v3.0.0 (2023-08-18)
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.
- Releases are now automated on CI, and GPG signed by qutebrowser bot <bot@qutebrowser.org>, fingerprint 27F3 BB4F C217 EECB 8585 78AE EF7E E4D0 3969 0B7B. The key is available as follows:
- On
Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!- Via keys.openpgp.org
- Via WKD for bot@qutebrowser.org
- Support for old Qt versions (< 5.15), old Python versions (< 3.8) and old macOS (< 11)/Windows (< 10) versions were dropped. See the "Removed" section below for details.
Added
- On invalid commands/settings with a similarly spelled match, qutebrowser now suggests the correct name in its error messages.
- New
rompt-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 start page yet).
- New content.javascript.log_message.levels setting, allowing to surface JS log messages as qutebrowser messages (rather than only logging them). By default, errors in internal qute: pages and userscripts are shown to the user.
- New content.javascript.log_message.excludes setting, which allows to exclude certain messages from the content.javascript.log_message.levels setting described above.
- New tabs.title.elide setting to configure where text should be elided (replaced by …) in tab titles when space runs out.
- New --quiet switch for :back and :forward, to suppress the error message about already being at beginning/end of history.
- New qute-1pass userscript using the 1password commandline to fill passwords.
- On macOS when running with Qt < 6.3, pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa are now required dependencies. They are not required on other systems or when running with Qt 6.3+, but still listed in the requirements.txt because it’s impossible to tell the two cases apart there.
- New features in userscripts:
- qutedmenu gained new window and private options.
- qute-keepassxc now supports unlock-on-demand, multiple account selection via rofi, and inserting TOTP-codes (experimental).
- qute-pass will now try looking up candidate pass entries based on the calling tab’s verbatim netloc (hostname including port and username) if it can’t find a match with an earlier candidate (FQDN, IPv4 etc).
- New qt.chromium.experimental_web_platform_features setting, which is enabled on Qt 5 by default, to maximize compatibility with websites despite an aging Chromium backend.
- New colors.webpage.darkmode.increase_text_contrast setting for Qt 6.3+
- New fonts.tooltip, colors.tooltip.bg and colors.tooltip.fg settings.
- New log-qt-events debug flag for -D
- New --all flags for :bookmark-del and :quickmark-del to delete all quickmarks/bookmarks.
Removed
- Python 3.8.0 or newer is now required.
- Support for Python 3.6 and 3.7 is dropped, as they both reached their
Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!in December 2021 and June 2023, respectively.- Support for Qt/PyQt before 5.15.0 and QtWebEngine before 5.15.2 are now dropped, as older Qt versions are
Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!since mid/late 2020 (5.13/5.14) and late 2021 (5.12 LTS).- The --enable-webengine-inspector flag is now dropped. It used to be ignored but still accepted, to allow doing a :restart from versions older than v2.0.0. Thus, switching from v1.x.x directly to v3.0.0 via :restart will not be possible.
- Support for macOS 10.14 and 10.15 is now dropped, raising the minimum required macOS version to macOS 11 Big Sur.
- Qt 6.4 was the latest version to support macOS 10.14 and 10.15.
- It should be possible to build a custom .dmg with Qt 6.4, but this is unsupported and not recommended.
- Support for Windows 8 and for Windows 10 before 1607 is now dropped.
- Support for older Windows 10 versions might still be present in Qt 6.0/6.1/6.2
- Support for Windows 8.1 is still present in Qt 5.15
- It should be possible to build a custom .exe with those versions, but this is unsupported and not recommended.
- Support for 32-bit Windows is now dropped.
Changed
- The qutebrowser icons got moved from icons/ to qutebrowser/icons in the repository, so that it’s possible for qutebrowser to load them using Python’s resource system (rather than compiling them into a Qt resource file). Packagers are advised to use misc/Makefile if possible, which has been updated with the new paths.
- The content.javascript.can_access_clipboard setting got renamed to content.javascript.clipboard and now understands three different values rather than being a boolean: none (formerly false), access (formerly true) and access-paste (additionally allows pasting content, needed for websites like Photopea or GitHub Codespaces).
- The default hints.selectors now also match the treeitem ARIA roles.
- The :click-element command now can also click elements based on its ID (id), a CSS selector (css), a position (position), or click the currently focused element (focused).
- The :click-element command now can select the first found element via --select-first.
- New search.wrap_messages setting, making it possible to disable search wrapping messages.
- The :session-save command now has a new --no-history flag, to exclude tab history.
- New widgets for statusbar.widgets:
- clock, showing the current time
- search_match, showing the current match and total count when finding text on a page
- Messages shown by qutebrowser now don’t automatically get interpreted as rich text anymore. Thus, e.g. :message-info <h1>test now shows the given text. To show rich text with :message-* commands, use their new --rich flag. 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.
- Improved output when loading Greasemonkey scripts.
- The macOS .app now is registered as a handler for .mhtml files, such as the ones produced by :download --mhtml.
- The "… called unimplemented GM_…" messages are now logged as info JS messages instead of errors.
- For QtNetwork downloads (e.g. :adblock-update), various changes were done for how redirects work:
- Insecure redirects (HTTPS → HTTP) now fail the download.
- 20 redirects are now allowed before the download fails rather than only 10.
- A redirect to the same URL will now fail the download with too many redirects instead of being ignored.
- When a download fails in a way it’d leave an empty file around, the empty file is now deleted.
- With Qt 6, setting content.headers.referer to always will act as if it was set to same-domain. The documentation is now updated to point that out.
- With QtWebEngine 5.15.5+, the load finished workaround was dropped, which should make certain operations happen when the page has started loading rather when it fully finished.
- mkvenv.py has a new --pyqt-snapshot flag, allowing to install certain packages from the
Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!.- When QUTE_QTWEBENGINE_VERSION_OVERRIDE is set, it now always wins, no matter how the version would otherwise have been determined. Note setting this value can break things (if set to a wrong value), and usually isn’t needed.
- When qutebrowser is run with an older QtWebEngine version as on the previous launch, it now prints an error before starting (which causes the underlying Chromium to remove all browsing data such as cookies).
- The keys "<To Do List>" and "<Contrast adjust>" are now named "<To-do list>" and "<Adjust contrast>", respectively.
- The tox.ini now requires at least tox 3.20 (was tox 3.15 previously).
- :config-diff now has an --include-hidden flag, which also shows internally-set settings.
- Improved error messages when :spawn can’t find an executable.
- When a process fails, the error message now suggests using
- When a process got killed with SIGTERM, no error message is now displayed anymore (unless started with :spawn --verbose).
- When a process got killed by a signal, the signal name is now displayed in the message.
- The js-string-replaceall quirk is now removed from the default content.site_specific_quirks.skip, so that String.replaceAll is now polyfilled on QtWebEngine < 5.15.3, hopefully improving website compaitibility.
- Hints are now displayed for elements setting an aria-haspopup attribute.
- qutebrowser now uses SPDX license identifiers in its files. Full support for the
Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!(license provided in a machine-readable way for every single file) is not done yet, but planned for a future release.Fixed
- When the devtools are clicked but input.insert_mode.auto_enter is set to false, insert mode now isn’t entered anymore.
- The search wrapping messages are now correctly displayed in (hopefully) all cases with QtWebEngine.
- When a message with the same text as a currently already displayed one gets shown, qutebrowser used to only show one message. This is now only done when the two messages are completely equivalent (text, level, etc.) instead of doing so when only the text matches.
- The progress and backforward statusbar widgets now stay removed if you choose to remove them. Previously they would appear again on navigation.
- Rare crash when running userscripts with crashed renderer processes.
- Multiple rare crashes when quitting qutebrowser.
- The asciidoc2html.py script now correctly uses the virtualenv-installed asciidoc rather than requiring a system-wide installation.
- "Package would be ignored" deprecation warnings when running setup.py.
- ResourceWarning when using :restart.
- Crash when shutting down before fully initialized.
- Crash with some notification servers when the server is quitting.
- Crash when using QtWebKit with PAC and the file has an invalid encoding.
- Crash with the "tiramisu" notification server.
- Crash when the "herbe" notification presenter doesn’t start correctly.
- Crash when no notification server is installed/available.
- Warning with recent versions of the "deadd" (aka "linux notification center") notification server.
- Crash when using
- The PyQt{5,6}.sip version is now shown correctly in the :version/--version output. Previously that showed the version from the standalone sip module which was only set for PyQt5. (#7805)
- When a config.py calls .redirect() via a request interceptor (which is unsupported) and supplies an invalid redirect target URL, an exception is now raised for the .redirect() call instead of later inside qutebrowser.
- Crash when loading invalid history items from a session file.
v3.4.0 (2024-12-14)
Removed
- Support for Python 3.8 is dropped, and Python 3.9 is now required. (#8325)
- Support for macOS 12 Monterey is now dropped, and binaries will be built onmacOS 13 Ventura. (#8327)
- When using the installer on Windows 10, build 1809 or newer is now required(previous versions required 1607 or newer, but that’s not officialy supported byQt upstream). (#8336)
Changed
- Windows/macOS binaries are now built with Qt 6.8.1. (#8242)
- Based on Chromium 122.0.6261.171
- With security patches up to 131.0.6778.70
- Windows/macOS binaries are now using Python 3.13. (#8205)
- The .desktop file now also declares qutebrowser as a valid viewer forimage/webp. (#8340)
- Updated mimetype information for getting a suitable extension when downloadinga data: URL.
- The content.javascript.clipboard setting now defaults to "ask", which onQt 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. (#8348)
- If a XHR request made via JS sets a custom Accept-Language header, it nowcorrectly has precedence over the global content.headers.accept_languagesetting (but not per-domain overrides). This fixes subtle JS issues onwebsites that rely on the custom header being sent for those requests, ande.g. block the requests server-side otherwise. (#8370)
- Our packaging scripts now prefer the "legacy"/"for older browsers" PDF.jsbuild as their normal release only supports the latest Chromium version andmight break in qutebrowser on updates. Note to packagers: If there’s aPDF.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
- scripts/open_url_in_instance.sh now avoids echo -n, thus runningcorrectly on POSIX sh. (#8409)
- Added a workaround for a bogus QtWebEngine warning about missing spellchecking dictionaries. (#8330)
