Fixed:
* New `qt.workarounds.disable_accessibility` setting, which
disables Chromium accessibility support. By default, is it set
to `auto`, which only disables accessibility on Qt versions
with known issues. This works around a bug in Qt 6.10.1 causing
frequent segfaults.

- Update to version 3.6.1:
Fixed:
* A regression in v3.6.0 where the page didn't have keyboard
focus after closing the completion, so e.g. typing in an input
field after hinting didn't work.
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#8750
- Changes in 3.6.0:
Added:
* The `:version` info now shows additional information:
+ The X11 window manager / Wayland compositor name (mostly
useful for bug/crash reports).
+ Loaded WebExtensions (partial support landed in
QtWebEngine 6.10, no official qutebrowser support yet).
* Support for hinting elements which are part of an (open) shadow
DOM.
Changed:
* The `qutedmenu` userscript now sorts history by the last access
time.
* Hardware accelerated 2D canvas is now enabled by default on
Qt 6.8.2+, as graphic glitches with e.g. PDF.js and Google
Sheets should be fixed nowadays. If you still run into issues,
please report them and set
`qt.workarounds.disable_accelerated_2d_canvas` to `always`
to disable it again.
Fixed:
* Fixed crash if two new downloads start while a download prompt
is already open
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#8674.
* Fixed exception when closing a qutebrowser window while a
download prompt is still open.

- Update to version 3.5.1:
Deprecated:
* QtWebKit (legacy) support got removed from CI and is now
untested. If it breaks, it’s not going to be fixed, and support
will be removed over the next releases.
* Qt 5 support is currently still tested, but is also planned to
get removed over the next releases. Same goes for support for
older Qt 6 versions
Fixed:
* A bogus "wildcard call disconnects from destroyed signal"
warning from Qt is now suppressed.
* A "Ignoring new child …" debug log message which got spammy
with Qt 6.9 is now removed.
* A unknown crash (possibly related to using devtools) due to
weird (Py)Qt behavior now has a workaround.
* No "QtWebEngine version mismatch" warning is now logged anymore
with newer Qt 5.15 releases
(but you should still stop using Qt 5).
* The PDF.js version can now correctly be extracted/displayed
with newer PDF.js versions.
* The qute-bitwarden, -lastpass and -pass userscripts now
properly avoid a DeprecationWarning from the upcoming 6.0
release of tldextract.
The previous fix in v3.5.0 was insufficient.

- Update to version 3.5.0:
Changed:
* The `content.headers.user_agent` setting now has a new
`{upstream_browser_version_short}` template field, which is the
upstream/Chromium version but shortened to only major version.
* The default user agent now uses the shortened Chromium version
and doesn't expose the `QtWebEngine/...` part anymore, thus
making it equal to the corresponding Chromium user agent.
This increases compatibilty due to various overzealous
"security" products used by a variety of websites that block
QtWebEngine, presumably as a bot (known issues existed with
Whatsapp Web, UPS, Digitec Galaxus).
* Changed features in userscripts:
+ `qute-bitwarden` now passes your password to the subprocess
in an environment variable when unlocking your vault,
instead of as a command line argument.
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#7781
* New `-D no-system-pdfjs` debug flag to ignore system-wide
PDF.js installations for testing.
* Polyfill for missing `URL.parse` with PDF.js v5 and
QtWebEngine < 6.9. Note this is a "best effort" fix and you
should be using the "older browsers" ("legacy") build of
PDF.js instead.
Removed:
* The `ua-slack` site-specific quirk, as things seem to work
better nowadays without a quirk needed.
* The `ua-whatsapp` site-specific quirk, as it's unneeded with
the default UA change described above.

- Update to version 3.4.0:
Removed
* Support for Python 3.8 is dropped, and Python 3.9 is now
required.
Changed
* Based on Chromium 122.0.6261.171 with security patches up to
131.0.6778.70
* The .desktop file now also declares qutebrowser as a valid
viewer for image/webp.
* Updated mimetype information for getting a suitable extension
when downloading a data: URL.
* The content.javascript.clipboard setting now defaults to "ask",
which on Qt 6.8+ will prompt the user to grant clipboard
access. On older Qt versions, this is still equivalent to
"none" and needs to be set manually.
* If a XHR request made via JS sets a custom Accept-Language
header, it now correctly has precedence over the global
content.headers.accept_language setting (but not per-domain
overrides). This fixes subtle JS issues on websites that rely
on the custom header being sent for those requests, and e.g.
block the requests server-side otherwise.
* Our packaging scripts now prefer the "legacy"/"for older
browsers" PDF.js build as their normal release only supports
the latest Chromium version and might break in qutebrowser on
updates. Note to packagers: If there’s a PDF.js package in your
distribution as an (optional) qutebrowser dependency, consider
also switching to this variant (same code, built differently).
Fixed
* Crash with recent Jinja/Markupsafe versions when viewing a
finished userscript (or potentially editor) process via
:process.
* scripts/open_url_in_instance.sh now avoids echo -n, thus
running correctly on POSIX sh.
* Added a workaround for a bogus QtWebEngine warning about
missing spell checking dictionaries.

- Updates from version 3.3.0:
Added
* Added the qt.workarounds.disable_hangouts_extension setting,
for disabling the Google Hangouts extension built into
Chromium/QtWebEngine.
Removed
* Failed end2end tests will now save screenshots of the browser
window when run under xvfb (the default on linux). Screenshots
will be under $TEMP/pytest-current/pytest-screenshots/ or
attached to the GitHub actions run as an artifact.
Changed
* The qute-pass userscript now has better support for
internationalized domain names when using the pass backend -
both domain names and secret paths are normalized before
comparing
* Ignored URL query parameters (via url.yank_ignored_parameters)
are now respected when yanking any URL (for example, through
hints with hint links yank). The {url:yank} substitution has
also been added as a version of {url} that respects ignored URL
query parameters.
Fixed
* A minor memory leak of QItemSelectionModels triggered by
closing the completion dialog has been resolved.
* The link to the chrome URL match pattern documentation in our
settings docs now loads a live page again.
* A rare crash when on Qt 6, a renderer process terminates with
an unknown termination reason.

increase_text_contrast got removed, following removals in
Chromium.
Added:
* New smart-simple value for
colors.webpage.darkmode.policy.images, which on QtWebEngine
6.6+ uses a simpler classification algorithm to decide whether
to invert images.
* New content.javascript.legacy_touch_events setting, with those
now being disabled by default, following a Chromium change.
Changed:
* The colors.webpage.darkmode.threshold.text setting got renamed
to colors.webpage.darkmode.threshold.foreground, following a
rename in Chromium.
* With Qt 6.6, the content.canvas_reading setting now works

Fixed:
* Some web pages jumping to the top when the statusbar is hidden
or (with v3.0.x) when a prompt is hidden.
* Compatibility with PDF.js v4
* Added an elaborate workaround for a bug in QtWebEngine 6.6.0
causing crashes on Google Mail/Meet/Chat, and a bug in
QtWebEngine 6.5.0/.1/.2 causing crashes there with dark mode.
* Made a rare crash in QtWebEngine when starting/retrying a

avoid exceptions due to cats sleeping on numpads. (#7834)
* Navigating via hints to a remote URL from a file:// one works
again. (#7847)
* The timers related to the tab audible indicator and the auto follow
timeout no longer accumulate connections over time. (#7888)
* The workaround for crashes when using drag & drop on Wayland

rather than wayland as Qt platform.
* Worked around a weird TypeError with QProxyStyle / TabBarStyle
on certain platforms with Python 3.12.

- Update to version 3.0.0
Major Changes:
* qutebrowser now supports Qt 6 and uses it by default.
Qt 5.15 is used as a fallback if Qt 6 is unavailable.
This behavior can be customized in three ways (in order of
precedence):
+ Via `--qt-wrapper PyQt5` or `--qt-wrapper PyQt6`
command-line arguments.
+ Via the `QUTE_QT_WRAPPER` environment variable, set to
`PyQt6` or `PyQt5`.
+ For packagers wanting to provide packages specific to a Qt
version, patch `qutebrowser/qt/machinery.py` and set
`_WRAPPER_OVERRIDE`.
* Various commands were renamed to better group related commands:
+ `set-cmd-text` -> `cmd-set-text`
+ `repeat` -> `cmd-repeat`
+ `repeat*command` -> `cmd-repeat-last`
+ `later` -> `cmd-later`
+ `edit-command` -> `cmd-edit`
+ `run-with-count` -> `cmd-run-with-count`
The old names continue to work for the time being, but are
deprecated and show a warning.
Added:
* On invalid commands/settings with a similarly spelled match,
qutebrowser now suggests the correct name in its error
messages.
* New `:prompt-fileselect-external` command which can be used to
spawn an external file selector (`fileselect.folder.command`)
from download filename prompts (bound to `<Alt+e>` by default).

Fixed

* Inconsistent behavior when using :config-{dict,list}-* commands
with an invalid value. Before the fix, using the same command
again would complain that the value was already present,
despite the error and the value not being actually changed.
* Incomplete error handling when mutating a dict/list in

would result in either a message in the terminal rather than
GUI (startup), or in a crash (:config-source).
* Wrong type handling when using :config-{dict,list}-* commands
with a config option with non-string values. The only affected
option is bindings.commands, which is probably rarely used with
those commands.
* The readability userscript now correctly passes the source URL
to Breadability, to make relative links work.

- Update to version 2.5.2
Fixed
* The notification fixes in v2.5.1 caused new notification
crashes (probably more common than the ones being fixed...).
Those are now fixed, along with a (rather involved) test case
to prevent similar issues in the future.
* When a text was not found on a page, the associated message
would be shown as rich text (e.g. after /<h1>). With this
release, this is fixed for search messages, while the 3.0.0
release will change the default for all messages to be
plain-text. Note this is NOT a security issue, as only a small
subset of HTML is interpreted as rich text by Qt, independently
from the website.
* When a Greasemonkey script couldn't be loaded (e.g. due to an
unreadable file), qutebrowser would crash. It now shows an
error instead.
* Ever since the v1.2.0 release in 2018, the
content.default_encoding setting was not applied on start
properly (only when it was changed afterwards).
This is now fixed.

release will change the default for all messages to be
plain-text. Note this is NOT a security issue, as only a small
subset of HTML is interpreted as rich text by Qt, independently
from the website.
* When a Greasemonkey script couldn't be loaded (e.g. due to an
unreadable file), qutebrowser would crash. It now shows an
error instead.
* Ever since the v1.2.0 release in 2018, the
content.default_encoding setting was not applied on start
properly (only when it was changed afterwards).
This is now fixed.

- Update to version 2.5.1
Fixed
* The qute-pass userscript is marked as executable again.
* The MathML workaround for darkmode (e.g. black on black
Wikipedia formula) now also works for display (rather than
inline) math.
* The content.proxy setting can now correctly be set to arbitrary
values via the qute://settings page again.
* Fixed a rare possible crash with invalid Content-Disposition
headers.
* Fixes for various notification-related crashes:
+ With the tiramisu notification server (due to invalid
behavior of the server, now a non-fatal error)
+ With the budgie notification server when closing a
notification (due to invalid behavior of the server,
now worked around)
+ When a server exits with an unsuccessful exit status
(now a non-fatal error)
+ When a server couldn't be started successfully
(now a non-fatal error)
+ With the herbe notification presenter, when the website tries
to close the notification after the user accepting
(right-clicking) it.
* Fixes in userscripts:
+ The qute-bitwarden userscript now correctly searches for
entries for sites on a subdomain of an unrecognized TLD.
subdomain names. Previously my.site.local would have searched
in bitwarden for my.sitelocal, losing the rightmost dot.

- Update to version 2.5.0
Deprecated
* v2.5.x will be the last release of qutebrowser 2. For the
upcoming 3.0.0 release, it's planned to drop support for
various legacy platforms and libraries which are unsupported
upstream, such as:
+ Qt before 5.15 LTS (plus adding support for Qt 6.2+)
+ Python 3.6
+ The QtWebKit backend
+ macOS 10.14 (via Homebrew)
+ 32-bit Windows (via Qt)
+ Windows 8 (via Qt)
+ Windows 10 before 1809 (via Qt)
+ Possibly other more minor dependency changes
* The :rl-unix-word-rubout command (<Ctrl-W> in command/prompt
modes) has been deprecated. Use :rl-rubout " " instead.
* The :rl-unix-filename-rubout command has been deprecated.
Use either :rl-rubout "/ " (classic readline behavior) or
:rl-filename-rubout (using OS path separator and ignoring
spaces) instead.
Changed
* Improved message if a spawned process wasn't found and a
Flatpak container is in use.
* The :tab-move command now takes start and end as index to move
a tab to the first/last position.
* Tests now automatically pick the backend (QtWebKit/QtWebEngine)
based on what's available. The QUTE_BDD_WEBENGINE environment
variable and --qute-bdd-webengine argument got replaced by
QUTE_TESTS_BACKEND and --qute-backend respectively, which can
be set to either webengine or webkit.

- Update to version 2.4.0
Added
* New content.blocking.hosts.block_subdomains setting which can
be used to disable the subdomain blocking for the hosts-based
adblocker introduced in v2.3.0.
* New downloads.prevent_mixed_content setting to prevent insecure
mixed-content downloads (true by default).
* New --private flag for :tab-clone, which clones a tab into a
new private window, mirroring the same flags for :open and
:tab-give.
Fixed
* Speculative fix for a crash when closing qutebrowser while a
systray notification is shown.

older versions, run: :set -u https://accounts.google.com/*
content.headers.user_agent "Mozilla/5.0 ({os_info}; rv:90.0)

* Corrupt cache file exceptions with adblock 0.5.0+ are now
handled properly.
* Crash when entering unicode surrogates into the filename
prompt.
* UnboundLocalError in qute-keepass when the database couldn't be
opened.

to reduce non-essential motion/animations.
* New colors.prompts.selected.fg setting to customize the text
color for selected items in filename prompts.
Changed
* The hosts-based adblocker (using content.blocking.hosts.lists)
now also blocks all requests to any subdomains of blocked
hosts.
* The fonts.web.* settings now support URL patterns.
* The :greasemonkey-reload command now shows a list of loaded
scripts and has a new --quiet switch to suppress that message.
* When launching a userscript via hints, a new QUTE_CURRENT_URL
environment variable now points to the current page (rather
than the URL of the selected element, where QUTE_URL points
to).
Fixed
* Crash when two Greasemonkey scripts have the same name
(usually happening because the same file is in both the data
and the config directory).

- Update to version 2.2.3
Fixed
* Logging into Google accounts or sharing the camera on macOS 10.14+ crashed,
which is now fixed.
*The Windows installer now correctly aborts the installation on Windows 7
(rather than attempting an install which won't work, since Windows 7 is
unsupported since the v2.0.0 release).
* Using --json-logging without --debug caused qutebrowser to crash since the
v1.13.0 release. It now works correctly again.
* Mixing Qt 5.14+ with QtWebEngine 5.12 caused a crash related to qutebrowser's
notification support, which is now fixed.
* The documentation now points to the new IRC channels on irc.libera.chat
instead of the defunct Freenode channels (due to a hostile takeover by
Freenode staff).
* Setting content.headers.user_agent or .accept_language to a value
containing non-ascii characters was permitted by qutebrowser, but resulted in
a crash when loading a page. Such values are now rejected properly.
* When quitting qutebrowser on the qute://settings page, a crash could happen, which is now fixed.
* When :edit-text is used, but the existing text in the input isn't
representable in the configured encoding (editor.encoding), qutebrowser would
crash. It now shows a proper error instead.
* The testsuite should now work properly on aarch64.
* When QtWebEngine is in a "stuck" state while :selection-follow was used,
this could cause a crash in qutebrowser. This is now fixed (speculatively, due
to lack of a reproducer).
* When the brave adblock data (adblock-cache.dat) got corrupted, qutebrowser
would crash when trying to load it. It now displays an error instead.
Combining /S (silent) and /allusers when uninstalling via the Windows
installer now works properly.

Fixed
* When awesomewm's "naughty" notification daemon was used with a
development version of AwesomeWM and an unknown version number,
qutebrowser would crash when trying to parse the version
string. This is now fixed.
* Due to a bug with QtWebEngine 5.15.4, old Service Worker data
could cause renderer process crashes. This is now worked around
by qutebrowser.
* When an (broken) binding to set-cmd-text without any argument
existed, using : would crash, which is now fixed.
* New site-specific quirk (again) working around not being able
to type accented/composed characters on Google Docs.
* When running with python -OO (which is not recommended), a
notification being shown would result in a crash, which is now
fixed.

- Update to version 2.2.0
Deprecated
* Running qutebrowser with Qt 5.12.0 is now unsupported and logs
a warning. It should still work - however, a workaround for
issues with the Nvidia graphic driver was dropped.
Newer Qt 5.12.x versions are still fully supported.
* The --force argument for :tab-only is deprecated, use --pinned
close instead.
* Using :tab-focus without an argument or count is now
deprecated, use :tab-next instead.
Added
* New dependency on the QtDBus module. If this requirement is an
issue for you or your distribution, please open an issue!
Note that a DBus connection at runtime is still optional.
* New input.media_keys setting which can be used to disable
Chromium's handling of media keys.
* New :process command (and associated qute://process pages)
which can be used to view and terminate/kill external processes
spawned by qutebrowser.
* New content.site_specific_quirks.skip setting which can be used
to disable individual site-specific quirks.
* New --pinned argument for :tab-only, which replaces --force
(with --pinned close), but also can take --pinned keep to keep
pinned tabs without prompting.
* New fileselect.folder.command which can be used with
fileselect.handler = external to customize the command to use
to upload directories (<input type="file" webkitdirectory />
elements, which are non-standard but in wide use).
