- instead of creating new QSettings objects whenever we want to
save some data, we are using global QSettings object that is
keeping its data in memory and writing to disk only when
really needed
- history model and database writer are now in own thread
- this will keep main thread (GUI) responsive when writing to
database
- it also greatly increases performance when deleting multiple
items in history
- fixed session restore problem, where tab url wasn't
properly restored (and instead loads empty search on
active search engine)
- fixed loading icons in next/back history menu
- fixed showing of "Do you want to restore session" after crash
when using restore session on startup behaviour
(regression from adding speed dial option)
- save file is now selected option in download dialog, also your
choice is saved (through one browser run), so if you choose to open
file, then each next downloaded files will have automatically selected
open file selection (instead of default save file)
- hopefully fixed one crash in webview, showing QMenu with popup()
instead of exec(), popup() is asynchronous call.
- scrolling to top in source viewer on open
- first version of speed dial
- showing pages in maximum 4 columns (unlimited rows)
- option in preferences to open speed dial on new tab
- almost all implemented in js and jQuery, hope it won't be slow.
It loads in about 240ms on my machine and in 2s on my Toshiba
netbook (very very old Intel Atom)
- currently, there is no possibility to change backgroung and
keyboard shortcuts (need to figure out problems with laptop
keyboards (no numerical block => Ctrl + 1 fires Ctrl + + and so on)
Finally fixed "floating statusbar", it has now proper ToolTip behaviour.
DownloadManager now won't ask you whether you want delete file if some
error in downloading occurs.
In all themes fixed TextBrowser's rounded borders in KDE
Back/forward history menus now won't show duplicated entries and also
navigating with back/forward on pages won't leave you on the same page
as you are actually visiting.
Though this bug was appearing rarely, it was annoying.
This is not normal QtWebKit behaviour, in standard implementation it is
working just fine, but QupZilla is using QWebPage::extension error
pages, and when this error page appears in frame on page (for example in
<iframe>) it duplicates entry in history.
Instead of using QWebPage and then loading the whole page in order to
get icon, it is now using own IconFetcher class.
It simply download page, looks for <link rel=shortcut and downloads icon
from here. If no <link rel=shortcut is present, the downloading standard
favicon.ico from base directory.
Finally added support to manage search engines. You can add search
engines from sites that supports opensearch standard, but you can also
add them manually.
There is also possibility to specify shortcuts for quickly searching in
location bar on your favourite engines.
