Added by Mason Larobina almost 2 years ago

Summary of changes from 2025.08.13 to 2010.08.30:

  • Removed libxdg-basedir dependency, using glibs g_get_user_{config,data,cache}_dir() functions instead.
  • Add DEVELOPMENT_PATHS flag to toggle the adding of relative locations to the lua package.path.
  • Set default download dir to $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR or $HOME/downloads.
  • Change into insert mode when clicking on an input element.
  • Remove callbacks on deprecated webview signals (E.g. "load-property-update", "load-status", "load-finished" & etc).
  • Use hash table lookup for webview widget properties.
  • Add webview widget :reload() method.
  • Renamed luakit.selection() to luakit.get_selection(..) and added new luakit.set_selection(..).
  • Add button release signals.
  • Add mouse bindings with lousy.bind.but({mods}, num, func).
  • Add luakit.get_special_dir(atom) wrapper around glibs g_get_user_special_dir(atom).
  • Use gobject "signal::notify" signal for "property::name" signals.
  • Enable middle-click closing of tabs.
  • Add luakit.spawn(cmd) and luakit.spawn_sync(cmd) functions.
  • Add scroll page function and vi-like page scrolling bindings.
  • Add webkit webview :get_view_source() & :set_view_source(..) methods.
  • Add formfiller.lua (ported from uzbl grodzik!). This version supports multiple-profiles and autosubmitting forms.
  • Add per-domain webview properties which are modified in globals.lua.
  • Add luakit.webkit_{major,minor,micro}_version properties.
  • Custom luakit useragent.
  • Handle webkit "create-web-view" signal which fixes "Open in new window" context menu item.
  • Make heavy use of luaL_argerror in widget functions.
  • Add zooming functions & binds.
  • Add "O" and "T" binds which do the exact same as "o" & "t" but provide the current uri as the uri argument.
  • Use portable sigaction instead of signal & add -std=gnu99 to the Makefile.
  • Add bookmarks lib which is able to generate html output.
  • Build api docs with the make apidoc make target using the luadoc command.
  • Split the large rc.lua into several smaller files: webview.lua, window.lua, binds.lua, globals.lua, modes.lua, theme.lua & rc.lua.
  • Created luakit vim syntax which highlights javascript between [=[ & ]=] regions, html between [==[ & ]==] regions and css between [===[ & ]===] regions.
  • Add window closing function & binds.
  • Add "resource-request-started" callback and lua signal for webview widgets.
  • Add "populate-popup" signal which can build a context menu from a returned table.
  • Add & install extras/luakit.desktop file and icon extras/luakit.png.
  • Add several more common widget box/container methods.
  • Add per-domain cookie acceptance policies.
  • Use help2man to build manpage for luakit.
  • Make --help and --version work without X.
  • Make all uris which point to relative paths absolute paths (allows loading of local resources like images).
  • Track current uri manually so that on error "T" & "O" binds allow you to edit the failed uri.
  • Add ssl trusted widget which reads "(trust)" on valid website certificate, "(notrust)" on invalid certificate & "(nocheck)" if no ca-file was used to check the connection.
  • Add simple key name mapping table (mainly for ISO_Left_Tab -> Tab).
  • All mode actions, webview signal handlers, window signal handlers, webview methods and window methods can be replaced with custom functions without editing window.lua, webview.lua or mode.lua. Simply make some changes in a mine.lua and add require "mine" to your rc.lua.
  • Add gtk label :set_width(chars) widget method which is used to make all tablabels the same width.
  • Several bug fixes.

Liked the way Green GT is working for the future electric cars, but are they more environment friendly? With the depletion in non renewable resources in next coming 15-20 years, can we have this as an option to run on renewable energy... Also, how safe are these to drive on roads in US. Does this involve any safety driving rules for the drivers and help them drive defensively. ppsc
