Qutebrowser

Fixed

v0.8.3 accidentally broke compatibility with Python 3.4, which is restored with this release.

Fixed
- Fixed crash when doing `:<space><enter>`, another corner-case introduced in v0.8.0
- Fixed `:open-editor` (`<Ctrl-e>`) on Windows
- Fixed crash when setting `general -> auto-save-interval` to a too big value.
- Fixed crash when using hints on Void Linux.
- Fixed compatibility with Python 3.5.2+ on Debian unstable
- Compatibility with pdfjs v1.6.210
- `:bind` can now be used to bind to an alias (binding by editing `keys.conf`
already worked before)
- The command completion now updates correctly when changing aliases
- The tabbar now displays correctly with the Adwaita Qt theme
- The default `sk` keybinding now sets the commandline to `:bind` correctly
- Fixed crash when closing a window without focusing it

Fixed
- Fixed `general -> private-browsing` not being set correctly until a restart
(which caused e.g. local storage to be enabled).
- Fixed crash when using hints with JS disabled in some rare circumstances.
- When hinting input fields (`:t`), also consider input elements without a type.
- Fixed crash when opening an invalid URL with a percent-encoded and a real in it
- Fixed default `;o` and `;O` bindings
- Fixed local storage not working (and possible other bugs) when using a
relative path with `--basedir`.
- Fixed crash when deleting a quickmark with Ctrl-D
- Fixed HTML5 video playback on Windows
- Fixed crash when using `:prompt-open-download` with a file with chars not
encodable with the OS' filesystem encoding (e.g. with `LC_ALL=C`)
- Fixed `:prompt-open-download` with a too long filename (< 255 bytes)
- Fixed crash when cancelling a download after doing `:prompt-open-download`
- Fixed crash when writing a download to disk fails with
`:prompt-open-download`.
- Fixed HTML5 video playback on Windows

Fixed
- Fix crash when pressing enter without a command
- Adjust error message to point out QtWebEngine is unsupported with the OS
X .app currently.
- Hide Harfbuzz warning with the OS X .app

Added
- New `:repeat-command` command (mapped to `.`) to repeat the last command.
Note that two former default bundings conflict with that binding, unbinding
them via `:unbind .i` and `:unbind .o` is recommended.
- New `qute:bookmarks` page which displays all bookmarks and quickmarks.
- New `:prompt-open-download` (bound to `Ctrl-X`) which can be used to open a
download directly when getting the filename prompt.
- New `{host}` replacement for tab- and window titles which evaluates
to the current host.
- New default binding `;t` for `:hint input`.
- New variables `$QUTE_CONFIG_DIR`, `$QUTE_DATA_DIR` and
`$QUTE_DOWNLOAD_DIR` available for userscripts.
- New option `ui` -> `status-position` to configure the position of the
status bar (top/bottom).
- New `--pdf <filename>` argument for `:print` which can be used to generate a
PDF without a dialog.

Changed
- `:scroll-perc` now prefers a count over the argument given to it, which means
`gg` can be used with a count.
- Aliases can now use `;;` to have an alias which executed multiple commands.
- `:edit-url` now does nothing if the URL isn't changed in the spawned editor.
- `:bookmark-add` can now be passed a URL and title to add that as a bookmark
rather than the current page.
- New `taskadd` userscript to add a taskwarrior task annotated with the
current URL.
- `:bookmark-del` and `:quickmark-del` now delete the current page's URL if none
is given.

Fixed
- Compatibility with PyQt 5.7
- Fixed some configuration values being lost when a config option gets removed
from qutebrowser's code.
- Fix crash when downloading with a full disk
- Using `:jump-mark` (e.g. `''`) when the current URL is invalid doesn't crash
anymore.

Removed
- The ability to display status messages from webpages, as well as the related
`ui -> display-statusbar-messages` setting.
- The `general -> wrap-search` setting as searches now always wrap.
According to a quick straw poll and prior crash logs, almost nobody is using
`wrap-search = false`, and turning off wrapping is not possible with
QtWebEngine.
- `:edit-url` now doesn't accept a count anymore as its behavior was confusing
and it doesn't make much sense to add a count.

Added
- New `:edit-url` command to edit the URL in an external editor.
- New `network -> custom-headers` setting to send custom headers with every request.
- New `{url:pretty}` commandline replacement which gets replaced by the decoded URL.
- New marks to remember a scroll position:
- New `:jump-mark` command to jump to a mark, bound to `'`
- New `:set-mark` command to set a mark, bound to (backtick)
- The `'` mark gets set when moving away (hinting link with anchor, searching, etc.) so you can move back with `''`
- New `--force-color` argument to force colored logging even if stdout is not a
terminal
- New `:messages` command to show error messages
- New pop-up showing possible keybinding when the first key of a keychain is
pressed. This can be turned off using `:set ui keyhint-blacklist *`.
- New `hints -> auto-follow-timeout` setting to ignore keypresses after
following a hint when filtering in number mode.
- New `:history-clear` command to clear the entire history
- New `hints -> find-implementation` to select which implementation (JS/Python)
should be used to find hints on a page. The `javascript` implementation is
better, but slower.

Changed
- qutebrowser got a new (slightly updated) logo
- `:tab-focus` can now take a negative index to focus the nth tab counted from
the right.
- `:yank` can now yank the pretty/decoded URL by adding `--pretty`
- `:navigate` now clears the URL fragment
- `:completion-item-del` (`Ctrl-D`) can now be used in `:buffer` completion to
close a tab
- Counts can now be used with special keybindings (e.g. with modifiers)
- Various SSL ciphers are now disabled by default. With recent Qt/OpenSSL
versions those already all are disabled, but with older versions they might
not be.
- Show favicons as window icon with `tabs-are-windows` set.
- `:bind <key>` without a command now shows the existing binding
- The optional `colorlog` dependency got removed, as qutebrowser now displays
colored logs without it.
- URLs are now shown decoded when hovering.
- Keybindings are now shown in the command completion
- Improved behavior when pasting multiple lines
- Rapid hints can now also be used for the `normal` hint target, which can be
useful with javascript click handlers or checkboxes which don't actually open
a new page.
- `:zoom-in` or `:zoom-out` (`+`/`-`) with a too large count now zooms to the
smallest/largest zoom instead of doing nothing.
- The commandline now accepts partially typed commands if they're unique.
- Number hints are now kept filtered after following a hint in rapid mode.
- Number hints are now renumbered after filtering
- Number hints can now be filtered with multiple space-separated search terms
- `hints -> scatter` is now ignored for number hints
- Better history implementation which also stores titles.
As a consequence, URLs which redirect to another URL are now added to the
history too, marked with a `-r` suffix to the timestamp field.

Fixed
- Fixed using `:hint links spawn` with flags - you can now use things like the
`-v` argument for `:spawn` or pass flags to the spawned commands.
- Various fixes for hinting corner-cases where following a link didn't work or
the hint was drawn at the wrong position.
- Fixed crash when downloading from an URL with SSL errors
- Close file handles correctly when a download failed
- Fixed crash when using `;Y` (`:hint links yank-primary`) on a system without
primary selection
- Don't display quit confirmation with finished downloads
- Fixed updating the tab index in the statusbar when opening a background tab
- Fixed a crash when entering `:--` in the commandline
- Fixed `:debug-console` with PyQt 5.6
- Fixed qutebrowser not starting when `sys.stderr` is `None`
- Fixed crash when cancelling a download which belongs to a MHTML download
- Fixed rebinding of keybindings being case-sensitive
- Fix for tab indicators getting lost when moving tabs
- Fixed handling of backspace in number hinting mode
- Fixed `FileNotFoundError` when starting in some cases on old Qt versions
- Fixed sharing of cookies between tabs when `private-browsing` is enabled
- Toggling values with `:set` now uses lower-case values
- Hints now work with (non-standard) links with spaces around the URL
- Strip off trailing spaces for history entries with no title
