- Update to 2.22:
Added:
* confirm-mark-all-feeds-read setting, which makes Newsboat ask for
confirmation before marking all the feeds as read (#1215) (Tarishi Jain)
* Command line autocompletion in the save dialog (#893) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Support for ^U, ^K, ^G, and ^W editing keys (as in readline and Emacs) in
command line in the save dialog (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Support for RSS Media extension in Atom feeds (#595) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* New, more detailed, documentation chapters on macros and running external
commands (A1RO)
* User-contributed script that exports feeds with their tags in the OPML format:
contrib/exportOPMLWithTags.py (jartigag)
* Help dialog in the URLs view (#1218) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Handling of terminal resizes for all dialogs (#389, #390) (Dennis van der
Schagt)
* goto-title operation, which selects a feed with a given title (#888, #1135)
(Dennis van der Schagt)
* --cleanup command-line flag, which does the same as cleanup-on-quit
option (#1182) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* check and ci-check Makefile targets. Both run C++ and Rust test suites
consecutively, but the former fails early. Use check locally where
re-running tests is quick, and use ci-check in CI where re-running tests
usually means re-building everything first (#896) (Alexander Batischev)
* Command line support in the help dialog (Dennis van der Schagt)
* "(localized)" marks in documentation for all settings with internationalized
default values (#1270) (Amrit Brar)
* %F placeholder in browser setting, which is always replaced by the
feed's URL (unlike %u, which depends on the context in which the browser
is invoked) (#423) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Dumping of ignore-article rules with dumpconfig command (in Newsboat's
internal command line) (#635) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* %L placeholder in datetime-format setting, which turns into "X days ago"
string explaining when the article was published (#1323) (Amrit Brar)
* Support for escaped double quotes in arguments to set operation when used in
macros (#1345) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Podboat: error message if the podcast file can't be written onto disk (#1209)
(Nicholas Defranco)
Changed:
* Abort startup if the urls file or config file is not in UTF-8 encoding. This
limitation was effectively in place for a couple releases already, but
Newsboat crashed instead of displaying an error message. We intend to relax
the requirement again, but for now, we choose to be upfront about it rather
than crashing (#723, #844) (Dennis van der Schagt, Alexander Batischev)
* save-all operation no longer provides "yes for all" and "no for all" options
when there is only one conflict to resolve (#657) (saleh)
* Config parser now allows to have tab characters between macro arguments;
they will be treated as space (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Updated vendored libraries: Catch2 to 2.13.3, martinmoene/optional-lite
to 3.4.0, martinmoene/expected-lite to 0.5.0
* Updated translations: Dutch (Dennis van der Schagt), French (tkerdonc), German
(Lysander Trischler), Italian (Mauro Scomparin), Polish (Carno), Russian
(Alexander Batischev), Turkish (Emir Sarı), Ukrainian (Alexander Batischev)
Fixed:
* Whitespace not being consolidated in item titles (#1227) (Dennis van der
Schagt)
* Misleading error message when the urls file exists, but can't be opened (#439)
(Dennis van der Schagt)
* Newsboat processing the leftovers of stdin after running open-in-browser
operation (#26, #63, #1094) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* mark-feed-read operation not marking articles as read on a remote service
when the operation is invoked in the query feed (#220) (Dennis van der
Schagt)
* run-on-startup setting preventing Podboat from starting (#1288) (Dennis van
der Schagt)
* scrolloff setting being ignored when opening a feed with lots of read
articles before the unread one (#1293) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Memory corruption while rendering an article with JavaScript that contains
HTML (#1300) (Alexander Batischev)
* Podboat help dialog crashing if BACKSPACE is bound (#1139) (Dennis van der
Schagt)
* Being unable to run a second Newsboat instance with --cache-file switch if
cache-file setting is used (#1318) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Misleading "an instance is already running" message when a lock file can't be
created or written to (#314) (Dennis van der Schagt)
* Failing to parse macros which contain semicolons in operations' arguments
(#1200) (Alexander Batischev)
* Not installing some of the contrib scripts (Alexander Batischev)
