v0.7.0
All changes | All closed issues
Finally, a new release! Only several days short of the 5 year anniversary since v0.6.1.
Thanks to everyone who was reporting issues, suggesting improvements, contributing changes, testing development builds, or just patiently waiting.
Outline
The most significant changes are listed below.
- Web view has been migrated to Qt WebEngine (Chromium). This solves a lot of rendering issues and crashes caused by the unmaintained Qt WebKit.
- Docset pages are now served over built-in HTTP server, which addresses a number of docset specific issues.
- Emulated tabs have been replaced with real widgets, so each tab contains its own web view. Tab bar has been relocated to the top of the application window.
- Significantly improved dark mode support, including both user interface and web view (now uses native Chromium dark mode).
- Keyboard shortcuts are now more browser-like, with many new shorcuts added.
- Qt 6 support.
- CI has been migrated to GitHub Actions with Windows and Linux (AppImage) binaries provided for each build.
