Nyxt 2.1.0

We are happy to announce Nyxt 2.1.0. This release addresses some minor issues in Nyxt and adds a few exciting new features!

Notable highlights:

• New process-mode. Process mode enables you to automate the repetition of tedious tasks. For example, you can have process mode refresh a page whenever you save a file. This could be useful for previewing LaTeX documents, or working on websites!

  A good example of process-mode can be seen in watch-mode which automatically refreshes a page for you on a specified interval.

• Native dialogs.

  When a website pops up a dialog to the user, use the prompt buffer instead of a GTK dialog.

  This behaviour can be controlled with the native-dialogs browser slot.

  

• New cruise-control-mode. Cruise control mode allows you to scroll down the page at a fixed speed. This mode is particularly well suited for reading long articles.

• The "Loading:" text in the status area has been replaced by a small animating spinner.

• Bug fixes:

  • Fix broken "hamburger" button to list buffers.

  • Make bookmarklets callable from execute-command.

  • Quit gracefully when C-c is pressed in the parent shell.

  • Fix search engine queries with & and % characters.

  • Make search-buffer-source customizable with define-configuration. (Thanks to @mariari.)

  • Support command-line argument in external-editor-program.

  • Fix proxy-mode configuration. (Thanks to @Zwo1in.)

  • Fix history corruptions when an error occurred while saving the history to disk.

For the complete change list, please consult the CHANGELOG.org file.
