- New setting `content -> hyperlink-auditing` to enable/disable support for https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#hyperlink-auditing[hyperlink auditing].
- New arguments `--datadir` and `--cachedir` to set the data/cache location.
- New arguments `--basedir` and `--temp-basedir` (intended for debugging) to set a different base directory for all data, which allows multiple invocations.
- `:scroll` now takes a direction argument (`up`/`down`/`left`/`right`/`top`/`bottom`/`page-up`/`page-down`) instead of two pixel arguments (`dx`/`dy`). The old form still works but is deprecated.
Deprecated
~~~~~~~~~~
- `:scroll` with two pixel-arguments is now deprecated - `:scroll-px` should be used instead.
- The `--no-crash-dialog` argument which was intended for debugging only was removed as it's replaced by `--no-err-windows` which suppresses all error windows.

* The option `completion -> history-length` for the command history got renamed to `cmd-history-max-items`.
- Better save logic for the config/state:
* Only save files if modified (e.g. don't overwrite the config if it was edited outside of qutebrowser and nothing was changed in qutebrowser).
* Save things (cookies, config, quickmarks, ...) periodically all 15 seconds (time can be changed with the `general -> auto-save-interval` option).
- Opera-like mouse rocker gestures

- New `-f` option for `:reload` to reload and bypass the cache.

- Make it possible to use `:open -[twb]` without url.
* New option `general -> default-page` to set the page to be opened when doing that.
- New `input -> partial-timeout` option to clear partial keystrings.

- New `--qt-name` argument to qutebrowser which is passed to Qt to set `WM_CLASS`.
- Alternating row colors in completion. This adds a new `colors -> completion.alternate-bg` option.
Changed
~~~~~~~
- Ignore quotes with maxsplit-commands (`:open`, `:quickmark-load`, etc.) and don't quote arguments for those commands in the completions. This also means some commands needed adjustments:
* Clear search when `:search` without arguments is given. (`:search ""` will now search for the literal text `""`)
* Add `-s`/`--space` argument to `:set-cmd-text` (as `:set-cmd-text "foo "` will now set the literal text `"foo "`)
- Ignore `;;` for splitting with some commands like `:bind`.
- Add unbound (new) default keybindings to config. This also adds a new `<unbound>` special command.
* To unbind a command keybinding without binding it to a new key, you now have to bind it to `<unbound>` or it'll be readded automatically.
- If an SSL error is raised multiple times with the same error/certificate/host/scheme/port, the user is only asked once.
- Jump to last instead of first item when pressing Shift-Tab the first time in the completion.
- Add a fullscreen keybinding.
- Add a `:search` command in addition to `/foo` so it's more visible and can be used from scripts.
- Various improvements to documentation, logging, and the crash reporter.
- Expand `~` to the users home directory with `:run-userscript`.
- Improve the userscript runner on Linux/OS X by using `QSocketNotifier`.
- Add luakit-like `gt`/`gT` keybindings to cycle through tabs.
- Show default value for config values in the completion.
- Clone tab icon, tab text and zoom level when cloning tabs.
- Don't open relative file paths with `:open`, only with commandline arguments.
- Expand environment variables in config settings which take a file path.
- Add a list of common user agents to the user agent setting completion.
- Move cursor to end of textboxes when hinting.
- Don't start searches on invalid URLs for quickmarks/startpage.
- Various performance improvements for the completion.
- Always open URLs given as argument in the foreground.
- Improve various error messages.
- Add `startpage`/`default-page` values to `tabs -> last-close`.
- Various improvements to `:restart` - it should be more robust now and uses sessions so all state (focused tab, scroll position, etc.) gets remembered.
- Add tab index display to the statusbar.
- Keep progress bar height fixed when the statusbar is multiline.
- Many improvements to tests and related infrastructure:
* `init_venv.py` and `run_checks.py` have been replaced by http://tox.readthedocs.org/[tox]. Install tox and run `tox -e mkvenv` instead.
* The tests now use http://pytest.org/[pytest]
* Many new tests added
* Mac Mini buildbot to run the tests on OS X.
* Coverage recording via http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/[coverage.py].
* New `--pdb-postmortem argument` to drop into the pdb debugger on exceptions.
* Use https://github.com/ionelmc/python-hunter[hunter] for line tracing instead of a selfmade solution.
