Hi, I'm happy to annouce the release of qutebrowser v0.8.2!
This release comes with various bugfixes, including a fix for a privacy issue: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Since v0.2.0, qutebrowser didn't set QtWebKit's private browsing flag correctly if it was changed in a running instance (:set general private-browsing true). While everything handled by qutebrowser directly (history, cookies, cache) is not affected, some things handled by QtWebKit are affected: - HTML5 local storage - Passing private browsing mode to NPAPI plugins (like Flash) - Possibly other locations where QtWebKit checks private browsing which I didn't find due to WebKit's complexity. qutebrowser instances launched after private-browsing was set in the config are not affected. I recommend you update ASAP, and review your local-storage and offline-storage folders for unwanted entries. Their location: - Linux: ~/.local/share/qutebrowser/ - Windows: %APPDATA%\Local\qutebrowser\data - OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/qutebrowser If you're for some reason unable to update, this patch will fix the issue: https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/commit/43ff1b0d97d989aca1002db7667f7a1b84a686d9 As a workaround, you can also do :restart after setting private-browsing. Feel free to contact me privately for any questions, and sorry for one of those "this really shouldn't have happened" bugs :-/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other than that issue, this release also fixes various bugs introduced in v0.8.0, as well as some older issues: - Fixed crash when using hints with JS disabled in some rare circumstances. - When hinting input fields (`:t`), also consider input elements without a type. - Fixed crash when opening an invalid URL with a percent-encoded and a real @ in it - Fixed default `;o` and `;O` bindings - Fixed local storage not working (and possible other bugs) when using a relative path with `--basedir`. - Fixed crash when deleting a quickmark with Ctrl-D - Fixed HTML5 video playback on Windows - Fixed crash when using `:prompt-open-download` with a file with chars not encodable with the OS' filesystem encoding (e.g. with `LC_ALL=C`) - Fixed `:prompt-open-download` with a too long filename (> 255 bytes) - Fixed crash when cancelling a download after doing `:prompt-open-download` - Fixed crash when writing a download to disk fails with `:prompt-open-download`.
