Hey, I've been asked by various people about what's up with qutebrowser for the next few months, so I thought I'd write a quick announcement about it.
Plans until September --------------------- First of all: I'm mostly going to be busy with exams until September. Because of that and the big changes outlined below, I'd like to ask contributors to wait with working on new features until then. I'll still review PRs with bugfixes, but anything non-trivial with new features will be postponed, and you'll need to resolve conflicts because of the new config. master branch and new completion -------------------------------- Ryan Corre has been working on a new, faster, sqlite based completion for the past year or so, and this work is finally ready now. We're waiting for the (hopefully final) test run to pass, and then that will be merged to master. This means various things: - If you run `master`, your history will be backed up, and converted to sqlite. - You'll need to install the QtSql module and sqlite plugin (depending on your distribution). - `master` is now for v1.0 material, and will see more disruptive changes (i.e. a big config break) in September. If you don't want to be our guinea pig, switch to the latest release, v0.11.0. New config ---------- As mentioned in my last post on https://blog.qutebrowser.org/ the new config isn't complete enough to merge yet. I'll finish and merge it in September, though. At that point, all config files will break (sorry). (Did I already mention you shouldn't be running the git master anymore if you don't want to be our guinea pig?) v1.0 release ------------ There's some more work to do for v1.0 (like making QtWebEngine the default): https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3Av1.0.0 The current tentative release date for v1.0 is December 14th - exactly four years after the first commit, and three years after the first release.
