Badwolf 1.2.2 release! - 2021-11-21

I just screwed the 1.2.1 release with forgetting to bump the version
(and putting a wrong date in the notes).
Gonna fix it for future releases via writing scripts to avoid another PEBKAC.

Commits
=======

Haelwenn (lanodan) Monnier (2):
      Bump to 1.2.2
      Merge branch 'release-1.2' into missy for 1.2.2

Badwolf 1.2.1 release! — 2021-10-02

Highlights
==========

Fixes
-----
- Segfault when adding a certificate exception
- Compatibility with systems running with glib-2.0 <2.66.0 (ie. Ubuntu LTS)

Changes
-------
- Reverted back to favoring libsoup URI parser over GLib's GUri

Commits
=======

Haelwenn (lanodan) Monnier (4):

      configure: Pick libsoup2 instead of GUri with webkit2gtk-4.0
      Merge branch 'release-1.2' into missy for 1.2.1

Highlights
==========

Additions
---------
- Middle clicking on a tab now closes it

-------
- This release introduces a ./configure script, it isn't autotools-like,
  it takes environment variables as configuration overrides and writes
  the results to config.mk

Fixes
-----
- webkit2gtk-4.1 (WebKit GTK+3.0 port with libsoup3) compatibility
- WebKitGTK 2.34.0+, requiring GApplication initialization
- Manpage: Some tags were off, apparently leading to broken formatting
- crashes: download stop icon, about dialog

Badwolf 1.1.0 release!

This release and it's timing means that the 1.0-branch is now only maintained
for security bugs.

Thanks to the translators for sending updates before the release.

It's also time for a status update blog post:

Additions
---------
- Bookmarks, they are at their early stage, for now it's only completion,
  edition can be done with third-party programs (elinks, keditbookmarks, …).
  Wayland users should also note the following issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/699
- Content-Filters are finally integrated which means that adblock extensions
  aren't needed anymore, you only need to give a policy file
- New translation: de

Changes
-------

Finally the 1.0.0 release!

This release means that the user interface will not have breaking changes
as in (re)moving elements or keybinds until 2.0.0. Additions will still be done
but they will try to avoid breaking usage.

Also as it has been more than a year of using it as a daily driver, I made this
blog post: https://hacktivis.me/articles/BadWolf%2C%20one%20year%20later

Some stats:
$ cat *.c *.h *.sh | wc -l -m
   1699   60540
   lines  characters

Additions
---------
- interface.txt: Initial documentation
- interface.css, GTK widget names: You can now customise the interface styling
- Logo: finally you should be able to nicely launch it in a desktop environment
- Downloads tab: list the downloads with status+progress bar, stopping them
and destination link
- Back/Forward buttons: So you don't have to use keybinds or hunt for a good
place to use the context-menu anymore
- Automatic Image loading toggle: Preserving bandwidth and memory
- Printing button & key binding: So you don't have to call `window.print()`
- .editorconfig file

Changes
-------
- Modified the javascript checkbox to a text-based button with mmemonics binding

Fixes
-----
- Dark mode should now be nicely supported (tested on WebKitGTK 2.28.0 to 2.28.2)

Changes
-------
- Configuration: Disable "allow-top-navigation-to-data-urls" setting introduced
in 2.28.0 as recommended in the documentation.

Fixes
-----
- Forgot to run clang-format over the code

This release could have been 1.0.0 but it needs some documentation of the UI
elements and few changes on the UI (for example the JS toggle needs better
discoverability and a settings dropdown/modal is considered for other settings).

- Packaging: Support for environment variables, notably PKGCONFIG
- Copyright: change attribution to Badwolf Authors <https://hacktivis.me/projects/badwolf>
