3 * In the new-tabs module, the widgets that show the buffer index in each
4 tab now have the class "tab2-index" instead of "tab2-icon". This
5 change affects anybody who has written a theme which styles the
8 * The variable edit_field_in_external_editor_extension has been removed,
9 and superseded by a mime-type table
10 external_editor_extension_overrides which maps mime types to
11 extensions. If you previously used this variable to set the temp file
12 extension to "foo", for example, you would update your rc to now do
15 external_editor_extension_overrides.set("text/plain", "foo");
17 * The function get_filename_for_current_textfield has been superseded by
18 external_editor_make_base_filename, which takes as its arguments the
19 root element being edited and the top document of the buffer
20 containing the element. The top document is more useful than the
21 element's own ownerDocument in some cases, such as when about:blank is
22 used for the document of an editable iframe. The new function returns
23 only the base filename, with no extension, as the extension is
24 generated by means described above.
26 * buffer_favicon_change_hook renamed to buffer_icon_change_hook
28 * current_buffer_favicon_change_hook renamed to
29 current_buffer_icon_change_hook
31 * reddit-mode is no longer loaded by default. Consensus was that it is a
32 confusing mode, mainly because of how it overrides several default
33 browser objects. If you use this mode, you will now need to load it by
34 putting the following in your rc:
38 * Module search-engine.js replaced by opensearch.js. API for defining
39 opensearch webjumps has changed to be more conventional. Opensearch
40 webjumps can now be defined like either of the following:
42 define_opensearch_webjump("foo", make_file("/opensearch/files/foo.xml"));
44 opensearch_load_paths.unshift(make_file("/opensearch/files/"));
45 define_opensearch_webjump("foo", "foo.xml");
47 * The browser object browser-object-links, which is used by follow,
48 copy, etc, no longer matches anchors which do not have an href

55 * The eval-expression command (M-:) now evaluates directly in
56 application scope. This lets you do things like set user variables and
57 define functions without fully qualifying names with "conkeror.".
59 * Page-modes no longer bind alternative keys for keys that they shadow
60 in the normal keymaps. These were bindings like 'C-c f' for follow,
61 etc. The key C-z can now be used as a prefix to access bindings that
62 are shadowed by a page-mode keymap.

68 * Input-modes removed. Instead of an input-mode display in the
69 minibuffer, there is now a keymaps-display.
71 - quote-next-input-mode renamed to quote-next-mode
72 - gmail_edit_keymap removed (no longer necessary)
73 - buffer-reset-input-mode command removed (no longer necessary)
75 * overlink_mode rewritten
77 - content_buffer_overlink_change_hook removed
78 - current_content_buffer_overlink_change_hook removed
80 * Hinting now performs a case-sensitive match if the user's text
81 includes upper-case letters.
83 * stackoverflow-mode has been renamed to stackexchange-mode.

87 conkeror (0.9.2+git100804-1) unstable; urgency=low
89 * Editing in the minibuffer is now done with the normal editing commands
90 instead of a special set of editing commands. All of the editing
91 commands which begin with the prefix "minibuffer-" have been
92 removed. Also, editing commands are now bound in the keymap
93 text_keymap instead of content_buffer_text_keymap and
94 minibuffer_base_keymap. If you have written custom bindings for
95 editing in your rc, you will need to change [pairs of] bindings like
98 define_key(minibuffer_base_keymap, "C-l", "minibuffer-forward-char");
99 define_key(content_buffer_text_keymap, "C-l", "forward-char");
103 define_key(text_keymap, "C-l", "forward-char");
105 * In hinting mode, right and left are no longer bound to
106 next/previous-hint. Hinting mode now supports editing in the
107 minibuffer, so right and left move the cursor. Down, up, C-n, C-p,
108 C-s, and C-r are all bound to next/previous-hint.
110 * Due to a change in Mozilla as of XULRunner 1.9.3a5pre, Conkeror's
111 feature of automatically loading glue code for extensions is no longer
112 possible. This means that when you have one of the previously
113 supported extensions installed, you will no longer automatically have
114 Conkeror commands for using the extension. The extensions that were
115 previously supported in this way were adblockplus, dom-inspector,
116 noscript, and venkman. If you have any of these extensions installed,
117 you will now have to load the glue module from your rc, with a line
118 like the following, substituting in the appropriate module name:
120 require("dom-inspector");
122 With some of these modules, loading the module when the extension is
123 not installed could result in an error, so to be safe, you could wrap
124 the call to 'require' in a try/catch block:
126 try { require("dom-inspector"); } catch (e) {}
128 Further information: http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue272
130 * The variable download_buffer_automatic_open_target can no longer be an
131 array of two targets. This is a reversion from 2009-06-07 back to how
132 it was before. The behavior of the download-show command is now
133 configured independently of this variable. To configure download-show,
134 use set_handler and alternates. The following handlers are provided:
135 download_show_new_window, download_show_new_buffer,
136 download_show_new_buffer_background. The default handler of
137 download_show is alternates(download_show_new_buffer,
138 download_show_new_window).

144 * Function load_rc no longer supports loading arbitrary js files. Use
147 * Function load_rc_file removed. Use load instead.
149 * call_after_load now takes a feature name, not a filename. In general
150 this simply means trimming off any ".js" extension.
152 * Modules API overhaul (already included in 0.9.2-1 and caused the
153 uploads 0.9.2+git100324-1 and -2):
154 - Modules should have an in_module assertion as their first
155 expression. For modules to be loaded directly into application
156 scope, it should be in_module(null);
157 - Modules should have as their last expression a provide call, like
158 provide("feature"); where "feature" is the name of the feature
159 provided by the module.

181 Please see http://conkeror.org/BreakingChanges for the complete list of
182 breaking changes. Just the most important ones are listed here.
184 * mime_type_external_handlers removed. Replaced by
185 external_content_handlers.
187 * define_buffer_mode, define_input_mode, and define_page_mode no longer
188 take display_name or doc as positional arguments. They are now given
189 as keyword arguments: $display_name and $doc.
191 * The variable browser_automatic_form_focus_window_duration was renamed
192 to block_content_focus_change_duration.
194 * The commands follow-current, follow-current-new-buffer,
195 follow-current-new-buffer-background, and follow-current-new-window
198 * browser_prevent_automatic_form_focus_mode has been renamed and put in
199 its own file. To use this mode, simply do this:
200 require("block-content-focus-change.js");
202 * The default of hints_auto_exit_delay has been changed to 0.
204 This change means that by default, the user has to hit return to exit
205 the hints interaction. This change makes Conkeror's UI more
206 predictable for new users, less prone to run unintended commands
207 because of extra keystrokes outside the timeout window, and removes
208 assumptions about people's typing speed, browsing style, and focus of
209 attention when using the hints system.
211 To use the hints-auto-exit feature, put a line like the following in
212 your rc, adjusting the number to suit your preference. 500 was the old
215 hints_auto_exit_delay = 500;

221 The conkeror Debian package now works with the upcoming experimental
222 xulrunner-1.9.1 packages (see http://glandium.org/blog/?p=370) in
225 Since conkeror still throws much more warnings with xulrunner 1.9.1 than
226 with 1.9.0.x, for now the package currently prefers 1.9.0.x over 1.9.1
227 if both are installed.
229 Call "xulrunner-1.9.1 /usr/share/conkeror/application.ini" if you have
230 xulrunner-1.9 and xulrunner-1.9.1 installed and want to checkout
231 conkeror in combination with xulrunner 1.9.1.

235 conkeror (0.9~git090617-1) unstable; urgency=low
237 There were a few changes since the last conkeror version in Debian which
238 may cause troubles to users of the previous version.
240 Short summary follows:
241 * The key bindings `<<` and `>>` are now simply `<` and `>`.
242 * page-mode keymaps are now declared in the `define_page_mode` form with
243 a new keyword argument, `$keymaps`. See
244 http://conkeror.org/WritingPageModes for more information about the
246 * `default_directory` and `set_default_directory` have been removed and
247 replaced by the variable `cwd`.
248 * buffer-local variables are now indexed by `buffer.local.foo`.
249 page-local variables are indexed by `buffer.page.local.foo`.
250 * The command `send-ret` was removed since it is redundant of the
251 module `global-overlay-keymap`.
252 * Buffer-local cwd is no longer set or inherited automatically.
253 * `download-cancel` is now bound to `d` instead of `C-g`, and it asks
255 * In order to make Conkeror compatible with native toolkit theming,
256 Conkeror's themes have undergone a big rewrite:
257 - Conkeror no longer specifies its own gui colors.
258 - The blackened theme no longer exists.
259 - It is no longer possible to theme scrollbars.
260 From now on, the right way to change Conkeror's gui colors is to do so
261 at the OS level, for example, with a GTK theme.
262 * Conkeror has now session saving support. See
263 http://conkeror.org/Sessions for details.
265 See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1547 and
266 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1451 for the
267 details and what to change in case you run over some removed or renamed
268 functions or variables.

275 may cause troubles to users of the previous version:
276 * Changes to the behaviour of the universal argument C-u.

283 - new command `submit-form' bound to `C-c C-c' in forms
