v1.1.2
------

Changed
~~~~~~~

- Windows/macOS releases now bundle Qt 5.10.1 which includes security fixes from
  Chromium up to version 64.0.3282.140.

Fixed
~~~~~

- QtWebEngine: Crash with Qt 5.10.1 when using :undo on some tabs.
- Compatibility with Python 3.7

v1.1.1
------

Fixed
~~~~~

- The Makefile now actually works.
- Fixed crashes with Qt 5.10 when closing a tab before it finished loading.

v1.1.0
------

Added
~~~~~

- Initial support for Greasemonkey scripts. There are still some rough edges,
  but many scripts should already work.
- There's now a `misc/Makefile` file in releases, which should help
  distributions which package qutebrowser, as they can run something like
  `make -f misc/Makefile DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install` now.
- New fields for `window.title_format` and `tabs.title.format`:
  * `{current_url}`
  * `{protocol}`
- New settings:
  * `colors.statusbar.passthrough.fg`/`.bg`
  * `completion.delay` and `completion.min_chars` to update the completion less
    often.
  * `completion.use_best_match` to automatically use the best-matching
    command in the completion.
  * `keyhint.radius` to configure the edge rounding for the key hint widget.
  * `qt.highdpi` to turn on Qt's High-DPI scaling.
  * `tabs.pinned.shrink` (`true` by default) to make it possible
    for pinned tabs and normal tabs to have the same size.
  * `content.windowed_fullscreen` to show e.g. a fullscreened video in the
    window without fullscreening that window.
  * `tabs.persist_mode_on_change` to keep the current mode when
    switching tabs.
  * `session.lazy_restore` which allows to not load pages immediately
    when restoring a session.
- New commands:
  * `:tab-give` and `:tab-take`, to give tabs to another window, or take them
    from another window.
  * `:completion-item-yank` (bound to `<Ctrl-C>`) to yank the current
    completion item text.
  * `:edit-command` to edit the commandline in an editor.
  * `search.incremental` for incremental text search.
- New flags for existing commands:
  * `-o` flag for `:spawn` to show stdout/stderr in a new tab.
  * `--rapid` flag for `:command-accept` (bound to `Ctrl-Enter` by default),
    which allows executing a command in the completion without closing it.
  * `--private` and `--related` flags for `:edit-url`, which have the
    same effect they have with `:open`.
  * `--history` for `:completion-item-focus` which causes it to go
    through the command history when no text was entered. The default bindings for
    cursor keys in the completion changed to use that, so that they can be used
    again to navigate through completion items when a text was entered.
  * `--file` for `:debug-pyeval` which makes it take a filename instead of a
    line of code.
- New `config.source(...)` method for `config.py` to source another file.
- New `{line}` and `{column}` replacements for `editor.command` to position the
  cursor correctly.
- New `qute-pass` userscript as alternative to `password_fill` which allows
  selecting accounts via rofi or any other dmenu-compatile application.
- New `hist_importer.py` script to import history from Firefox/Chromium.

Changed
~~~~~~~

- Some settings got renamed:
  * `tabs.width.bar` -> `tabs.width`
  * `tabs.width.indicator` -> `tabs.indicator.width`
  * `tabs.indicator_padding` -> `tabs.indicator.padding`
  * `session_default_name` -> `session.default_name`
  * `ignore_case` -> `search.ignore_case`
- Much improved user stylesheet handling for QtWebEngine which reduces
  flickering and updates immediately after setting a stylesheet.
- High-DPI favicons are now used when available.
- The `asciidoc2html.py` script now uses Pygments (which is already a dependency
  of qutebrowser) instead of `source-highlight` for syntax highlighting.
- The `:buffer` command now doesn't require quoting anymore, similar to `:open`.
- The `importer.py` script was largely rewritten and now also supports importing
  from Firefox' `places.sqlite` file and Chrome/Chromium profiles.
- Various internal refactorings to use Python 3.5 and ECMAscript 6 features.
- If the `window.hide_wayland_decoration` setting is False, but
  `QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION` is set in the environment,
  the decorations are still hidden.
- The `install_dict.py` script for QtWebEngine was renamed to `dictcli.py` and
  can now also upgrade dictionaries correctly.
- `:undo` now can re-open multiple tabs after `:tab-only` was used.
- `:config-write-py` with a relative path now puts the file into the config
  directory.
- The `qute://version` page now also shows the uptime of qutebrowser.
- qutebrowser now prompts to create a non-existing directory when starting a
  download.
- `:jseval --file` now searches relative paths in a `js/` subdir in
  qutebrowser's data dir, e.g. `~/.local/share/qutebrowser/js`.
- The current/default bindings are now shown in the ``:bind` completion.
- Empty categories are now hidden in the `:open` completion.
- Search terms for URLs and titles can now be mixed when filtering the
  completion.
- The default font size for the UI got bumped up from 8pt to 10pt.
- Improved matching in the completion: The words entered are now matched in any
  order, and mixed matches on URL/tite are possible.
- The system's default encoding (rather than UTF-8) is now used to decode
  subprocess output.
- qutebrowser now ensures it's focused again after an external editor is closed.
- The `colors.completion.fg` setting can now be a list, allowing to specify
  different colors for the three completion columns.

------

Major changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Dependency changes:
  * Support for legacy QtWebKit (before 5.212 which is
    https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki[distributed independently from Qt])
    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 http://www.attrs.org/[attrs] 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 link: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.
- Up/Down now navigates through the command history instead of selecting
  completion items. Either use Tab to cycle through the completion, or
  https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/doc/help/configuring.asciidoc#migrating-older-configurations[restore the old behavior].

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.

Added
~~~~~

~~~~~~~

- Hints are now drawn natively in Qt instead of using web elements. This has a
  few implications for users:
    * The `hints -> opacity` setting does not exist anymore, but you can use
      `rgba(r, g, b, alpha)` colors instead for `colors -> hints.bg`.
    * The `hints -> font` setting is not affected by
      `fonts -> web-family-fixed` anymore. Thus, a transformer got added to
      change `Monospace` to `${_monospace}`.
    * Gradients in hint colors can now be configured by using `qlineargradient`
      and friends instead of `-webkit-gradient`. The most common cases get
      migrated automatically, but if you drastically changed the defaults,
      you'll need to manually adjust your config.
    * Styling hints by styling `qutehint` elements in `user-stylesheet` was
      never officially supported and does not work anymore.
    * Hints are now not affected by the page's stylesheet or zoom anymore.
- `:bookmark-add` now has a `--toggle` flag which deletes the bookmark if it
  already exists.
- `:bookmark-load` now has a `--delete` flag which deletes the bookmark after
  loading it.
- `:open` now also accepts quickmark names instead of URLs
- `:tab-move` now optionally takes an index for absolute moving.
- Commands taking either an argument or a count (like `:zoom` or `:tab-focus`)
  now prefer the count instead of showing an error message.
- `:open` now has an `--implicit` argument to treat the opened tab as implicit
  (i.e. to open it at the position it would be opened if it was a clicked link)
- `:download-open` and `:prompt-open-download` now have an optional `cmdline`
  argument to pass a commandline to open the download with.
- `:yank` now has a position argument to select what to yank instead of using
  flags.
- Replacements like `{url}` can now also be used in the middle of an argument.
  Consequently, commands taking another command (`:later`, `:repeat` and
  `:bind`) now don't immediately evaluate variables.
- Tab titles in the `:buffer` completion now update correctly when a page's
  title is changed via javascript.
- `:hint` now has a `--mode <mode>` flag to override the hint mode configured
  using the `hints -> mode` setting.
- With `new-instance-open-target` set to a tab option, the tab is now opened in
  the most recently focused (instead of the last opened) window. This can be
  configured with the new `new-instance-open-target.window` setting.
  It can also be set to `last-visible` to show the pages in the most recently
  visible window, or `first-opened` to use the first (oldest) available window.
- Word hints now are more clever about getting the element text from some elements.
- Completions for `:help` and `:bind` now also show hidden commands
- The `:buffer` completion now also filters using the first column (id).
- `:undo` has been improved to reopen tabs at the position they were closed.
- `:navigate` now takes a count for `up`/`increment`/`decrement`.
- The `hints -> auto-follow` setting now can be set to
  `always`/`full-match`/`unique-match`/`never` to more precisely control when
  hints should be followed automatically.
- Counts can now be used with special keybindings (e.g. with modifiers).
  This was already implemented for v0.7.0 originally, but got reverted because
  it caused some issues and then never re-applied.
- Sending a command to an existing instance (via "qutebrowser :reload") now
  doesn't mark it as urgent anymore.
- `tabs -> title-format` now treats an empty string as valid.
- Bindings for `:`, `/` and `?` are now configured explicitly and not hardcoded
  anymore.
- The `completion -> show` setting can now be set to `always`, `auto` or
  `never`.
- `:open-editor` can now be used in any mode.
- Lots of improvements to and bugfixes for the QtWebEngine backend, such as
  working hints. However, using qutebrowser directly from git is still advised
  when using `--backend webengine`.
- `content -> javascript-can-open-windows` got renamed to
  `javascript-can-open-windows-automatically`.
- `:prompt-accept` now optionally accepts a value which overrides the one
  entered in the input box. `yes` and `no` can be used as values for yes/no
  questions.
- The new `--qt-arg` and `--qt-flag` arguments can be used to pass
  arguments/flags to Qt's commandline.
- Error/warning/info messages are now shown stacked above the statusbar.
  This also added various new settings:
    * `colors -> messages.fg.error` (renamed from `statusbar.fg.error`)
    * `colors -> messages.bg.error` (renamed from `statusbar.bg.error`)
    * `colors -> messages.border.error`
    * `colors -> messages.fg.warning` (renamed from `statusbar.fg.warning`)
    * `colors -> messages.bg.warning` (renamed from `statusbar.bg.warning`)
    * `colors -> messages.border.warning`
    * `colors -> messages.fg.info`
    * `colors -> messages.bg.info`
    * `colors -> messages.border.info`
    * `fonts -> messages.error`
    * `fonts -> messages.warning`
    * `fonts -> messages.info`
- The `qute:settings` page now also shows option descriptions.
- `qute:version` and `qutebrowser --version` now show various important paths
- `:spawn`/userscripts now show a nicer error when a script wasn't found
- Various functionality now works when javascript is disabled with QtWebKit
- Various commands/settings taking `left`/`right`/`previous` arguments now take
  `prev`/`next`/`last-used` to remove ambiguity.
- The `ui -> user-stylesheet` setting now only takes filenames, not CSS snippets
- `ui -> window-title-format` now has a new `{backend} ` replacement
- `:hint` has a new `--add-history` argument to add the URL to the history for
  yank/spawn targets.
- `:set` now cycles through values if more than one argument is given.
- `:open` now opens `default-page` without an URL even without `-t`/`-b`/`-w` given.

Deprecated
~~~~~~~~~~

- The `:paste` command got deprecated as `:open` with `{clipboard}` and
  `{primary}` can be used instead.
- The `:paste-primary` command got deprecated as `:insert-text {primary}` can
  be used instead.

  and thus removed.
- The `:completion-item-prev` and `:completion-item-next` commands got merged

  X .app currently.
- Hide Harfbuzz warning with the macOS .app

v0.8.0
------

Added
~~~~~

  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.

Removed
-------

  `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.

  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)

  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 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.

- Added workaround for a Qt/PyQt bug which is too weird to describe here

v0.6.0
------

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.

  for hints instead of single characters.
- New `--all` argument for `:download-cancel` to cancel all running downloads.

- 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`.

- Don't remove `qutebrowser-editor-*` temporary file if editor subprocess crashed
- Userscripts are also searched in `/usr/share/qutebrowser/userscripts`.

Changed
~~~~~~~

- *Breaking change for userscripts:* `QUTE_HTML` and `QUTE_TEXT` for userscripts now don't store the contents directly, and instead contain a filename.
- The `content -> geolocation` and `notifications` settings now support a `true` value to always allow those. However, this is *not recommended*.
- New bindings `<Ctrl-R>` (rapid), `<Ctrl-F>` (foreground) and `<Ctrl-B>` (background) to switch hint modes while hinting.
- `<Ctrl-M>` and numpad-enter are now bound by default for bindings where `<Return>` was bound.
- `:hint tab` and `F` now respect the `background-tabs` setting. To enforce a foreground tab (what `F` did before), use `:hint tab-fg` or `;f`.
- `:scroll` now takes a direction argument (`up`/`down`/`left`/`right`/`top`/`bottom`/`page-up`/`page-down`) instead of two pixel arguments (`dx`/`dy`). The old form still works but is deprecated.
- The `ui -> user-stylesheet` setting now also takes file paths relative to the config directory.
- The `content -> cookies-accept` setting now has new `no-3rdparty` (default) and `no-unknown-3rdparty` values to block third-party cookies. The `default` value got renamed to `all`.
- Improved startup time by reading the webpage history while qutebrowser is open.
- The way `:spawn` splits its commandline has been changed slightly to allow commands with flags.
- The default for the `new-instance-open-target` setting has been changed to `tab`.
- Sessions now store zoom/scroll-position separately for each entry.

Deprecated
~~~~~~~~~~

- `:scroll` with two pixel-arguments is now deprecated - `:scroll-px` should be used instead.

Removed

- Alternating row colors in completion. This adds a new `colors -> completion.alternate-bg` option.

Changed
~~~~~~~

- Ignore quotes with maxsplit-commands (`:open`, `:quickmark-load`, etc.) and don't quote arguments for those commands in the completions. This also means some commands needed adjustments:
    * Clear search when `:search` without arguments is given.  (`:search ""` will now search for the literal text `""`)

- Always open URLs given as argument in the foreground.
- Improve various error messages.
- Add `startpage`/`default-page` values to `tabs -> last-close`.
- Various improvements to `:restart` - it should be more robust now and uses sessions so all state (focused tab, scroll position, etc.) gets remembered.
- Add tab index display to the statusbar.
- Keep progress bar height fixed when the statusbar is multiline.
- Many improvements to tests and related infrastructure:
    * `init_venv.py` and `run_checks.py` have been replaced by http://tox.readthedocs.org/[tox]. Install tox and run `tox -e mkvenv` instead.
