CHANGELOG.md

   1 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
   2
   3 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
   4   work as expected.
   5 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the address bar and in the dev tools.
   6 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
   7   dialog and hint markers unreadable.
   8 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
   9
  10 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
  11
  12 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
  13
  14 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
  15
  16 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
  17   layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
  18
  19 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
  20
  21   - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
  22   - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
  23     instead of being specially handled.
  24   - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
  25     VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
  26     **[blacklist] instead.**
  27   - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
  28     it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
  29   - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
  30     (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
  31     `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
  32
  33   (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
  34
  35 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
  36   standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
  37
  38   - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
  39
  40   - `<c-K>` → `gK`
  41
  42   - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
  43
  44     `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
  45     selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
  46
  47   - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
  48
  49   - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
  50
  51   - `vf` → `zf`
  52
  53     This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
  54     “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
  55
  56   - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
  57     mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
  58     state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
  59     (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
  60     broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
  61     \#375 #432
  62
  63 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
  64   To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
  65   Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
  66   **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
  67   `g,J`.
  68
  69 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
  70   instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
  71   hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
  72   hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
  73   now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
  74   tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
  75   can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
  76
  77 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
  78   **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
  79
  80 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
  81   philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
  82   prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
  83   autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
  84   with other extensions. #497 #541
  85
  86 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
  87   used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
  88   them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
  89
  90 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
  91   scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
  92   information.
  93
  94 ##### New features
  95
  96 - New commands:
  97
  98   - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
  99     above.) #121
 100   - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
 101   - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
 102   - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
 103   - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
 104     Ignore mode.
 105
 106 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
 107   marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
 108   commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
 109
 110 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
 111
 112 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
 113   [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
 114
 115 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
 116   [`<late>`] key for more information.
 117
 118 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
 119   regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
 120
 121 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
 122   the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
 123   abilites, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
 124   certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
 125   [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
 126   \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
 127
 128 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
 129   changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
 130
 131 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
 132
 133 - A few new locales were added:
 134
 135   - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
 136   - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
 137   - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
 138
 139 ##### Improvements
 140
 141 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
 142   can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
 143   issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
 144   multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
 145   non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
 146
 147 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
 148   previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
 149   patterns]. #396
 150
 151 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
 152   phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
 153
 154 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
 155   you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
 156   \#421
 157
 158 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
 159   clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
 160   the address bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
 161   \#353 #382
 162
 163 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
 164
 165 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
 166
 167 ##### Minor bug fixes
 168
 169 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
 170 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
 171 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
 172 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
 173   \#477
 174 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
 175 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.
 176   \#389

 201
 202 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
 203
 204 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
 205   version 0.5.15).
 206
 207 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
 208
 209 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
 210   in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
 211
 212 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
 213
 214 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
 215   0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
 216   but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
 217 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
 218   to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
 219   commands.
 220 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
 221   be able to force a new tab or window.
 222 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
 223   default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
 224   'Esc'.
 225 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
 226 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
 227
 228 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
 229
 230 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
 231 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
 232 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
 233 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
 234 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
 235   was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
 236   it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
 237   to break.
 238
 239 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
 240
 241 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
 242 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
 243 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
 244 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
 245   using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
 246   clicking a menu item).
 247 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
 248   page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
 249 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
 250 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
 251   until you reloaded the page.
 252 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
 253 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
 254   just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
 255 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
 256   screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
 257   keyboard.
 258 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
 259   'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
 260
 261 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
 262
 263 - Fixed: Autofocus preventiton got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
 264   focus inputs.
 265
 266 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
 267
 268 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
 269 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
 270 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
 271 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
 272 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
 273 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
 274 - Improved: A few minor things.
 275
 276 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
 277
 278 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default pereferences
 279
 280 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
 281
 282 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
 283 - Fixed gg and G to be faster

 288
 289 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
 290
 291 - Bug fix

 295 - Updated some translations
 296 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
