a count. - The `window.hide_wayland_decoration` setting now works correctly again. -- https://www.qutebrowser.org | me(a)the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | https://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | https://email.is-not-s.ms/

PyCA cryptography 2.1 released
by Paul Kehrer 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

PyCA cryptography 2.1 has been released to PyPI. cryptography includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, message digests, and key derivation functions. We support Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.4+, and PyPy. NOTE: This release contains a backwards incompatible change that was not part of a deprecation cycle. Before upgrading p Changelog (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/#v2-1) * FINAL DEPRECATION Python 2.6 support is deprecated, and will be removed in the next release of cryptography. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Whirlpool, RIPEMD160, and UnsupportedExtension have been removed in accordance with our API stability policy. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: DNSName.value, UniformResourceIndicator.value, and RFC822Name.value will now return an A-label string when parsing a certificate containing an internationalized domain name (IDN) or if the caller passed a U-label to the constructor. See below for additional deprecations related to this change. * Installing cryptography now requires pip 6 or newer. * Deprecated passing U-label strings to the DNSName, UniformResourceIdentifier, and RFC822Name constructors. Instead, users should pass values as A-label strings with idna encoding if necessary. This change will not affect anyone who is not processing internationalized domains. * Added support for ChaCha20. In most cases users should choose ChaCha20Poly1305 rather than using this unauthenticated form. * Added is_signature_valid() to CertificateRevocationList. * Support BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s with HMAC. * Added support for XTS mode for AES. * Added support for using labels with OAEP when using OpenSSL 1.0.2 or greater. * Improved compatibility with NSS when issuing certificates from an issuer that has a subject with non-UTF8String string types. * Add support for the DeltaCRLIndicator extension. * Add support for the TLSFeature extension. This is commonly used for enabling OCSP Must-Staple in certificates. * Add support for the FreshestCRL extension. Thanks to all the contributors in this release. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

Cython 0.27.1 released
by Stefan Behnel 01 Oct '17

01 Oct '17

Hi all, Cython 0.27 (and its first bug-fix follow-up) is available. This is a major feature release that implements most of the new functionality in Python 3.6, as well as some long awaited Cython language features. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython What is Cython? Cython is a widely used and production proven optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language, and one of the pillars of the high-performance Python ecosystem. It provides direct access to C/C++ libraries and data types as a language feature, and makes writing fast native C extensions for Python as easy as Python itself. These are the major new features in 0.27: - PEP 484/526 annotation typing - PEP 525/530 async generators and comprehensions - automatic "__richcmp__()" generation from "__eq__()" & friends - support for Python object references in C++ classes - PGO compilation mode in Jupyter notebooks Plus many little enhancements and bug fixes. For a longer list of improvements, see the changelog: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.27.1/CHANGES.rst Hope you like it. Stefan
