Added:
* When qutebrowser receives a SIGHUP it will now reload any
config.py file in use (same as the :config-source command does)
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#8108
* The Chromium security patch version is now shown in the backend
string in --version and :version. This reflects the latest
Chromium version that security fixes have been backported to
the base QtWebEngine version from.
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#7187
Changed:
* With QtWebEngine 6.7+, the colors.webpage.darkmode.enabled
setting can now be changed at runtime and supports URL patterns
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#8182
* A few more completions will now match search terms in any
order: :quickmark-*, :bookmark-*, :tab-take and :tab-select
(for the quick and bookmark categories).
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#7955
* Elements with an ARIA role="switch" now get hints (toggle
switches like e.g. on cookie banners).
* The tor_identity userscript now validates that the
-c|--control-port argument value is an int.
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#8162
Fixed:
* input.insert_mode.auto_load sometimes not triggering due to
a race condition.
gh#qutebrowser/qutebrowser#8145
* Worked around qutebrowser quitting when closing a KDE file
dialog due to a Qt bug.

Removed:
* The darkmode settings grayscale.all, grayscale.images and
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
without a restart and supports URL patterns.
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
download less likely to happen.
* Graphical glitches in Google sheets and PDF.js, again. Removed
the version restriction for the default application of
qt.workarounds.disable_accelerated_2d_canvas as the issue was

- Update to version 3.0.2:
* Fix for crashes on Google Meet / GMail with dark mode enabled
* Fix for right-click in devtools not working properly
* Fix for drag & drop not working on Wayland
* Fix for some XKB key remappings not working
* Security fixes up to Chromium 116.0.5845.187, including
CVE-2023-4863, a critical heap buffer overflow in WebP, for
which "Google is aware that an exploit exists in the wild."
- Update to version 3.0.1:
* The "restore video" functionality of the view_in_mpv script
works again on webengine.
* Setting url.auto_search to dns works correctly now with Qt 6.
* Counts passed via keypresses now have a digit limit (4300) to
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
with Qt 6.5.2 now also works correctly when using wayland-egl
rather than wayland as Qt platform.
* Worked around a weird TypeError with QProxyStyle / TabBarStyle
on certain platforms with Python 3.12.
* Removed 1px border for the downloads view, mostly noticeable
when it’s transparent.
* Due to a Qt bug, cloning/undoing a tab which was not fully loaded
caused qutebrowser to crash. This is now fixed via a workaround.
* Graphical glitches in Google sheets and PDF.js via a new setting

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).
* New `qute://start` built-in start page (not set as the default
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=128
Added
* New array_at quirk, polyfilling the Array.at method, which is
needed by various websites, but only natively available with
Qt 6.2.
Fixed
* Crash when the adblock filter file can't be read.
* 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
config.py and setting an invalid value. Before the fix, this
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 dictcli.py to use the main branch, fixing a 404 error.
* Crash with some notification servers when the server did quit.
* Minor documentation fixes
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=124
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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=122
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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=120
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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=118
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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=117
Fixed
* Updated the workaround for Google Account log in claiming that
this browser isn't secure. For an equivalent workaround on
older versions, run: :set -u https://accounts.google.com/*
content.headers.user_agent "Mozilla/5.0 ({os_info}; rv:90.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=115
Added
* New content.prefers_reduced_motion setting to request websites
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).
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=114
- 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/897212
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=112
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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=110
- 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).
* New content.notifications.presenter setting with various new
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=106
Removed
* The following command aliases were deprecated in v2.0.0 and are
now removed:
+ run-macro -> macro-run
+ record-macro -> macro-record
+ buffer -> tab-select
+ open-editor -> edit-text
+ toggle-selection -> selection-toggle
+ drop-selection -> selection-drop
+ reverse-selection -> selection-reverse
+ follow-selected -> selection-follow
+ follow-hint -> hint-follow
+ enter-mode -> mode-enter
+ leave-mode -> mode-leave
Added
* New :screenshot command which can be used to screenshot the
visible part of the page.
* New qute-keepassxc userscript integrating with the KeePassXC
browser API.
Changed
* Initial support for QtWebEngine 5.15.3 and PyQt 5.15.3/.4
* The colors.webpage.prefers_color_scheme_dark setting got
renamed to colors.webpage.preferred_color_scheme and now takes
the values auto, light and dark (instead of being True for dark
and False for auto). Note that the light value is only
supported with Qt 5.15.2+, falling back to the same behavior as
auto on older versions.
* On Linux, qutebrowser now tries harder to find details about
the installed QtWebEngine version by inspecting the QtWebEngine
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=104
Fixed
* When the adblocking method was switched using :set, and the
adblock dependency was unavailable when qutebrowser started
(but was installed while qutebrowser was open), this resulted
in a crash. Now a warning prompting for a restart of qutebrowser
is shown instead.
Changed
* The format_json userscript now uses sh instead of bash again.
* The add-nextcloud-bookmarks, add-nextcloud-cookbook, readability
and ripbang userscripts now use a python3 rather than plain
python shebang.
* When QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS is set in the environment, this
causes flag handling (including workarounds for QtWebEngine
crashes) inside qutebrowser to break. This will be handled
properly in a future version, but this release now shows a
warning on standard output if this is the case.
* The config completion for fileselect.*.command now also includes
the "nnn" terminal file manager.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=103
If the Python adblock library is available, it is now used to
integrate Brave's Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking
based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList).
If it is unavailable, qutebrowser falls back to host-blocking,
i.e. the same blocking technique it used before this release.
As part of this, various settings got renamed, see "Changed"
below.
Note: If the adblock dependency is available, qutebrowser will
ignore custom host blocking via the blocked-hosts config file or
file:/// URLs supplied as host blocking lists. You will need to
either migrate those to ABP-like lists, or set
content.blocking.method to "both".
Note for openSUSE users: The adblock library has not been packaged
yet due to the difficulty of packaging its Rust dependencies.
Removed
* The --enable-webengine-inspector flag (which was only needed for
Qt 5.10 and below) is now dropped. With Qt 5.11 and newer, the
inspector/devtools are enabled unconditionally.
* Support for moving qutebrowser data from versions before v1.0.0
has been removed.
* The --old flag for :config-diff has been removed. It used to show
customized options for the old pre-v1.0 config files (in order to
aid migration to v1.0).
* The :inspector command which was deprecated in v1.13.0 (in favor
of :devtools) is now removed.
Deprecated
* Several commands have been renamed for consistency and/or easier
grouping of related commands. Their old names are still
available, but deprecated and will be removed in qutebrowser
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=102
Added
With v1.14.0, qutebrowser configures the main window to be
transparent, so that it's possible to configure a translucent tab-
or statusbar. However, that change introduced various issues, such
as performance degradation on some systems or breaking dmenu window
embedding with its -w option. To avoid those issues for people who
are not using transparency, the default behavior is reverted to
versions before v1.14.0 in this release. A new window.transparent
setting can be set to true to restore the behavior of v1.14.0.
Fixed
* Setting the content.headers.referer setting to same-domain (the
default) was supposed to truncate referers to only the host with
QtWebEngine. Unfortunately, this functionality broke in Qt 5.14.
It works properly again.
* with this release, including a test so this won't happen again.
* With QtWebEngine 5.15, setting the content.headers.referer
setting to never did still send referers. This is now fixed as
well.
* In v1.14.0, a regression was introduced, causing a crash when
qutebrowser was closed after opening a download with PDF.js.
This is now fixed.
* With Qt 5.12, the Object.fromEntries JavaScript API is
unavailable (it was introduced in Chromium 73, while Qt 5.12 is
based on 69). This caused https://www.vr.fi/en and possibly other
websites to break when accessed with Qt 5.12. A suitable polyfill
is now included with qutebrowser if content.site_specific_quirks
is enabled (which is the default).
* While XDG startup notifications (e.g. launch feedback via the
bouncy cursor in KDE Plasma) were supported ever since Qt 5.1,
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=100
This release still only contains partial session support for
QtWebEngine 5.15. It's still recommended to run against Qt 5.15
due to the security patches contained in it -- for most users,
the added workarounds seem to work out fine. A rewritten session
support will be part of qutebrowser v2.0.0, tentatively planned
for the end of the year or early 2021.
Changed
* The content.media_capture setting got split up into three more
fine-grained settings, content.media.audio_capture,
.video_capture and .audio_video_capture. Before this change,
answering "always" to a prompt about e.g. audio capturing would
set the content.media_capture setting, which would also allow
the same website to capture video on a future visit. Now every
prompt will set the appropriate setting, though existing
content.media_capture settings in autoconfig.yml will be
migrated to set all three settings. To review/change previously
granted permissions, use :config-diff and e.g.
:config-unset -u example.org content.media.video_capture.
* The main window's (invisible) background color is now set to
transparent. This allows using the alpha channel in
statusbar/tabbar colors to get a partially transparent
qutebrowser window on a setup which supports doing so.
* If QtWebEngine is compiled with PipeWire support and
libpipewire is installed, qutebrowser will now support screen
sharing on Wayland. Note that QtWebEngine 5.15.1 is needed.
* When :undo is used with a count, it now reopens the count-th
to last tab instead of the last one. The depth can instead be
passed as an argument, which is also completed.
* The default completion.timestamp_format now also shows the
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=96
Fixed
* With Qt 5.14, shared workers are now disabled. This works
around a crash in QtWebEngine on certain sites (like the Epic
Games Store or the Unreal Engine page).
* When a window is closed, the tab it contains are now correctly
shut down (closing e.g. any dialogs which are still open for
those tabs).
* The Qt 5.15 session workaround now loads the correct (rather
than the last) page when :back was used before saving a
session.
* Certain autoconfig.yml with an invalid structure could lead to
crashes, which are now fixed.
* Ever since Qt 5.9, when input.mouse.rocker_gestures was
enabled, the context menu still was shown when clicking the
right mouse button, thus preventing the rocker gestures.
This is now fixed.
* Clicking the inspector switched from existing modes (such as
passthrough) to normal mode since v1.13.0. Now insert mode is
only entered when the inspector is clicked in normal mode.
* Pulseaudio now shows qutebrowser's audio streams as qutebrowser
correctly, rather than showing them as Chromium with some Qt
versions.
* If :help was called with a deprecated command (e.g. :help
:inspector), the help page would show despite deprecated
commands not being documented. This now shows an error instead.
* The qute-lastpass userscript now filters out duplicate entries
with --merge-candidates.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=94
Deprecated
* The :inspector command is deprecated and has been replaced by
a new :devtools command (see below).
Removed
* The :debug-log-level command was removed as it's replaced by
the new logging.level.console setting.
* The qute://plainlog special page got replaced by
qute://log?plain - the names of those pages is considered an
implementation detail, and :messages --plain should be used
instead.
Changed
* Changes to commands:
+ :config-write-py now adds a note about config.py files being
targeted at advanced users.
+ :report now takes two optional arguments for bug/contact
information, so that it can be used without the report window
popping up.
+ :message now takes a --logfilter / -f argument, which is a
list of logging categories to show.
+ :debug-log-filter now understands the full logfilter syntax.
* Changes to settings:
+ fonts.tabs has been split into
fonts.tabs.{selected,unselected} (see below).
+ statusbar.hide has been renamed to statusbar.show with the
possible values being always (hide = False),
never (hide = True) or in-mode (new, only show statusbar
outside of normal mode).
+ The QtFont config type formerly used for fonts.tabs and
fonts.debug_console is now removed and entirely replaced

* Support for using config.bind(key, None) in config.py to unbind
a key was deprecated in v1.8.2 and is now removed.
Use config.unbind(key) instead.
* :yank markdown was deprecated in v1.7.0 and is now removed.
Use :yank inline [{title}]({url}) instead.
Added
* New :debug-keytester command, which shows a "key tester"
widget. Previously, that was only available as a separate
application via python3 -m scripts.keytester.
* New :config-diff command which opens the qute://configdiff
page.
* New --debug-flag log-cookies to log cookies to the debug log.
* New colors.contextmenu.disabled.{fg,bg} settings to customize
colors for disabled items in the context menu.
* New line selection mode (:toggle-selection --line), bound to
Shift-V in caret mode.
* New colors.webpage.darkmode.* settings to control Chromium's
dark mode. Note that those settings only work with QtWebEngine
on Qt >= 5.14 and require a restart of qutebrowser.
Changed
* The content.cookies.accept setting now accepts URL patterns.
* The :tab-focus command now has completion for tabs in the
current window.
* The bindings.key_mappings setting now maps <Ctrl+I> to the tab
key by default.
* :tab-give --private now detaches a tab into a new private
window.

the user, qutebrowser displays the URL as yellow
(colors.statusbar.url.warn.fg). However, when the affected
website was subsequently loaded again, the URL was mistakenly
displayed as green (colors.statusbar.url.success_https).
While the user already has seen a certificate error prompt
at this point (or set content.ssl_strict to false which is not
recommended), this could still provide a false sense of security.
This is now fixed.

Added
* New settings:
+ search.wrap which can be set to false to prevent wrapping
around the page when searching. With QtWebEngine, Qt 5.14
or newer is required.
+ content.unknown_url_scheme_policy which allows controlling
when an external application is opened for external links
(never, from user interaction, always).
+ content.fullscreen.overlay_timeout to configure how long the
fullscreen overlay should be displayed. If set to 0,
no overlay is displayed.
+ hints.padding to add additional padding for hints.
+ hints.radius to set a border radius for hints
(set to 3 by default).
* New placeholders for url.searchengines values:
+ {unquoted} inserts the search term without any quoting.
+ {semiquoted} (same as {}) quotes most special characters,
but slashes remain unquoted.
+ {quoted} (same as {} in earlier releases) also quotes slashes
Changed
* First adaptions to Qt 5.15, including a stop-gap measure for
session loading not working properly with it.
* Searching now wraps around the page by default with QtWebKit
(where it didn't before). Set search.wrap to false to restore
the old behavior.
* The {} placeholder for search engines
(the url.searchengines setting) now does not quote slashes
anymore, but other characters typically encoded in URLs still
get encoded. This matches the behavior of search engines in
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=89
Fixed
* Crash when saving data fails during shutdown (which was a
regression introduced in v1.9.0).
* Error while reading config.py when fonts.tabs or
fonts.debug_console is set to a value including default_size.
* When a state file contains invalid UTF-8 data, a proper error
is now displayed.
Changed
* When the Qt version changes (and also on the first start of
v1.10.1 on Qt 5.14), service workers registered by websites are
now deleted. This is done as a workaround for QtWebEngine
issues causing crashes when visiting pages using service
workers (such as Google Mail/Drive). No persistent data should
be affected as websites can re-register their service workers,
but a (single) backup is kept at webengine/Service Worker-bak
in qutebrowser's data directory.
* Better output on stdout when config errors occur.
* The default for colors.statusbar.command.private.bg has been
changed to a slightly different gray, as a workaround for a Qt
issue where the cursor was invisible in that case.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=85
- Update to version 1.10.0
Added
* New colors.webpage.prefers_color_scheme_dark setting which
allows forcing prefers-color-scheme: dark colors for websites
(QtWebEngine with Qt 5.14 or newer).
* New fonts.default_size setting which can be used to set a
bigger font size for all UI fonts.
Changed
* The fonts.monospace setting has been removed and replaced by
fonts.default_family. The new default_family setting is
improved in various ways:
+ It accepts a list of font families (or a single font family)
rather than a comma-separated string. As an example, instead
of fonts.monospace = "Courier, Monaco", use
fonts.default_family = ["Courier", "Monaco"].
+ Since a list is now accepted as value, no quoting of font
names with spaces is required anymore. As an example,
instead of fonts.monospace = '"xos4 Terminus"', use
fonts.default_family = 'xos4 Terminus'.
+ It is now empty by default rather than having a long list of
font names in the default config. When the value is empty,
the system's default monospaced font is used.
* If monospace is now used in a font value, it's used literally
and not replaced anymore. Instead, default_family is replaced
as explained above.
* The default content.headers.accept_language value now adds a
;q=0.9 classifier which should make the value sent more
in-line with what other browsers do.
* The qute-pass userscript now has a new --mode gopass switch
which uses gopass rather than pass.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=81
Added
* Initial support for Qt 5.14.
* New content.site_specific_quirks setting which enables
workarounds for websites with broken user agent parsing
(enabled by default, see the "Fixed" section for fixed
websites).
* New qt.force_platformtheme setting to force Qt to use a given
platform theme.
* New tabs.tooltips setting which can be used to disable hover
tooltips for tabs.
* New settings to configure the appearance of context menus:
+ fonts.contextmenu
+ colors.contextmenu.menu.bg
+ colors.contextmenu.menu.fg
+ colors.contextmenu.selected.bg
+ colors.contextmenu.selected.fg
Changed
* The content.headers.user_agent setting now is a format string
with the default value resembling the behavior of it being set
to null before. This slightly changes the sent user agent for
QtWebKit: Instead of mentioning qutebrowser and its version
it now mentions the Qt version.
* The qute-pass userscript now has a new --extra-url-suffixes
(-s) argument which passes extra URL suffixes to the tldextract
library.
* A stack is now used for :tab-focus last rather than just saving
one tab. Additionally, :tab-focus now understands stack-prev
and stack-next arguments to traverse that stack.
* :hint now has a new right-click target which allows

Fixed
* Unbinding keys via config.bind(key, None) accidentally worked
in v1.7.0 but raises an exception in v1.8.0. It now works
again, but is deprecated and shows an error. Note that
:config-py-write did write such invalid lines before v1.8.0,
so existing config files might need adjustments.
* The readability-js userscript now handles encodings correctly
(which it didn't before for some websites).
* can now be used to paste text starting with a hyphen.
* Following hints via the number keypad now works properly again.
* Errors while reading the state file are now displayed instead
of causing a crash.
* Crash when using :debug-log-level without a console attached.
* Downloads are now hidden properly when the browser is in
fullscreen mode.
* Crash when setting colors.webpage.bg to an empty value with
QtWebKit.
* Crash when the history database file is not a proper sqlite
database.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=75
Added
* New userscripts:
+ readability-js which uses Mozilla's node.js readability
library.
+ qute-bitwarden which integrates the Bitwarden CLI.
Changed
* The statusbar text for passthrough mode now shows all
configured bindings to leave the mode, not only one.
* When :config-source is used with a relative filename, the file
is now searched in the config directory instead of the current
working directory.
* HTML5 inputs with date/time types now enter insert mode when
selected.
* dictcli.py now shows where dictionaries are installed to and
complains when running it as root if doing so would result in
a wrong installation path.
* Changes to userscripts:
+ qute-pass: Don't run pass if only a username is requested.
+ qute-pass: Support private domains like myrouter.local.
+ readability: Improved CSS styling.
* Performance improvements in various areas:
+ Loading config files
+ Typing without any completion matches
+ General keyboard handling
+ Scrolling
* :version now shows details about the loaded
autoconfig.yml/config.py.
* Hosts are now additionally looked up including their ports in
netrc files.

Added
* New settings:
+ colors.tabs.pinned.* to control colors of pinned tabs.
+ hints.leave_on_load which allows disabling leaving of hint
mode when a new page is loaded.
+ colors.completion.item.selected.match.fg which allows
configuring the text color for the matching text in the
currently selected completion item.
+ tabs.undo_stack_size to limit how many undo entries are kept
for closed tabs.
* New commands:
+ :reverse-selection (o in caret mode) to swap the
stationary/moving ends of a selection.
* New commandline replacements:
+ {url:domain}, {url:auth}, {url:scheme}, {url:username},
{url:password}, {url:host}, {url:port}, {url:path},
{url:query} for the respective parts of the current URL.
+ {title} for the current page title.
* The {title} field in tabs.title.format,
tabs.title.format_pinned and window.title_format got renamed to
{current_title} (mirroring {current_url}) in order to not
conflict with the new {title} commandline replacement.
* New delete target for :hint which removes the hinted element
from the DOM.
* New --config-py commandline argument to use a custom config.py
file.
* Qt 5.13: Support for notifications (shown via system tray).
Changed
* The desktop file qutebrowser.desktop is now renamed to
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=71
Fixed
* Crash when hinting and changing/closing the tab before hints
are displayed.
* Crash on redirects with Qt 5.13.
* Hide bogus AA_ShareOpenGLContexts warning with Qt 5.12.4.
* Workaround for renderer process crashes with Qt 5.12.4.
If you're unable to update, you can remove ~/.cache/qutebrowser
for the same result.

* Running without Qt installed now displays a proper error again.
* High CPU usage when using the keyhint widget with a low delay.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=67
Fixed
* Crash when using :config-{dict,list}-{add,remove} with an invalid setting.
* Functionality like hinting on pages with an element with ID _qutebrowser
(such as qutebrowser.org) on Qt 5.12.
* The .desktop file in v1.6.0 was missing the "Actions" key.
* The SVG icon now has a size of 256x256px set to comply with freedesktop
standards.
* Setting colors.statusbar.*.bg to a gradient now has the expected effect of
the gradient spanning the entire statusbar.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=62
Added
* New settings:
+ tabs.new_position.stacking which controls whether new tabs
opened from a page should stack on each other or not.
+ completion.open_categories which allows to configure which
categories are shown in the :open completion, and how they
are ordered.
+ tabs.pinned.frozen to allow/deny navigating in pinned tabs.
+ hints.selectors which allows to configure what CSS selectors
are used for hints, and also allows adding custom hint groups

certificate to use when there are multiple matching
certificates isn't implemented yet.

setting).
Changed
* :q now closes the current window instead of quitting
qutebrowser completely (:close), while :qa quits (:quit).
The behavior of :wq remains unchanged (:quit --save), as

Fixed:
* Flickering when opening/closing tabs (as soon as more than
10 are open) on some pages.
* 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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=55
Added:
* Rewritten PDF.js support:
+ PDF.js support and the content.pdfjs setting are now
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

warning (only once), as support for those is going to be
removed in a future release.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network/qutebrowser?expand=0&rev=53
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
