Major Feature

The major feature of this release is media type handlers. You can now open files from Gemini directly in your default application. A more advanced user can override what application is used, and even specify to stream certain file types, like to always stream videos with VLC. See the wiki for more details.

If you'd like to support Amfora development, as well as my other Gemini projects, you can sponsor me through Ko-Fi or Github Sponsors. Thanks!

User Info

Users of Amfora do not need to make any changes to their setup. But you want to configure some of the new features, you will need to change your configuration file. You can delete the file and let Amfora create the new default one, or modify it yourself.
