CHANGELOG.md

   1 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
   2
   3 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
   4   is scrolled instead.
   5 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
   6 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
   7 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
   8 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
   9   text only” option.
  10 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
  11
  12 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
  13
  14 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
  15   work as expected.
  16 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the address bar and in the dev tools.
  17 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
  18   dialog and hint markers unreadable.
  19 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
  20
  21 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
  22
  23 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
  24
  25 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
  26
  27 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
  28   layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
  29
  30 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
  31
  32   - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
  33   - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
  34     instead of being specially handled.
  35   - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
  36     VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
  37     **[blacklist] instead.**
  38   - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
  39     it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
  40   - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
  41     (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
  42     `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
  43
  44   (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
  45
  46 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
  47   standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
  48
  49   - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
  50
  51   - `<c-K>` → `gK`
  52
  53   - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
  54
  55     `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
  56     selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
  57
  58   - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
  59
  60   - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
  61
  62   - `vf` → `zf`
  63
  64     This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
  65     “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
  66
  67   - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
  68     mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
  69     state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
  70     (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
  71     broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
  72     \#375 #432
  73
  74 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
  75   To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
  76   Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
  77   **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
  78   `g,J`.
  79
  80 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
  81   instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
  82   hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
  83   hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
  84   now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
  85   tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
  86   can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
  87
  88 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
  89   **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
  90
  91 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
  92   philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
  93   prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
  94   autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
  95   with other extensions. #497 #541
  96
  97 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
  98   used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
  99   them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
 100
 101 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
 102   scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
 103   information.
 104
 105 ##### New features
 106
 107 - New commands:
 108
 109   - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
 110     above.) #121
 111   - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
 112   - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
 113   - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
 114   - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
 115     Ignore mode.
 116
 117 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
 118   marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
 119   commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
 120
 121 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
 122
 123 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
 124   [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
 125
 126 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
 127   [`<late>`] key for more information.
 128
 129 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
 130   regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
 131
 132 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
 133   the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
 134   abilites, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
 135   certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
 136   [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
 137   \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
 138
 139 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
 140   changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
 141
 142 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
 143
 144 - A few new locales were added:
 145
 146   - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
 147   - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
 148   - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
 149
 150 ##### Improvements
 151
 152 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
 153   can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
 154   issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
 155   multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
 156   non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
 157
 158 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
 159   previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
 160   patterns]. #396
 161
 162 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
 163   phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
 164
 165 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
 166   you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
 167   \#421
 168
 169 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
 170   clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
 171   the address bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
 172   \#353 #382
 173
 174 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
 175
 176 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
 177
 178 ##### Minor bug fixes
 179
 180 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
 181 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
 182 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
 183 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
 184   \#477
 185 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
 186 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.
 187   \#389

 212
 213 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
 214
 215 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
 216   version 0.5.15).
 217
 218 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
 219
 220 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
 221   in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
 222
 223 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
 224
 225 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
 226   0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
 227   but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
 228 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
 229   to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
 230   commands.
 231 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
 232   be able to force a new tab or window.
 233 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
 234   default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
 235   'Esc'.
 236 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
 237 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
 238
 239 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
 240
 241 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
 242 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
 243 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
 244 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
 245 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
 246   was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
 247   it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
 248   to break.
 249
 250 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
 251
 252 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
 253 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
 254 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
 255 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
 256   using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
 257   clicking a menu item).
 258 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
 259   page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
 260 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
 261 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
 262   until you reloaded the page.
 263 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
 264 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
 265   just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
 266 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
 267   screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
 268   keyboard.
 269 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
 270   'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
 271
 272 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
 273
 274 - Fixed: Autofocus preventiton got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
 275   focus inputs.
 276
 277 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
 278
 279 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
 280 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
 281 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
 282 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
 283 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
 284 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
 285 - Improved: A few minor things.
 286
 287 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
 288
 289 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default pereferences
 290
 291 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
 292
 293 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
 294 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
 295
 296 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
 297
 298 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
 299
 300 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
 301
 302 - Bug fix
 303
 304 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
 305
 306 - Updated some translations
 307 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
 308
 309 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
 310
 311 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
 312
 313 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
 314

 323 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
 324 - Update zh-CN localization
 325
 326 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
 327
 328 - Lots of refactoring
 329 - Insert mode (`i` command)
 330 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
 331 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode

 348   are used often
 349 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages wihere window is not scrollable
 350 - Find disabled on non HTML documents

 388 - Added `gh` command that will navigate to the home page.
 389 - Added `o` command to focus address bar.
 390 - `p` and `P` will parse the contents of the clipboard. If the string in the

 393   provider.
 394 - Now hint markers for links will stay on top of all the markers for different
 395   kinds of elements.
