- Update to version 1.7.0
Added
* New settings:
+ colors.tabs.pinned.* to control colors of pinned tabs.
+ hints.leave_on_load which allows disabling leaving of hint
mode when a new page is loaded.
+ colors.completion.item.selected.match.fg which allows
configuring the text color for the matching text in the
currently selected completion item.
+ tabs.undo_stack_size to limit how many undo entries are kept
for closed tabs.
* New commands:
+ :reverse-selection (o in caret mode) to swap the
stationary/moving ends of a selection.
* New commandline replacements:
+ {url:domain}, {url:auth}, {url:scheme}, {url:username},
{url:password}, {url:host}, {url:port}, {url:path},
{url:query} for the respective parts of the current URL.
+ {title} for the current page title.
* The {title} field in tabs.title.format,
tabs.title.format_pinned and window.title_format got renamed to
{current_title} (mirroring {current_url}) in order to not
conflict with the new {title} commandline replacement.
* New delete target for :hint which removes the hinted element
from the DOM.
* New --config-py commandline argument to use a custom config.py
file.
* Qt 5.13: Support for notifications (shown via system tray).
Changed
* The desktop file qutebrowser.desktop is now renamed to
org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser.desktop.
* Pinned tabs now always show a favicon (even if the site doesn't
provide one) when shrinking.
* Setting downloads.location.directory now changes the directory
displayed in the download prompt even if
downloads.location.remember is set.
* The yank command gained a new inline argument, which allows to
e.g. use :yank inline [{title}]({url}).
* Duplicate consecutive history entries with the same URL are now
ignored.
* More detailed error messages when spawning a process failed.
* The content.pdfjs setting now supports domain patterns.
* Improved process status output with :spawn -o.
* The colors.tabs.bar.bg setting is now of type QssColor and thus
supports gradients.
* The :fullscreen command now understands a new --enter flag
which causes it to always enter fullscreen instead of toggling
the current state.
* --debug-flag stack is now needed to show stack traces on
renderer process crashes.
* --debug-flag chromium can be used to easily turn on verbose
Chromium logging.
* Permission prompts can now be answered with
Y (:prompt-accept --save yes) and N (:prompt-accept --save no)
to save the answer as a per-domain setting.
* content.dns_prefetch is now turned off by default, as it causes
crashes inside QtWebEngine.
* The (still unofficial) interceptor plugin API now contains
resource_type for a request and allows redirecting requests.
* :bookmark-remove now shows a message for consistency with
:bookmark-add.
* Very early segfaults are now also caught by the crash handler.
* The appdata XML now contains proper release information and an
(empty) OARS content rating.
* Improved Linux distribution detection.
* Qt 5.13: Request filtering now happens in the UI rather than
IO thread.
* Qt 5.13: Support for PDFium (Chromium's PDF viewer) is disabled
for now so that PDFs can still be downloaded
(or shown with PDF.js) properly.
* Various performance improvements (e.g. for showing hints or
the :open completion).
Deprecated
* :yank markdown got deprecated, as :yank inline [{title}]({url})
can now be used instead.
Fixed
* Various QtWebEngine load signals are now handled differently,
which should fix issues with insert mode being left while
typing on sites like Google Translate.
* Race condition causing a colored statusbar in normal mode when
entering/exiting caret mode quickly.
* Using 100% for a hue in a hsv(...) config value now corresponds
to 359 (rather than 255), matching the fixed behavior in
Qt 5.13.
* Chaining commands with ;; used to abort with some failing
commands. It now runs the second command no matter whether the
first one succeeded or not.
* Handling of profiles and private windows (and resulting crashes
with Qt 5.12.2).
* Fixes for corner-cases when using :navigate increment/decrement
* The type for the colors.hints.match.fg setting was changed to
QtColor.
* Gradients were never supported for this setting, and with this
change, values like rgb(0, 0, 0) now work as well.
* Permission prompts now show a properly normalized URL with
QtWebKit.
* Crash on start when PyQt was built without SSL support with
Qt >= 5.12.
* Minor memory leaks.
