- Update to version 1.14.1
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,
qutebrowser's desktop file accidentally declared that it wasn't
supported. This is now fixed.
* The dmenu_qutebrowser and qutedmenu userscripts now correctly
read the qutebrowser sqlite history which has been in use since
v1.0.0.
* With Python 3.8+ and vertical tabs, a deprecation warning for an
implicit int conversion was shown. This is now fixed.
* Ever since Qt 5.11, fetching more completion data when that data
is loaded lazily (such as with history) and the last visible item
is selected was broken. The exact reason is currently unknown,
but this release adds a tenative fix.
* When PgUp/PgDown were used to go beyond the last visible item,
the above issue caused a crash, which is now also fixed.
* As a workaround for an overzealous Microsoft Defender
false-positive detecting a "trojan" in the (unprocessed) adblock
list, :adblock-update now doesn't cache the HTTP response anymore
* With the QtWebKit backend and content.headers set to same-domain
(the default), origins with the same domain but different schemes
or ports were treated as the same domain. They now are correctly
treated as different domains.
* When a URL path uses percent escapes
(such as https://example.com/embedded%2Fpath), using :navigate up
would treat the %2F as a path separator and replace any remaining
percent escapes by their unescaped equivalents. Those are now
handled correctly.
* The open_url_instance.sh userscript now complains when socat is
not installed, rather than silencing the error.
* The example AppArmor profile in misc/ was outdated and written
for the older QtWebKit backend. It is now updated to serve as a
useful starting point with QtWebEngine.
* With Qt 5.15.2, lines/borders coming from the readability-js
userscript were invisible. This is now fixed by changing the
border color to grey (with all Qt versions).
* Due to changes in the underlying Chromium, the
colors.webpage.prefers_color_scheme_dark setting broke with
Qt 5.15.2. It now works properly again.
* A bug in the pkg_resources module used by qutebrowser caused
deprecation warnings to appear on start with Python 3.9 on some
setups. Those are now hidden.
* Minor performance improvements.
* Fix for various functionality breaking in private windows with
v1.14.0, after the last private window is closed. This includes:
+ Ad blocking
+ Downloads
+ Site-specific quirks (e.g. for Google login)
+ Certain settings such as content.javascript.enabled
