1 conkeror (0.9.3+git101015-1) experimental; urgency=low
3 * The eval-expression command (M-:) now evaluates directly in
4 application scope. This lets you do things like set user variables and
5 define functions without fully qualifying names with "conkeror.".
7 * Page-modes no longer bind alternative keys for keys that they shadow
8 in the normal keymaps. These were bindings like 'C-c f' for follow,
9 etc. The key C-z can now be used as a prefix to access bindings that
10 are shadowed by a page-mode keymap.

16 * Input-modes removed. Instead of an input-mode display in the
17 minibuffer, there is now a keymaps-display.
19 - quote-next-input-mode renamed to quote-next-mode
20 - gmail_edit_keymap removed (no longer necessary)
21 - buffer-reset-input-mode command removed (no longer necessary)
23 * overlink_mode rewritten
25 - content_buffer_overlink_change_hook removed
26 - current_content_buffer_overlink_change_hook removed
28 * Hinting now performs a case-sensitive match if the user's text
29 includes upper-case letters.
31 * stackoverflow-mode has been renamed to stackexchange-mode.

35 conkeror (0.9.2+git100804-1) unstable; urgency=low
37 * Editing in the minibuffer is now done with the normal editing commands
38 instead of a special set of editing commands. All of the editing
39 commands which begin with the prefix "minibuffer-" have been
40 removed. Also, editing commands are now bound in the keymap
41 text_keymap instead of content_buffer_text_keymap and
42 minibuffer_base_keymap. If you have written custom bindings for
43 editing in your rc, you will need to change [pairs of] bindings like
46 define_key(minibuffer_base_keymap, "C-l", "minibuffer-forward-char");
47 define_key(content_buffer_text_keymap, "C-l", "forward-char");
51 define_key(text_keymap, "C-l", "forward-char");
53 * In hinting mode, right and left are no longer bound to
54 next/previous-hint. Hinting mode now supports editing in the
55 minibuffer, so right and left move the cursor. Down, up, C-n, C-p,
56 C-s, and C-r are all bound to next/previous-hint.
58 * Due to a change in Mozilla as of XULRunner 1.9.3a5pre, Conkeror's
59 feature of automatically loading glue code for extensions is no longer
60 possible. This means that when you have one of the previously
61 supported extensions installed, you will no longer automatically have
62 Conkeror commands for using the extension. The extensions that were
63 previously supported in this way were adblockplus, dom-inspector,
64 noscript, and venkman. If you have any of these extensions installed,
65 you will now have to load the glue module from your rc, with a line
66 like the following, substituting in the appropriate module name:
68 require("dom-inspector");
70 With some of these modules, loading the module when the extension is
71 not installed could result in an error, so to be safe, you could wrap
72 the call to 'require' in a try/catch block:
74 try { require("dom-inspector"); } catch (e) {}
76 Further information: http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue272
78 * The variable download_buffer_automatic_open_target can no longer be an
79 array of two targets. This is a reversion from 2009-06-07 back to how
80 it was before. The behavior of the download-show command is now
81 configured independently of this variable. To configure download-show,
82 use set_handler and alternates. The following handlers are provided:
83 download_show_new_window, download_show_new_buffer,
84 download_show_new_buffer_background. The default handler of
85 download_show is alternates(download_show_new_buffer,
86 download_show_new_window).

92 * Function load_rc no longer supports loading arbitrary js files. Use
95 * Function load_rc_file removed. Use load instead.
97 * call_after_load now takes a feature name, not a filename. In general
98 this simply means trimming off any ".js" extension.
100 * Modules API overhaul (already included in 0.9.2-1 and caused the
101 uploads 0.9.2+git100324-1 and -2):
102 - Modules should have an in_module assertion as their first
103 expression. For modules to be loaded directly into application
104 scope, it should be in_module(null);
105 - Modules should have as their last expression a provide call, like
106 provide("feature"); where "feature" is the name of the feature
107 provided by the module.

113 * emacswiki webjump removed. better version posted on
114 http://conkeror.org/Webjumps
116 * M-< and home keys now scroll to the top left corner of the buffer.
118 * minibuffer.read_url now returns a load_spec instead of a simple

122 confirmation, see the code example on

127 conkeror (0.9.1+git100131-1) unstable; urgency=low
129 Please see http://conkeror.org/BreakingChanges for the complete list of
130 breaking changes. Just the most important ones are listed here.
132 * mime_type_external_handlers removed. Replaced by
133 external_content_handlers.
135 * define_buffer_mode, define_input_mode, and define_page_mode no longer
136 take display_name or doc as positional arguments. They are now given
137 as keyword arguments: $display_name and $doc.
139 * The variable browser_automatic_form_focus_window_duration was renamed
140 to block_content_focus_change_duration.
142 * The commands follow-current, follow-current-new-buffer,
143 follow-current-new-buffer-background, and follow-current-new-window
146 * browser_prevent_automatic_form_focus_mode has been renamed and put in
147 its own file. To use this mode, simply do this:
148 require("block-content-focus-change.js");
150 * The default of hints_auto_exit_delay has been changed to 0.
152 This change means that by default, the user has to hit return to exit
153 the hints interaction. This change makes Conkeror's UI more
154 predictable for new users, less prone to run unintended commands
155 because of extra keystrokes outside the timeout window, and removes
156 assumptions about people's typing speed, browsing style, and focus of
157 attention when using the hints system.
159 To use the hints-auto-exit feature, put a line like the following in
160 your rc, adjusting the number to suit your preference. 500 was the old
163 hints_auto_exit_delay = 500;

167 conkeror (0.9~git090708-1) unstable; urgency=low
169 The conkeror Debian package now works with the upcoming experimental
170 xulrunner-1.9.1 packages (see http://glandium.org/blog/?p=370) in
173 Since conkeror still throws much more warnings with xulrunner 1.9.1 than
174 with 1.9.0.x, for now the package currently prefers 1.9.0.x over 1.9.1
175 if both are installed.
177 Call "xulrunner-1.9.1 /usr/share/conkeror/application.ini" if you have
178 xulrunner-1.9 and xulrunner-1.9.1 installed and want to checkout
179 conkeror in combination with xulrunner 1.9.1.

183 conkeror (0.9~git090617-1) unstable; urgency=low
185 There were a few changes since the last conkeror version in Debian which
186 may cause troubles to users of the previous version.
188 Short summary follows:
189 * The key bindings `<<` and `>>` are now simply `<` and `>`.
190 * page-mode keymaps are now declared in the `define_page_mode` form with
191 a new keyword argument, `$keymaps`. See
192 http://conkeror.org/WritingPageModes for more information about the
194 * `default_directory` and `set_default_directory` have been removed and
195 replaced by the variable `cwd`.
196 * buffer-local variables are now indexed by `buffer.local.foo`.
197 page-local variables are indexed by `buffer.page.local.foo`.
198 * The command `send-ret` was removed since it is redundant of the
199 module `global-overlay-keymap`.
200 * Buffer-local cwd is no longer set or inherited automatically.
201 * `download-cancel` is now bound to `d` instead of `C-g`, and it asks
203 * In order to make Conkeror compatible with native toolkit theming,
204 Conkeror's themes have undergone a big rewrite:
205 - Conkeror no longer specifies its own gui colors.
206 - The blackened theme no longer exists.
207 - It is no longer possible to theme scrollbars.
208 From now on, the right way to change Conkeror's gui colors is to do so
209 at the OS level, for example, with a GTK theme.
210 * Conkeror has now session saving support. See
211 http://conkeror.org/Sessions for details.
213 See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1547 and
214 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1451 for the
215 details and what to change in case you run over some removed or renamed
216 functions or variables.

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