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@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/
