0.6.1

Not secure
Fixed
- Fixed broken cheatsheet image which was missing from package
- Fixed occasional crash when switching/disconnecting monitors
- Fixed crash when downloading non-ascii files with a broken locale (`LC_ALL=C`)
- Added workaround for a Qt/PyQt bug which is too weird to describe here

0.6.0

Not secure
Added
- New `:buffer` command to easily switch tabs by name. This is not bound to a
key by default for existing users due to a conflict with the `gt`/`gT`
bindings (which are now removed from the default bindings).
You can bind it by hand by running `:bind -f gt set-cmd-text -s :buffer`.
- New `--quiet` argument for the `:debug-pyeval` command to not open a tab with
the results. Note `:debug-pyeval` is still only intended for debugging.
- The completion now matches each entered word separately.
- A new command `:paste-primary` got added to paste the primary selection, and
`<Shift-Insert>` got added as a binding so it pastes primary rather than
clipboard.
- New mode `word` for `hints -> mode` which uses a dictionary and link-texts
for hints instead of single characters.
- New `--all` argument for `:download-cancel` to cancel all running downloads.
- New `password_fill` userscript to fill passwords using the `pass` executable.
- New `current` hinting mode which forces opening hints in the current tab
(even with `target="_blank"`)

Changed
- Pasting multiple lines via `:paste` now opens each line in a new tab.
- `:navigate increment/decrement` now preserves leading zeroes in URLs.
- `general -> editor` can now also handle `{}` inside another argument (e.g. to open `vim` via `termite`)
- Improved performance when scrolling with many tabs open.
- Shift-Insert now also pastes primary selection for prompts.
- `:download-remove --all` got un-deprecated to provide symmetry with
`:download-cancel --all`. It does the same as `:download-clear`.
- Improved detection of URLs/search terms when pasting multiple lines.
- Don't remove `qutebrowser-editor-*` temporary file if editor subprocess crashed
- Userscripts are also searched in `/usr/share/qutebrowser/userscripts`.
- Blocked hosts are now also read from a `blocked-hosts` file in the config dir
(e.g. `~/.config/qutebrowser/blocked-hosts`).

Fixed
- Fixed starting with -c "".
- Fixed crash when a tab is closed twice via javascript (e.g. Dropbox
authentication dialogs)
- Fixed crash when a notification/geolocation prompt is answered after closing
the tab it belongs to.
- Fixed crash when downloading a file without any path information (e.g a
magnet link).
- Fixed crashes when opening an empty URL (e.g. via pasting).
- Fixed validation of duplicate values in `hints -> chars`.
- Fixed crash when PDF.js was partially installed.
- Fixed crash when XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR was not an absolute path.
- Fixed very long filenames when downloading `data://`-URLs.
- Fixed ugly UI fonts on Windows when Liberation Mono is installed
- Fixed crash when unbinding key from a section which doesn't exist in the config
- Fixed report window after a segfault
- Fixed some directory browser issues on Windows
- Fixed crash when closing a window with a finished download and delayed
`remove-finished-downloads` setting.
- Fixed crash when hitting `<Tab>` then `<Ctrl-C>` on pages without keyboard
focus.
- Fixed "Frame load interrupted by policy change" error showing up when
downloading files with Qt 5.6.

Removed
- The `gt`/`gT` bindings (luakit-like alternatives to `J`/`K`) were removed
(except for existing configs) to make room for the `gt` binding to show
buffers.

0.5.1

Not secure
Fixed
- Fixed completion for various config values when using `:set`.
- Fixed config validation for various config values.
- Prevented an error being logged when a website with HTTP authentication was
opened on Windows.

0.5.0

is disabled by default and can be enabled using the
`content -> pdfjs-enabled` setting.

when using wayland.
- New userscripts in `misc/userscripts`:

from the adblocker.

instance.
- New setting `statusbar.url.fg.success.https` to set the foreground color for
the URL when a page was loaded via HTTPS.

got added:
- `completion -> scrollbar-width`
- `completion -> scrollbar-padding`
- `colors -> completion.scrollbar.fg`
- `colors -> completion.scrollbar.bg`
- New value `none` for options taking a color system so they don't display a
gradient:

- `colors -> downloads.bg.system`
- New command `:download-retry` to retry a failed download.
- New command `:download-clear` which replaces `:download-remove --all`.

qutebrowser.
- New `--mhtml` argument for `:download` to download a page including all

`$XDG_DATA_DIR`. Using a binary in `$PATH` won't work anymore with
`--userscript`.
- New design for error pages
- Link filtering for hints now checks if the text is contained anywhere in
the link, and matches case-insensitively.
- The `ui -> remove-finished-downloads` option got changed to an integer and
now takes a time (in milliseconds) to keep the download around after it's
finished. When set to `-1`, downloads are never removed.
- The `:follow-hint` command now optionally takes the keystring of a hint to
follow.
- `:scroll-px` now doesn't take floats anymore, which made little sense.
- Updated the user agent list for the `:set network user-agent` completion.

`--loglevel VDEBUG` to get them).
- `:debug-console` now hides the console if it's already shown.

- `general -> log-javascript-console` got changed from a boolean to an option
taking a loglevel (`none`, `info`, `debug`).

logged to the console.
