qutebrowser v2.0.2

on GitHub

Fixed

• When right-clicking an empty part of the downloads bar, qutebrowser v2.0.x
  would crash. This is now fixed.
• Setting content.cookies.store to false only worked properly when this was
  done after qutebrowser was already started due to a regression in v2.0.0. It now
  works as expected again.
• If qutebrowser was installed as a Python egg with Python 3.8 or 3.9,
  requesting unavailable resource files (such as PDF.js not being bundled, or a
  missing changelog file) caused in a crash due to an inconsistent behavior in
  those versions of Python. This is now handled properly by qutebrowser.
• In v2.0.0, support for importing the sip dependency as sip rather than
  PyQt5.sip was dropped, since upstream claims it should be used as PyQt5.sip
  ever since PyQt 5.11. However, some distributions still package sip as a global
  sip package. Thus, support for a global sip package is now reintroduced.
• The changelog for v2.0.0 claimed that hints.leave_on_load was set to true
  by default. However, the input.insert_mode.leave_on_load setting was instead
  set to true accidentally. This is now fixed by actually setting
  hints.leave_on_load to true, and reversing the change to
  input.insert_mode.leave_on_load so it is set to false by default again.
• When the importlib_resources package is required but was missing, users
  would get a Python stacktrace rather than a proper error message. This is now
  fixed.
• Site-specific quirk JavaScript files were loaded lazily rather than preloaded
  at the start of qutebrowser, causing a crash when e.g. switching between
  versions while qutebrowser is open. Now they are preloaded at the start of
  qutebrowser again.
• The link to the keybinding cheatsheet on the internal :help page wasn't
  displayed correctly. This is now fixed.
• When the completion rebuilding process was interrupted, qutebrowser did not
  detect this condition on the next start, thus resulting in a completion with
  inconsistent data. This is now fixed, with another rebuild being forced with
  this update, to ensure the data is consistent for all users.
• In certain scenarios, qutebrowser v2.0.x warned about
  config.load_autoconfig(...) being missing when loading a secondary config
  (e.g. via config.source(...)). It now only shows those warnings for the main
  config.py file.
• The --enable-webengine-inspector flag is now accepted again, however it's
  unused and undocumented. It purely exists to make it possible to use :restart
  between pre-v2.0.x and v2.0.2+ versions.
• When hints.dictionary pointed to a file not encoded as UTF-8, this resulted
  in a crash (also in versions before v2.0.0). It now properly displays an error
  instead.
• When running qutebrowser with a single empty commandline argument, such as
  done by open_url_in_instance.sh, this would result in a partially initialized
  window. Interacting with that window results in a crash (also in versions before
  v2.0.0). Instead, the startpage is now shown properly.
