# Tridactyl changelog

## Release 1.13.1 / 2018-06-20

*   New features

    *   `bufferall` bound to `B` by default shows you tabs in all windows.
    *   Container management with `container{create,close,update,delete}`, `viewcontainers` and `tabopen -c [container name] URL`
        *   see `help containercreate` for more information
        *   Mode indicator's border now uses the current container colour
    *   `set hintnames numeric` for sequential numeric hints. Best used with `set hintfiltermode vimperator-reflow`.
    *   Changelog now tells you when there's a new changelog that you haven't read.
    *   `guiset navbar none` removes the navbar totally. Not for the faint-of-heart: you could potentially get trapped if Tridactyl stops working.

*   Bug fixes

    *   `nativeopen` now puts tabs in the same place that `tabopen` would
    *   `santise tridactyllocal tridactylsync` now works in RC files
    *   Missing ;w hint winopen bind added
    *   Fixed minor error with themes not being properly applied on some sites
    *   Fixed reload bug on :help when there's no hash
    *   `<C-i>` editor will now always update the field you started in, not just the one you currently have focused.
    *   "email" input elements can now be focused without errors.
    *   `urlincrement` no longer throws errors if a link cannot be found.

## Release 1.13.0 / 2018-06-08

*   **Potentially breaking changes**

    *   Pipes in `composite` now send return values to the following ex command. Use semi-colons if you want the old behaviour back (see `bind D`).
    *   The `DocStart` autocommand now uses `String.prototype.search` for matching, so you can use regular expressions such as `/www\.amazon\.co.*/`.

*   `editor` now includes the hostname of the site you are on in the temporary filename.

    *   this is mostly so that you can set up syntax highlighting in Vim, e.g, `au BufReadPost *github.com* set syntax=pandoc`

*   `native` support for Windows: just do what `installnative` tells you to.

    *   You'll probably want to make sure `gvim` is on your path.

*   New autocommand events:

    *   TriStart: Triggered when you start firefox.
    *   TabEnter/TabLeft: Triggered when you enter and leave a tab.

*   New commands:

    *   `:js` and `:jsb` let you execute arbitrary javascript.
    *   `:restart` will restart Firefox if you have installed Tridactyl's native executable.
    *   `:fixamo` will make Tridactyl work on addons.mozilla.org. Requires a `:restart`.

*   Hint improvements:

    *   You can select title/alt text of elements using `:hint -P`.
    *   `hint -;` now accepts selectors.
    *   Uppercase hints are now supported.

*   Multiple improvements for the mode indicator. It will:

    *   Disappear when you hover your mouse over it.
    *   Go purple in private windows.
    *   Be invisible on printed pages.

*   There is now a jumplist:

    *   `<C-o>` or `:jumpprev` will go to your previous location.
    *   `<C-i>` or `:jumpnext` will go to the next location in your jumplist.

*   Themes:

    *   `shydactyl`, `greenmat`, `quake` were added.
    *   The dark theme has been updated.
    *   themes apply to {newtab, mode indicator, tutor}.

*   Add new internal structure for themes - check out contributing.md on the repository if you want to add your own

    *   Adding themes at runtime is planned but some way off.

*   The long awaited blacklist to automatically enter ignore mode on some websites is now available! See `:h blacklistadd`.

*   Ignore mode can now also be toggled with <CA-`>.

*   A colon is shown at the beginning of the command line.

*   `:set setting` will now display the setting's value.

*   The command line should work again on image documents.

*   Urlmodify doesn't add the websites you're leaving to your history anymore.

*   An experimental `smoothscroll` setting has been added. You can turn it on by using `:set smoothscroll true`. Be warned, this can make scrolling slower on some websites.

*   `credits` added to show off all the wonderful contributors we have.

*   `help` now displays relevant aliases and key bindings, and `help [key sequence / alias]` will take you to the relevant help.

## Release 1.12.0 / 2018-05-13

*   Add container support
    *   `hint` will now open links in the current container
    *   there is a new setting, `set tabopencontaineraware [false|true]`, which will make `tabopen` open new tabs in the current container
*   Add extra `<CA-Esc>` bind to toggle ignore mode by popular demand
*   Fix errors related to missing native messenger on Firefox launch

## Release 1.11.2 / 2018-05-11

*   Hotfix to prevent "config undefined" errors on browser start if no rc file was found
    *   It was mysteriously only reproducible sometimes...
*   Make newtab changelog a bit wider

## Release 1.11.1 / 2018-05-11

*   **Add "tridactylrc" support**

    *   Stick a bunch of commands you want to run at startup in one of:
        *   `$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/tridactyl/tridactylrc`
        *   `~/.config/tridactyl/tridactylrc`
        *   `~/.tridactylrc`
    *   [Example file available here](https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/blob/master/.tridactylrc)
    *   You can run any file you want with `source [absolute path to file]`. Bonus points if you can think of something sensible to do with `source` in an `autocmd`.
    *   If you want vim-style configuration where nothing persists except that which is in the rc file, simply add `sanitise tridactyllocal tridactylsync` to the top of your rc file.
    *   Only whole-line comments are supported at the moment, in the VimL style where lines start with a quote mark: "

*   Native messenger updated to 0.1.3

    *   Add rc file reader
    *   Add ability to read environment variables
    *   Make read understand ~ and environment variables (used in `source`)

*   Readme updated

    *   Add statistics page and `guiset`

*   Bug fixes

    *   `guiset` can now cope with multiple Firefox instances running simultaneously provided they are started with profiles explicitly via the command line.

*   Deprecations
    *   Remove buffers,tabs as promised
    *   Inform people pressing `I` of the new bind

## Release 1.11.0 / 2018-05-09

*   You can now edit the Firefox GUI from Tridactyl with `guiset`. You must restart Firefox after using `guiset` to see the effects.

    *   e.g, `guiset gui none` or `guiset gui full`.
    *   see all the options with `help guiset` and following the links.
    *   **Only minimally tested. Back up your precious userChrome.css if you care about it!**

*   You can now choose to bypass [CSP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Security_Policy) on all sites with `set csp clobber`. If you change your mind, just `unset csp`, and restart your browser.

    *   This, for example, allows Tridactyl to run on pages such as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/master/CHANGELOG.md, but it could also allow other scripts to run on pages, making the Internet as dangerous as it was about 2 or 3 years ago before CSP was introduced.
    *   Once this [bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1267027) in Firefox is fixed, you won't have to clobber CSP.

*   Tridactyl will no longer update while the browser is running in an attempt to fix issues where the add-on would be unresponsive after an update; instead, it will only update on browser launch.

    *   This includes manual updates via `about:addons`. You'll need to restart the browser after clicking "Check for updates".

*   `set newtab news.bbc.co.uk` etc. now looks much less janky

*   Minor new features

    *   Add !s alias for silent exclaim
    *   `termite` and `terminator` support with `set editorcmd auto`
    *   Allow binding <Esc> (not recommended...)
    *   AMO explains why we need each new permission
    *   Native messenger documentation improved, making it clear that we haven't reimplemented IRC in the browser.

*   Minor bug fixes
    *   Remove pixel gap under command bar (#442)
    *   Native installer no longer requires pip and supports Debian's `which`
    *   Help page links are more legible on rubbish screens
    *   Turn 'q' and 'qall' into aliases
    *   Fix typo regarding binding of special keys on help page
    *   `focusinput` is now better at finding elements to focus

## Release 1.10.1 / 2018-05-04

*   Add tabcloseallto{right,left} bound to `gx0` and `gx$`
*   Update tab page and other documentation to reflect new ignore mode binding
*   Fix #474: you can open a handful of about:\* pages without the native messenger again
*   Improve feedback when native messenger is not correctly installed

## Release 1.10.0 / 2018-05-03

*   Native messenger (for OSX/Linux only, for now)! On Linux/OSXRun `:installnative` to install, then:

    *   `<Ctrl-I>` in a text field will open Vim, probably. Set it with `set editorcmd` but make sure that the command stays in the foreground till the programme is exited.
    *   Not all text fields work yet (esp CodeMirror), so make sure you test it before writing war and peace.
    *   `:! [shell command]` or `:exclaim [shell command]` will run the command and give you STDOUT/STDERR back in the command line.
        *   You can't use composite and shell pipes together yet.
        *   Anything that works in `/bin/sh` should work
            *   If you want to use a different shell, just make your own alias:
                *   `command ! exclaim fish -c` (but be aware that some shells require quotes around arguments given to -c)
    *   Requires a new permission to use the native messenger (and to use Tridactyl at all, unfortunately)
    *   `nativeopen` will try to open a new tab or window using the native messenger. It is used in `{,win,tab}open` automatically when you try to open about:_ or file:_ URIs.

*   Add `hint -W [exstr]` to execute exstr on hint's href

    *   `hint -W exclaim_quiet mpv` works particularly well.

*   **Breaking change**: change ignore mode binds to be symmetric and resolve Jupyter conflict

    *   Ignore mode is now bound to `<S-Insert>` to enter and leave it.
    *   Previous binds of `I` and `<S-Esc>` are unbound

*   More scrolling fixes

    *   `G`/`gg` will now work on more sites

*   Completion improvements

    *   History completion performance improved
        *   If you find you are getting worse results than usual, increase `set historyresults` to, e.g, 500.
    *   Fix #446: you can now edit completions you select with space
    *   Completions will now pan to show you what you have selected

*   Mode indicator is now print friendly (#453)!

*   Fiddled with `help` theme

    *   We've tried to make it look a bit more like the old Vimperator help pages and have hidden some useless or misleading bits that TypeDoc produced, such as the return values.

*   `viewsource` improved

    *   Now bound to `gf` by default
    *   Fix viewsource elem not always covering the whole page
    *   Remove viewsource elem on spa history changes

*   Bind help to F1

*   Changelog changelog:

    *   Change changelog date format
    *   Changelog: use standard case: changelog.md -> CHANGELOG.md
    *   Changelog: move to the standard location
    *   Changelog: add dates

*   Misc fixes
    *   Fix :open <empty string>. Fixes #421
    *   Filter AltGraph keys. Fixes #430
    *   Explain that the hint tags are typed in lowercase even though they are displayed in uppercase

## Release 1.9.8 / 2018-04-26

*   Make error reporting to command line less fussy
*   Fix error reporting loop with `noiframeon`

## Release 1.9.7 / 2018-04-25

*   Load iframe more lazily to stop breakage on some sites
*   Add setting `noiframeon` for websites that are still broken by our iframe ("ServiceNow", for example: #279)
    *   Simply `set noiframeon [space separated URLs]` to blacklist URLs
*   This will hopefully be our final release before the native messenger for OSX and Linux is merged.
    *   If you'd like to help test it out, download our latest betas from [here](https://tridactyl.cmcaine.co.uk/betas) and run `:installnative` once you are in.
