Release notes

1.5

-* New UI language: Polish.

+* Added "Smol Emoji" and "Noto Sans Symbols" fonts, removed Symbola.

+⚠️ Many Emoji and pictographs defined in the last five years are currently missing.

+* Added document footer buttons: on certain pages (e.g., error messages) show relevant actions in the bottom of the page. For example, if a certificate is required for viewing a page, show buttons for creating a new identity and showing the Identities sidebar.

+* Error pages include the human-readable text sent by the server.

+* Disregard old feed entries whose unread status would have been forgotten.

+* Added UI language: Polish.

+Identity management:

+* Revised New Identity dialog. An option is provided to automatically use the new identity on the current domain/page. The additional fields are hidden by default.

+* Improved usability of Identities sidebar. No more accidental activations: left-clicking an identity opens the context menu without making any changes. The context menu shows each active URL as a menu item for easy access. Identity icons reflect the usage status: all identities used on the current domain get highlighted in addition to the currently used one.

+* Identities can be exported: certificate and private key are opened in a new tab in plain text PEM format.

+* Fixed issues with identity usage: a higher-up URL overrides and deactivates all contained URLs to avoid redundant activation.

+Text input:

• Revised text input widgets: added support for multiple lines, and when entering user response to a query, show how many bytes are remaining for the response URL about to be submitted. In dialogs, input fields expand vertically instead of scrolling their content horizontally.

• Input widgets allow inserting newlines using Shift+Return.

• Disallow sending query responses that are too long (1024 bytes maximum).

• Shift-click to select a range of text in input widgets (i.e, without dragging).

-* Footer buttons: on certain pages (e.g., error messages) show relevant actions in the bottom of the page. For example, if a certificate is required for viewing a page, show buttons for creating a new identity and showing the Identities sidebar.

-* Gempub: Linear navigation through the book with Left/Right arrow keys and via footer buttons. The navigation order is determined by links on the Gempub index page.

+Rendering:

+* Animate showing and hiding of sidebars and dialogs. Animations are enabled by default, by can be disabled with Preferences > Interface > Animations.

+* Added setting for a custom TrueType symbol font for any missing characters. Note: Must be a .TTF file — OpenType and bitmap fonts are not supported.

• Link navigation shortcut icons (home row and numbered) are drawn with a consistent appearance.

-* Animate showing and hiding of sidebars and dialogs.

-* macOS: Workaround for a Metal rendering issue.

-* Added "Smol Emoji" and "Noto Sans Symbols" fonts, removed Symbola. Note: Many Emoji and pictographs added in recent years are still missing.

-* Added setting for a custom TrueType symbol font for any missing characters.

-* Feeds: Disregard old entries whose unread status would have been forgotten.

• Improved icon alignment in lists.

-* Added --url-or-search (-u) command line option. Depending on the parameter, either open an URL or make a search query.

-* Open all URLs/files specified on the command line in new tabs, and raise the window if the app is already running. (Kudos to Alyssa Rosenzweig.)

-* Added keybindings for split view menu items.

-* Changed default split view keys to conform to Emacs (3 for horizontal, 2 for vertical split).

-* Improved New Identity dialog. An option is provided to automatically use the new identity of the current domain/page. The additional fields are hidden by default.

-* Improved usability of Identities sidebar. No more accidental activations: left-clicking an identity opens the context menu without making any changes. The context menu shows each active URL as a menu item for easy access. Identity icons reflect the usage status: all identities used on the current domain get highlighted in addition to the currently used one.

-* Identities can be exported: certificate and private key are opened in a new tab in plain text PEM format.

-* Fixed issues with identity usage: a higher-up URL overrides and deactivates URLs with all the contained paths to avoid redundant activation.

-* Error pages include the human-readable text sent by the server.

• Reduced line gap between word-wrapped top-level headings.

-* Improvements for touch screen event handling in split view mode.

• Modal dialog background dimming fades in/out smoothly.

+* macOS: Workaround for an issue that causes UI refresh to pause occasionally for ~100 ms.

+Split view:

+* Added keybindings for split view menu items.

+* Changed default split view keys to conform to Emacs (3 for horizontal, 2 for vertical split).

+* Fixes and improvements for touch screen event handling in split view mode.

+Command line:

+* Added --url-or-search (-u) command line option. Depending on the parameter, either open an URL or make a search query.

1.4.1

• Fixed removing the left side split by closing all its tabs. The URL input field got confused about which tab was currently open, and the wrong theme was active.
