2010.04.03: Working gmails, better formfillers, less bads and more goods

2010-04-03

Scripts:

• One new formfiller.sh to rule them all. Features: posix sh, multiple
  profiles per site (if needed), correctly talks to uzbl (doesn't do any http)
• download.sh: use content-disposition header (so you get more sensible
  filenames) and tell wget to use `$XDG_DATA_HOME/uzbl/cookies.txt`
• bookmark script: strip tags from pagetitles when saving new bookmarks to avoid bogus
  separations
• Removed inferior/duplicate/broken scripts: cookies.sh, follower.js, hint.js,
  formfiller.pl, linkfollow.js, scroll-percentage.js, extedit.js.
  In the future we will probably use formfiller.sh or something as extedit.js and
  scroll-percentage can maybe be reimplemented without using Uzbl.run()

Uzbl-tabbed:

• Gtk notebook tab reordering
• Handle SIGCHLD to correctly reap children
• Simpler (and working) plaintext session saving/loading. no more json

Uzbl-core

• Support both http and (new) javascript cookies. This should fix
  problems with gmail and probably other sites
• javascript_windows parameter to control whether JS can open new windows by itself
• replaced old new_window handler with NEW_WINDOW event. You can use this
  event to open links (normal links or js links) in the same/new window, but also to open the link in a
  new tab in uzbl-tabbed. (see config)
• some fixes in cleanup()
• Allow period character in variable names (update your user agent, see config)
• Don't try to steal focus if in plug mode
• simplify uri command. now just wraps around `set uri`
• remove deprecated download_handler. we already use the DOWNLOAD_REQUEST event

Config:

• you can use both tabs and spaces in the config now
• '<Shift-Insert>` binding to dump xclip contents into keycmd
• `<Ctrl>]` binding to escape
• Reload only reloads set commands. This avoids things such as adding
  entries to your menu twice when reloading (but does not restore binds
  anymore)
• fix `<Home>` bind

Makefile:

• stopped duplicate compiling
• use DOCDIR
• set correct permissions on all installed files

Goodies:

• Vim syntax file for uzbl config

Dropped dependencies:

• perl
• python-json

From now on, we encourage users to write their scripts in either posix sh or
in python, to minimize dependencies when the scripts end up in the main
tree.

2010.03.14: mouse pointer events, http auth handler, uzbl-tabbed improvements, ...

2010-03-14

• resource-request-starting event. An event for every resource requested (incl. images, stylesheets, etc) (Andrea Marchesini)
• mouse pointer events. (No plugins yet to handle them) (Igor Bogomazov)
• http basic authentication handler (Paweł Zuzelski)
• Plugins can now share non-function objects through the export mechanism (Mason Larobina)
• New uzbl-tabbed events: NEW_BG_TAB, NEW_TAB_NEXT, NEW_BG_TAB_NEXT to
  support opening tab next to current and background tabs (Dmytro Milinevskyy)
• eval_js: print file where the error occured (Simon Lipp)
• reset the keycmd on load start, not commit (fixes irritating keycmd reset when you were typing while a page was loading)
• urlencode '@' characters when getting in urls from external sources (i.e. xclip) to prevent variable expansion
  (Mason Larobina). this is not a permanent fix. we should not alter the url,
  better escaping system will come some day.
• fix typo's in zoom binds (Israel Levin)
• uzbl-tabbed, cookie daemon and EM: don't flush stdout/stderr when not on tty (Israel Levin)
• check webkit version at runtime, not compiletime (Paweł Zuzelski)
• fixes in keybinding and related EM plugins (Mason)
• various (Paweł Zuzelski, Mason, Rob, Dmytro Milinevskyy, me)
