3 * Editing in the minibuffer is now done with the normal editing commands
4 instead of a special set of editing commands. All of the editing
5 commands which begin with the prefix "minibuffer-" have been
6 removed. Also, editing commands are now bound in the keymap
7 text_keymap instead of content_buffer_text_keymap and
8 minibuffer_base_keymap. If you have written custom bindings for
9 editing in your rc, you will need to change [pairs of] bindings like
12 define_key(minibuffer_base_keymap, "C-l", "minibuffer-forward-char");
13 define_key(content_buffer_text_keymap, "C-l", "forward-char");
17 define_key(text_keymap, "C-l", "forward-char");
19 * In hinting mode, right and left are no longer bound to
20 next/previous-hint. Hinting mode now supports editing in the
21 minibuffer, so right and left move the cursor. Down, up, C-n, C-p,
22 C-s, and C-r are all bound to next/previous-hint.
24 * Due to a change in Mozilla as of XULRunner 1.9.3a5pre, Conkeror's
25 feature of automatically loading glue code for extensions is no longer
26 possible. This means that when you have one of the previously
27 supported extensions installed, you will no longer automatically have
28 Conkeror commands for using the extension. The extensions that were
29 previously supported in this way were adblockplus, dom-inspector,
30 noscript, and venkman. If you have any of these extensions installed,
31 you will now have to load the glue module from your rc, with a line
32 like the following, substituting in the appropriate module name:
34 require("dom-inspector");
36 With some of these modules, loading the module when the extension is
37 not installed could result in an error, so to be safe, you could wrap
38 the call to 'require' in a try/catch block:
40 try { require("dom-inspector"); } catch (e) {}
42 Further information: http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue272
44 * The variable download_buffer_automatic_open_target can no longer be an
45 array of two targets. This is a reversion from 2009-06-07 back to how
46 it was before. The behavior of the download-show command is now
47 configured independently of this variable. To configure download-show,
48 use set_handler and alternates. The following handlers are provided:
49 download_show_new_window, download_show_new_buffer,
50 download_show_new_buffer_background. The default handler of
51 download_show is alternates(download_show_new_buffer,
52 download_show_new_window).

58 * Function load_rc no longer supports loading arbitrary js files. Use
61 * Function load_rc_file removed. Use load instead.
63 * call_after_load now takes a feature name, not a filename. In general
64 this simply means trimming off any ".js" extension.
66 * Modules API overhaul (already included in 0.9.2-1 and caused the
67 uploads 0.9.2+git100324-1 and -2):
68 - Modules should have an in_module assertion as their first
69 expression. For modules to be loaded directly into application
70 scope, it should be in_module(null);
71 - Modules should have as their last expression a provide call, like
72 provide("feature"); where "feature" is the name of the feature
73 provided by the module.

79 * emacswiki webjump removed. better version posted on

82 * M-< and home keys now scroll to the top left corner of the buffer.
84 * minibuffer.read_url now returns a load_spec instead of a simple

88 confirmation, see the code example on

93 conkeror (0.9.1+git100131-1) unstable; urgency=low
95 Please see http://conkeror.org/BreakingChanges for the complete list of
96 breaking changes. Just the most important ones are listed here.
98 * mime_type_external_handlers removed. Replaced by
99 external_content_handlers.
101 * define_buffer_mode, define_input_mode, and define_page_mode no longer
102 take display_name or doc as positional arguments. They are now given
103 as keyword arguments: $display_name and $doc.
105 * The variable browser_automatic_form_focus_window_duration was renamed
106 to block_content_focus_change_duration.
108 * The commands follow-current, follow-current-new-buffer,
109 follow-current-new-buffer-background, and follow-current-new-window
112 * browser_prevent_automatic_form_focus_mode has been renamed and put in
113 its own file. To use this mode, simply do this:
114 require("block-content-focus-change.js");
116 * The default of hints_auto_exit_delay has been changed to 0.
118 This change means that by default, the user has to hit return to exit
119 the hints interaction. This change makes Conkeror's UI more
120 predictable for new users, less prone to run unintended commands
121 because of extra keystrokes outside the timeout window, and removes
122 assumptions about people's typing speed, browsing style, and focus of
123 attention when using the hints system.
125 To use the hints-auto-exit feature, put a line like the following in
126 your rc, adjusting the number to suit your preference. 500 was the old
129 hints_auto_exit_delay = 500;

135 The conkeror Debian package now works with the upcoming experimental
136 xulrunner-1.9.1 packages (see http://glandium.org/blog/?p=370) in
139 Since conkeror still throws much more warnings with xulrunner 1.9.1 than
140 with 1.9.0.x, for now the package currently prefers 1.9.0.x over 1.9.1
141 if both are installed.
143 Call "xulrunner-1.9.1 /usr/share/conkeror/application.ini" if you have
144 xulrunner-1.9 and xulrunner-1.9.1 installed and want to checkout
145 conkeror in combination with xulrunner 1.9.1.

149 conkeror (0.9~git090617-1) unstable; urgency=low
151 There were a few changes since the last conkeror version in Debian which
152 may cause troubles to users of the previous version.
154 Short summary follows:
155 * The key bindings `<<` and `>>` are now simply `<` and `>`.
156 * page-mode keymaps are now declared in the `define_page_mode` form with
157 a new keyword argument, `$keymaps`. See
158 http://conkeror.org/WritingPageModes for more information about the
160 * `default_directory` and `set_default_directory` have been removed and
161 replaced by the variable `cwd`.
162 * buffer-local variables are now indexed by `buffer.local.foo`.
163 page-local variables are indexed by `buffer.page.local.foo`.
164 * The command `send-ret` was removed since it is redundant of the
165 module `global-overlay-keymap`.
166 * Buffer-local cwd is no longer set or inherited automatically.
167 * `download-cancel` is now bound to `d` instead of `C-g`, and it asks
169 * In order to make Conkeror compatible with native toolkit theming,
170 Conkeror's themes have undergone a big rewrite:
171 - Conkeror no longer specifies its own gui colors.
172 - The blackened theme no longer exists.
173 - It is no longer possible to theme scrollbars.
174 From now on, the right way to change Conkeror's gui colors is to do so
175 at the OS level, for example, with a GTK theme.
176 * Conkeror has now session saving support. See
177 http://conkeror.org/Sessions for details.
179 See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1547 and
180 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1451 for the
181 details and what to change in case you run over some removed or renamed
182 functions or variables.

186 conkeror (0.9~git090223-1) unstable; urgency=low
188 There were a few changes since the last conkeror version in Debian which
189 may cause troubles to users of the previous version:
190 * Changes to the behaviour of the universal argument C-u.
191 * Loads now ~/.conkerorrc as the default rc file
192 * Many simple webjumps previously enabled by default have been removed
193 from upstream. Non-default webjumps are now collected and shared at
194 http://conkeror.org/Webjumps
195 * Many additional keybindings, e.g.
196 - pasting current paste buffer content bound to `C-y'
197 - new command `submit-form' bound to `C-c C-c' in forms
198 * Incremental search for URLs in the mini-buffer can currently include
199 _either_ the history or the bookmarks, but not both at the same
200 time. See http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue10 for details on choosing
