# Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning, though minor breaking changes (such as renamed commands) can happen in minor releases.

## v1.5.2

### Changed

- The `content.cookies.accept` setting is now set to `all` instead of `no-3rdparty` by default, as `no-3rdparty` breaks various pages such as GMail.

## v1.5.1

### Fixed

- Flickering when opening/closing tabs (as soon as more than 10 are open) on some pages.

- PDF.js is now bundled again with the macOS/Windows release.

- PDF.js is now searched in the correct path (if not installed system-wide) instead of hardcoding `~/.local/share/qutebrowser`.

- Improved logging for PDF.js resources which fail to load.

- Crash when closing a tab after doing a search.

- Tabs appearing when hidden after e.g. closing tabs.

## v1.5.0

### Added

- Rewritten PDF.js support:

  - PDF.js support and the `content.pdfjs` setting are now also available with QtWebEngine.

  - Opening a PDF file now doesn’t start a second request anymore.

  - Opening PDFs on https:// sites now works properly.

  - New `--pdfjs` flag for `prompt-open-download`, so PDFs can be opened in PDF.js with `<Ctrl-P>` in the download prompt.

- New settings:

  - `content.mouse_lock` to handle HTML5 pointer locking.

  - `completion.web_history.exclude` which hides a list of URL patterns from the completion.

  - `qt.process_model` which can be used to change Chromium’s process model.

  - `qt.low_end_device_mode` which turns on Chromium’s low-end device mode. This mode uses less RAM, but the expense of performance.

  - `content.webrtc_ip_handling_policy`, which allows more fine-grained/restrictive control about which IPs are exposed via WebRTC.

  - `tabs.max_width` which allows to have a more "normal" look for tabs.

  - `content.mute` which allows to mute pages (or all tabs) by default.

- Running qutebrowser with QtWebKit or Qt < 5.9 now shows a warning (only once), as support for those is going to be removed in a future release.

- New t[iI][hHu] default bindings (similar to `tsh` etc.) to toggle images.

- The qute-pass userscript now has optional OTP support.

- When `:spawn --userscript` is called with a count, that count is now passed to userscripts as `$QUTE_COUNT`.

### Changed

- Windows and macOS releases now bundle Python 3.7, PyQt 5.11.3 and Qt 5.11.2. QtWebEngine includes security fixes up to Chromium 68.0.3440.75 and various other fixes.

- Various performance improvements when many tabs are opened.

- The `content.headers.referer` setting now works on QtWebEngine.

- The `:repeat` command now takes a count which is multiplied with the given "times" argument.

- The default keybinding to leave passthrough mode was changed from `<Ctrl-V>` to `<Shift-Escape>`, which makes pasting from the clipboard easier in passthrough mode and is also unlikely to conflict with webpage bindings.

- The `app_id` is now set to `qutebrowser` for Wayland.

- `Command` or `Cmd` can now be used (instead of `Meta`) to map the Command key on macOS.

- Using `:set option` now shows the value of the setting (like `:set option?` already did).

- The `completion.web_history_max_items` setting got renamed to `completion.web_history.max_items`.

- The Makefile shipped with qutebrowser now supports overriding variables `DATADIR` and `MANDIR`.

- Regenerating completion history now shows a progress dialog.

- The `content.autoplay` setting now supports URL patterns on Qt >= 5.11.

- The `content.host_blocking.whitelist` setting now takes a list of URL patterns instead of globs.

- In passthrough mode, Ctrl + Mousewheel now also gets passed through to the page instead of zooming.

- Editing text in an external editor now simulates a JS "input" event, which improves compatibility with websites reacting via JS to input.

- The `qute://settings` page is now properly sorted on Python 3.5.

- `:zoom`, `:zoom-in` and `:zoom-out` now have a `--quiet` switch which causes them to not display a message.

- The `scrolling.bar` setting now takes three values instead of being a boolean: `always`, `never`, and `when-searching` (which only displays it while a search is active).

- @@ now repeats the last run macro.

- The `content.host_blocking.lists` setting now accepts a `file://` URL to a directory, and reads all files in that directory.

- The `:tab-give` and `:tab-take` command now have a new flag `--keep` which causes them to keep the old tab around.

- `:navigate` now clears the URL query.

### Fixed

- `qute://` pages now work properly on Qt 5.11.2

- Error when passing a substring with spaces to `:tab-take`.

- Greasemonkey scripts which start with an UTF-8 BOM are now handled correctly.

- When no documentation has been generated, the plaintext documentation now can be shown for more files such as `qute://help/userscripts.html`.

- Crash when doing initial run on Wayland without XWayland.

- Crash when trying to load an empty session file.

- `:hint` with an invalid `--mode=` value now shows a proper error.

- Rare crash on Qt 5.11.2 when clicking on `<select>` elements.

- Rare crash related to the completion.

### Removed

- Support for importing pre-v1.0.0 history files has been removed.

- The `content.webrtc_public_interfaces_only` setting has been removed and replaced by `content.webrtc_ip_handling_policy`.

## v1.4.2

### Changed

- The `content.xss_auditing` setting is now enabled by default, to mirror Chromium’s rather than Qt’s default behavior.

- Long URLs in the statusbar are now elided at the end rather than in the middle, to make sure the hostname is completely visible whenever possible.

### Fixed

- Crash in Qt 5.7.1 when a website uses `window.print()`.

- The workaround for Nouveau graphic drivers now works properly again.

- Crash when using `:follow-selected` with a link which is outside of the view.

- Workaround for windows not showing as urgent with some window managers (like i3).

- Crash when opening URLs with some unicode characters (IDNA 2008). Those URLs still won’t open though, due to missing support in Qt.

- Crash when a download directory which can’t be created is configured.

- Crash in the `importer.py` script when importing Chrome bookmarks from newer Chrome versions.

- The `content.webrtc_public_interfaces_only` option didn’t work on Qt 5.11 previously (it now does). Note it still does not work on Qt 5.10 (due to a Qt bug) and Qt < 5.9.2.

- Repeated escaping of entries in `qute://log` when refreshing page.

- The host blocker doesn’t block 0.0.0.0 anymore.

- Crash when using :// as URL pattern.

- The `:buffer` completion now sorts tabs with indices >= 10 correctly again.

## v1.4.1

### Security

- CVE-2018-10895: Fix CSRF issue on the qute://settings page, leading to possible arbitrary code execution. See the related GitHub issue for details: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4060

### Fixed

- Rare crash when an error occurs in downloads.

- Newlines are now stripped from the :version pastebin URL.

- There’s a new `mkvenv-pypi-old` environment in `tox.ini` which installs an older Qt, which is needed on Ubuntu 16.04.

- Worked around a Qt issue which redirects to a `chrome-error://` page when trying to use U2F.

- The `link_pyqt.py` script now works correctly with PyQt 5.11.

- The Windows installer now uninstalls the old version before installing the new one, fixing issues with qutebrowser not starting after installing v1.4.0 over v1.3.3.

## v1.4.0

### Added

- Support for the bundled `sip` module in PyQt 5.11 and other changes in Qt/PyQt 5.11.x.

- New `--debug-flag log-requests` to log requests to the debug log for debugging.

- New `--first` flag for `:hint` (bound to `gi` for inputs) which automatically selects the first hint.

- New `input.escape_quits_reporter` setting which can be used to avoid accidentally quitting the crash reporter when pressing escape.

- The Makefile now installs a `/usr/share/metainfo/qutebrowser.appdata.xml` file.

- QtWebEngine: Support for printing from webpages via `window.print`.

- QtWebEngine: Support for muting tabs:

  - New `{audio}` field for `window.title_format` and `tabs.title.format` which displays `[M]`/`[A]` for muted/recently audible tabs.

  - New `:tab-mute` command (bound to `<Alt-m>`) to mute/unmute a tab.

- QtWebEngine: Support for `content.cookies.accept` with third-party cookies blocked by default (requires Qt 5.11).

- QtWebEngine: New settings:

  - Support for requesting persistent storage via `navigator.webkitPersistentStorage.requestQuota` with a new `content.persistent_storage` setting (requires Qt 5.11). This setting also supports URL patterns.

  - Support for registering custom protocol handlers via `navigator.registerProtocolHandler` with a new `content.register_protocol_handler` setting (requires Qt 5.11). This setting also supports URL patterns.

  - Support for WebRTC screen sharing with a new `content.desktop_capture` setting (requires Qt 5.10). This setting also supports URL patterns.

  - New `content.autoplay` setting to enable/disable automatic video playback (requires Qt 5.10).

  - New `content.webrtc_public_interfaces_only` setting to only expose public interfaces over WebRTC (requires Qt 5.9.2 or 5.11).

  - New `content.canvas_reading` setting to disable reading from canvas elements.

### Changed

- The following settings now support URL patterns:

  - `content.headers.do_not_track`

  - `content.headers.user_agent`

  - `content.ssl_strict`

  - `content.geolocation`

  - `content.notifications`

  - `content.media_capture`

- The Windows/macOS releases now bundle Qt 5.11.1 which is based on Chromium 65.0.3325.151 with security fixes up to Chromium 67.0.3396.87.

- New short flags for commandline arguments: `-B` and `-T` for `--basedir` and `--temp-basedir`; `-d` and `-D` for `--debug` and `--debug-flag`.

- Deleting history items via `:history-clear` or `:completion-item-del` now also removes that URL from QtWebEngine’s visited links.

- There’s now completion for commands taking a variable count of arguments (like `:config-cycle`).

- QtWebEngine: On Qt 5.11.1, no reloads are needed anymore when switching between pages with changed settings (e.g. `content.javascript.enabled`).

- The `qt.force_software_rendering` setting changed from a boolean to taking different values (`software-opengl`, `qt-quick` and `chromium`) for different kinds of software rendering workarounds.

- On Qt 5.11, using wayland with QtWebEngine is now possible when using software rendering.

- GreaseMonkey scripts now get their own global scope (based on the page’s one), which allows scripts like OneeChan to work.

- Rapid hinting is now supported with the `yank` and `yank-primary` targets, copying newline-separated links.

- QtWebEngine: On Qt 5.11, the developer tools (inspector) can now be used securely and without requiring the `--enable-webengine-inspector` option.

- The `<Enter>` key (`:follow-selected`) now follows the currently focused element if there’s no selection.

- The `--logfilter` argument now can be prepended with an exclamation mark (e.g. `--logfilter '!init,destroy'`) to invert the filter.

- `:view-source` now has a `--pygments` flag which uses the "old" way of rendering sources even with QtWebEngine.

- Improved error messages when a setting needs a newer Qt version.

- QtWebEngine: Various improvements to make the cursor more visible in caret browsing.

- When a prompt is opened in insert/passthrough mode, the mode is restored after closing the prompt.

- On Qt 5.10 or newer, dictionaries are now read from the qutebrowser data directory (e.g. `~/.local/share/qutebrowser`) instead of `/usr/share/qt`. Existing dictionaries are copied over.

- If an error while parsing `~/.netrc` occurs, the cause of the error is now logged.

- On Qt 5.9 or newer, certificate errors now show Chromium’s detailed error page.

- Greasemonkey scripts now support a "@qute-js-world" tag to run them in a different JavaScript context.

### Fixed

- Various subtle keyboard focus issues.

- The security fix in v1.3.3 caused URLs with ampersands (`www.example.com?one=1&two=2`) to send the wrong arguments when clicked on the `qute://history` page.

- Crash when opening a PDF page with PDF.js enabled (on QtWebKit), but no PDF.js installed.

- Crash when closing a tab shortly after opening it.

### Removed

- No prebuilt binaries for 32-bit Windows are supplied anymore. This is due to Qt removing QtWebEngine support for those upstream. It might be possible to distribute 32-bit binaries again with Qt 5.12 in December, but that will only happen if it turns out enough people actually need 32-bit support.

- `:tab-detach` which has been deprecated in v1.1.0 has been removed.

- The `content.developer_extras` setting got removed. On QtWebKit, developer extras are now automatically enabled when opening the inspector.

## v1.3.3

### Security

- An XSS vulnerability on the `qute://history` page allowed websites to inject HTML into the page via a crafted title tag. This could allow them to steal your browsing history. If you’re currently unable to upgrade, avoid using `:history`. A CVE request for this issue is pending, see #4011 for updates.

### Fixed

- Crash in a workaround for a Qt 5.11 bug in rare circumstances.

- Workaround for a Qt bug which preserves searches between page loads.

- In v1.3.2 a dependency on the `PyQt5.QtQuickWidgets` module was accidentally introduced. Since that module isn’t packaged everywhere, it’s been removed again.

## v1.3.2

### Fixed

- QtWebEngine: Improved workaround for a bug in Qt 5.11 where only the top/bottom half of the window is used.

- QtWebEngine: Work around a bug in Qt 5.11 where an endless loading-loop is triggered when clicking a link with an unknown scheme.

- QtWebEngine: When switching between pages with changed settings, less unnecessary reloads are done now.

- QtWebEngine: It’s now possible to open external links such as `magnet://` or `mailto:` via hints.

## v1.3.1

### Fixed

- Work around a bug in Qt 5.11 where only the top/bottom half of the window is used. This workaround is incomplete, but fixes the majority of the cases where this happens.

- Work around keyboard focus issues with Qt 5.11.

- Work around an issue in Qt 5.11 where e.g. activating JavaScript per-domain needed a manual reload in some cases.

- Don’t crash when a ² key is pressed (e.g. on AZERTY keyboards).

- Don’t crash when a tab is opened and quickly closed again.

## v1.3.0

### Added

- New `:scroll-to-anchor` command to scroll to an anchor in the document.

- New `url.open_base_url` option to open the base URL of a searchengine when no search term is given.

- New `tabs.min_width` setting to configure the minimal width for tabs.

- New userscripts:

  - `getbib` to download bibtex information for DOIs on a page.

  - `qute-keepass` to get passwords from KeePassX.

### Changed

- QtWebEngine: Support for JavaScript Shared Web Workers have been disabled on Qt versions older than 5.11 because of security issues in in Chromium. You can get the same effect in earlier versions via `:set qt.args ['disable-shared-workers']`. An equivalent workaround is also contained in Qt 5.9.5 and 5.10.1.

- The file dialog for downloads now has basic tab completion based on the entered text.

- `:version` now shows OS information for POSIX OS other than Linux/macOS.

- When there’s an error inserting the text from an external editor, a backup file is now saved.

- The `window.hide_wayland_decoration` setting got renamed to `window.hide_decoration` and now also works outside of wayland.

- The `tabs.favicons.show` setting now can take three values: `'always'` (was `True`), `'never'` (was `False`) and `'pinned'` (to only show favicons for pinned tabs).

- Hover tooltips on tabs now always show the webpage’s title.

- The default value for `content.host_blocking.lists` was changed to only include Steven Black’s hosts-list which combines various sources.

- Error messages when trying to wrap when `tabs.wrap` is `False` are now logged to debug instead of messages.

### Fixed

- Using hints before a page is fully loaded is now possible again.

- Selecting hints with the number keypad now works again.

- Tab titles for tabs loaded from sessions should now really be correct instead of showing the URL.

- Loading URLs with customized settings from a session now avoids an additional reload.

- The window icon and title now get set correctly again.

- The `tabs.switching_delay` setting now has a correct maximum value limit set.

- The `taskadd` script now works properly when there’s multi-line output.

- QtWebEngine: Worked around issues with GreaseMonkey/stylesheets not being loaded correctly in some situations.

- The keyhint widget now shows the correct text for chained modifiers.

- Loading GreaseMonkey scripts now also works with Jinja2 2.8 (e.g. on Debian Stable).

- Adding styles with GreaseMonkey on fast sites now works properly.

- Window ID 0 is now excluded properly from `:tab-take` completion.

- A rare crash when cancelling a download has been fixed.

- The Makefile (intended for packagers) now supports `PREFIX` properly.

- The workaround for a black window with Nvidia graphics is now enabled on non-Linux systems (like FreeBSD) as well.

- Initial support for Qt 5.11.

- Checking for a new version after sending a crash report now works properly again.

- `@match` in Greasemonkey scripts now more closely matches the proper pattern syntax.

- Searching via `/` or `?` now doesn’t handle any characters in a special way.

- Fixed crash when trying to retry some failed downloads on QtWebEngine.

- An invalid spellcheck dictionary filename now doesn’t crash anymore.

- When no spellcheck dictionaries are configured, it’s now disabled internally. This works around an issue with entering special characters on Facebook messenger.

- The macOS release now should work again on macOS 10.11 and newer.

## v1.2.1

### Fixed

- qutebrowser now starts properly when the PyQt5 QOpenGLFunctions package wasn’t found.

- The keybinding cheatsheet on the quickstart page is now loaded from a local `qute://` URL again.

- With "tox -e mkvenv-pypi", PyQt 5.10.0 is used again instead of Qt 5.10.1, because of an issue with Qt 5.10.1 which causes qutebrowser to fail to start ("Could not find QtWebEngineProcess").

- Unbinding keys which were bound in older qutebrowser versions now doesn’t crash anymore.

- Fixed a crash when reloading a page which wasn’t fully loaded with v1.2.0

- Keys on the numeric keypad now fall back to the same bindings without `Num+` if no `Num+` binding was found.

- Titles are now displayed correctly again for tabs which are cloned or loaded from sessions.

- Shortcuts now correctly use `Ctrl` instead of `Command` on macOS again.

## v1.2.0

### Added

- Initial implementation of per-domain settings:

  - `:set` and `:config-cycle` now have a `-u`/`--pattern` argument taking a URL match pattern for supported settings.

  - `config.set` in `config.py` now takes a third argument which is the pattern.

  - New `with config.pattern('...') as p:` context manager for `config.py` to use the shorthand syntax with a pattern.

  - New `tsh` keybinding to toggle scripts for the current host. With a capital `S`, the toggle is saved. With a capital `H`, subdomains are included. With `u` instead of `h`, the exact current URL is used.

  - New `tph` keybinding to toggle plugins, with the same additional binding described above.

- New QtWebEngine features:

  - Caret/visual mode

  - Authentication via ~/.netrc

  - Retrying downloads with Qt 5.10 or newer

  - Hinting and other features inside same-origin frames

- New flags for existing commands:

  - `:session-load` has a new `--delete` flag which deletes the session after loading it.

  - New `--no-last` flag for `:tab-focus` to not focus the last tab when focusing the currently focused one.

  - New `--edit` flag for `:view-source` to open the source in an external editor.

  - New `--select` flag for `:follow-hint` which acts like the given string was entered but doesn’t necessary follow the hint.

- New special pages:

  - `qute://bindings` (opened via `:bind`) which shows all keybindings.

  - `qute://tabs` (opened via `:buffer`) which lists all tabs.

- New settings:

  - `statusbar.widgets` to configure which widgets should be shown in which order in the statusbar.

  - `tabs.mode_on_change` which replaces `tabs.persist_mode_on_change`. It can now be set to `restore` which remembers input modes (input/passthrough) per tab.

  - `input.insert_mode.auto_enter` which makes it possible to disable entering insert mode automatically when an editable element was clicked. Together with `input.forward_unbound_keys`, this should allow for emacs-like "modeless" keybindings.

- New `:prompt-yank` command (bound to `Alt-y` by default) to yank URLs referenced in prompts.

- The `hostblock_blame` script which was removed in v1.0 was updated for the new config and re-added.

- New `cycle-inputs.js` script in `scripts/` which can be used with `:jseval -f` to cycle through inputs.

### Changed

- Complete refactoring of key input handling, with various effects:

  - emacs-like keychains such as `<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-C>` can now be bound.

  - Key chains can now be bound in any mode (this allows binding unused keys in hint mode).

  - Yes/no prompts don’t use keybindings from the `prompt` section anymore, they have their own `yesno` section instead.

  - Trying to bind invalid keys now shows an error.

  - The `bindings.default` setting can now only be set in a `config.py`, and existing values in `autoconfig.yml` are ignored.

- Improvements for GreaseMonkey support:

  - `@include` and `@exclude` now support regex matches. With QtWebEngine and Qt 5.8 and newer, Qt handles the matching, but similar functionality will be added in Qt 5.11.

  - Support for `@requires`

  - Support for the GreaseMonkey 4.0 API

- The sqlite history now uses write-ahead logging which should be a performance and stability improvement.

- When an editor is spawned with `:open-editor` and `:config-edit`, the changes are now applied as soon as the file is saved in the editor.

- The `hist_importer.py` script now only imports URL schemes qutebrowser can handle.

- Deleting a prefix (`:`, `/` or `?`) via backspace now leaves command mode.

- Angular 1 elements and `<summary>`/`<details>` now get hints assigned.

- `:tab-only` with pinned tabs now still closes unpinned tabs.

- The `url.incdec_segments` option now also can take `port` as possible segment.

- QtWebEngine: `:view-source` now uses Chromium’s `view-source:` scheme.

- Tabs now show their full title as tooltip.

- When there are multiple unknown keys in a autoconfig.yml, they now all get reported in one error.

- More performance improvements when opening/closing many tabs.

- The `:version` page now has a button to pastebin the information.

- Replacements like `{url}` can now be escaped as `{{url}}`.

### Fixed

- QtWebEngine bugfixes:

  - Improved fullscreen handling with Qt 5.10.

  - Hinting and scrolling now works properly on special `view-source:` pages.

  - Scroll positions are now restored correctly from sessions.

  - `:follow-selected` should now work in more cases with Qt > 5.10.

  - Incremental search now flickers less and doesn’t move to the second result when pressing Enter.

  - Keys like `Ctrl-V` or `Shift-Insert` are now correctly handled/filtered with Qt 5.10.

  - Fixed favicons sometimes getting cleared with Qt 5.10.

  - Qt download objects are now cleaned up properly when a download is removed.

  - JavaScript messages are now not double-HTML escaped anymore on Qt < 5.11

- QtWebKit bugfixes:

  - Fixed GreaseMonkey-related crashes.

  - `:view-source` now displays a valid URL.

- URLs containing ampersands and other special chars are now shown correctly when filtering them in the completion.

- `:bookmark-add "" foo` can now be used to save the current URL with a custom title.

- `:spawn -o` now waits until the process has finished before trying to show the output. Previously, it incorrectly showed the previous output immediately.

- When using `:bookmark-add --toggle`, bookmarks are now saved properly.

- Crash when opening an invalid URL from an application on macOS.

- Crash with an empty `completion.timestamp_format`.

- Crash when `completion.min_chars` is set in some cases.

- HTML/JS resource files are now read into RAM on start to avoid crashes when changing qutebrowser versions while it’s open.

- Bindings to an empty commands are now ignored rather than crashing.

### Removed

- `QUTE_SELECTED_HTML` is now not set for userscripts anymore except when called via hints.

- The `qutebrowser_viewsource` userscript has been removed as `:view-source --edit` can now be used.

- The `tabs.persist_mode_on_change` setting has been removed and replaced by `tabs.mode_on_change`.

## 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.

## v1.0.0

### Major changes

- Dependency changes:

  - Support for legacy QtWebKit (before 5.212 which is 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 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 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 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.

- 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.

- Support for PAC (proxy autoconfig) with QtWebKit

### Changed

- 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.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 `xhtml11 ` 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.

- The `:prompt-yes` and `:prompt-no` commands got deprecated as `:prompt-accept yes` and `:prompt-accept no` can be used instead.

### Removed

- The `:yank-selected` command got merged into `:yank` as `:yank selection` and thus removed.

- The `:completion-item-prev` and `:completion-item-next` commands got merged into a new `:completion-focus {prev,next}` command and thus removed.

- The `ui -> hide-mouse-cursor` setting since it was completely broken and nobody seemed to care.

- The `hints -> opacity` setting - see the "Changed" section for details.

- The `completion -> auto-open` setting got merged into `completion -> show` and thus removed.

- All `--qt-*` arguments got replaced by `--qt-arg` and `--qt-flag` and thus removed.

- The `-c`/`--confdir`, `--datadir` and `--cachedir` arguments got removed, as `--basedir` should be sufficient.

- Hide Harfbuzz warning with the macOS .app

## v0.8.0

- 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.

- 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.

- New `inputs` group for `:hint` to hint text input fields.

### Changed

- qutebrowser got a new (slightly updated) logo

- Number hints are now renumbered after filtering

- Number hints can now be filtered with multiple space-separated search terms

- 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 a URL with SSL errors

- 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.

- 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.

- Add tab index display to the statusbar.

- Keep progress bar height fixed when the statusbar is multiline.
