skyjake/lagrange v1.6.0

on GitHub

⚠️ A new TOFU trust store will be created. The old one is kept around but ignored.
⚠️ App state serialization format has been updated. Downgrading to a previous release will cause app state to be reset (e.g., tabs closed, navigation history cleared).
⚠️ New build dependencies: HarfBuzz and GNU FriBidi (see README).

New features:

• Added support for bidirectional text and complex scripts. العالم متنوع
• Right-to-left paragraphs are aligned to the right. Link icons and list/quote symbols are moved to the right margin.
• Added support for Titan uploads. The data to upload can be entered via a text field or by dropping a file on the window.
• Added a keybinding for opening the current page URL in the upload dialog (Ctrl+U/⌘U). This simply switches the page's URL scheme from gemini to titan.
• Added a configuration file for defining the UI color palette (see Help, section 3.5).
• Added settings for keyboard and mouse scrolling speeds.
• Added setting for changing Return key behavior in input fields (line break vs. accept).
• Added setting for adjusting line spacing.
• Added link context menu item for deleting local files (e.g., downloads).

Changes and enhancements:

• Improved TOFU: if the server certificate is not trusted, the connection is aborted at the TLS handshake stage. Previously, only a warning was shown and the page contents were fetched regardless.
• Server certificate fingerprints are generated based on public keys, which allows servers to renew their certificates without losing trusted status.
• Improved handling of expired server certificates. An error page is shown and the connection is aborted at the TLS handshake stage. The user can give a temporary exception to load the page.
• Page contents are cached in presentation form for quicker restoring during back/forward navigation.
• Inline images/audio will not get discarded during back/forward navigation. The Network > Memory Size setting determines the maximum memory usage for media. Setting the Memory Size to zero is equivalent to the previous behavior of discarding everything when the page changes.
• Debug information includes RAM use in addition to cache size. This includes document layout and media stored in memory (e.g., raw pixel data of images).
• Text input fields support larger amounts of content and expand vertically only up to a limit, after which they start scrolling.
• Preferences have been reorganized. There is a new Fonts tab, and some General settings have been moved to the Style tab. All color-related settings are on the Colors tab, including UI theme colors.
• Links opened on a page are updated to reflect visited status even when opening into a background tab or to the side.
• Unicode Byte Order Mark is ignored in the beginning of a page.
• Updated Smol Emoji with new characters.
• Query/Feeds indicators have a smaller appearance in a narrow window to leave room for the URL.

Fixes:

• Large lede paragraph font is not applied if the paragraph has too many lines.
• Fixed minor kerning issues when using Nunito.
• Fixed sizing of characters in the Noto Symbols fonts.
• Improved internal handling of URLs. For example, some URLs were not being recognized as visited because of percent-encoding differences.
• Fixed URL in the generated page for viewing a single image (spaces weren't encoded).
• Input dialog is not dismissed unless the Cancel button is clicked or Escape is pressed.
• Workaround for a potential hang during the closing of a socket.
• TLS client certificates generated by the app have identical issuer and subject fields, including all the provided information and not just the Common Name.
• Gopher: Improved detection of ASCII art.
• Gopher: Show contents of unrecognized line types.
• Gopher: Don't collapse preformatted blocks since everything is preformatted in the source.
• Gopher: All preformatted blocks are unindented to avoid misaligned ASCII art.
• macOS: ^⌘Space shows the system-provided symbols and Emoji character palette.
  
  NOTE: When compiling from source, get the lagrange-1.6.0.tar.gz tarball because it contains all the required source files. The "Source Code (ZIP/TAR.GZ)" items below are generated by Gitea and contain only this repository (the_Foundation is required as well).

The Intel Mac binaries require macOS 10.13 or later, and the Apple Silicon binaries require macOS 11.0 or later.

The Linux AppImage has been built on Ubuntu 18.04.

The Windows binaries require 64-bit Windows 7 or later. The portable ZIP archive can be extracted and run as-is — user files will be stored under the "userdata" subdirectory.
