Ryan Roden-Corrent d35b47c9d8 Regenerate history completion on version change.
Incrementing _USER_VERSION in the source will cause the
HistoryCompletion table to regenerate when users update.

This is currently necessary to support some recent formatting fixes, but
could be incremented again in the future for other changes.

// QUTE_WEB_HIDE_END

qutebrowser is a keyboard-focused browser with a minimal GUI. It's based
on Python and PyQt5 and free software, licensed under the GPL.

It was inspired by other browsers/addons like dwb and Vimperator/Pentadactyl.

Requirements
------------

The following software and libraries are required to run qutebrowser:

* http://www.python.org/[Python] 3.4 or newer (3.6 recommended) - note that
  support for Python 3.4
  https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2742[will be dropped soon].
* http://qt.io/[Qt] 5.2.0 or newer (5.9 recommended - note that support for Qt
  < 5.7.1 will be dropped soon) with the following modules:
  - QtCore / qtbase
  - QtQuick (part of qtbase in some distributions)
  - QtSQL (part of qtbase in some distributions)
  - QtWebEngine, or
  - QtWebKit (old or link:https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki[reloaded]/NG).
    Note that support for legacy QtWebKit (before 5.212) will be
    dropped soon.
* http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro[PyQt] 5.2.0 or newer
  (5.9 recommended) for Python 3. Note that support for PyQt < 5.7 will be
  dropped soon.
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/[pkg_resources/setuptools]
* http://fdik.org/pyPEG/[pyPEG2]
* http://jinja.pocoo.org/[jinja2]
* http://pygments.org/[pygments]
* http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML[PyYAML]

The following libraries are optional:

* http://cthedot.de/cssutils/[cssutils] (for an improved `:download --mhtml`
  with QtWebKit)
* On Windows, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama/[colorama] for colored log
  output.
* http://asciidoc.org/[asciidoc] to generate the documentation for the `:help`
  command, when using the git repository (rather than a release).

See link:INSTALL.asciidoc[INSTALL] for directions on how to install qutebrowser
and its dependencies.

Donating
--------

Working on qutebrowser is a very rewarding hobby, but like (nearly) all hobbies
it also costs some money. Namely I have to pay for the server and domain, and
do occasional hardware upgrades footnote:[It turned out a 160 GB SSD is rather
small - the VMs and custom Qt builds I use for testing/developing qutebrowser
need about 100 GB of space].

If you want to give me a beer or a pizza back, I'm trying to make it as easy as
possible for you to do so. If some other way would be easier for you, please
get in touch!

qutebrowser's primary author is Florian Bruhin (The Compiler), but qutebrowser
wouldn't be what it is without the help of

Additionally, the following people have contributed graphics:

* Jad/link:http://yelostudio.com[yelo] (new icon)
