luakit release 2026.04.04

Summary of changes since 2010.12.25-r2
Added by Mason Larobina over 1 year ago

Summary of changes since 2010.12.25-r2:

  • All "chrome" pages now use the luakit:// scheme
  • Bookmarks now accessed via luakit://bookmarks
  • Moved bookmark binds into lib/bookmarks.lua
  • Pass WebKitHitTestResult to every webview button signal (to detect clicking on link, image, media, selection or editable elements (or a combination thereof))
  • Now possible to detect double clicking on GTK widgets or in the webview
  • The "form-active" & "root-active" signals are now raised in lua (previously the webview button callback functions)
  • Move all mouse binds to "all" mode
  • Ignore middle clicks in editable elements (thanks to the button signal context table)
  • Revert fancy domain/ip matching in search_open window method (doesn't play nice unicode characters). Now the function checks for a single argument with '.' or '/' characters (to detect a uri)
  • Add sqlite3 library which allows you to open, create and or query sqlite3 databases from lua
  • Save history with sqlite3 databases
  • View history via luakit://history (with search & pagination support)
  • Add helper method w:activate() which simulates an Enter press in the command input bar
  • Update domain property example for user stylesheets (needs a file:// for local resources)
  • Bug fixes in lib/follow.lua (non-visible labels in some locales and placing labels outside the viewport)
  • Add :bookmarks command to open luakit://bookmarks
  • Re-factored lib/follow.lua JavaScript code to make it easier to debug
  • Move the label making function outside of the JavaScript in lib/follow.lua so that users can write custom functions to modify the label order, sorting and or text
  • Add webview method to return a table of light userdata (pointers) to the currently visible frames in the webview (to allow us to execute JavaScript on any specific frame and allows reliable link hinting across frames)
  • Add 0 and $ vim-like scrolling binds
  • Fix Makefile partial building issue
  • Add optional proxy indicator widget to status bar (integrated with lib/proxy.lua)
  • Fixed webkit downloads to include referrer (and cookie headers) when making download request
  • Open link in new background tab when Control clicked
  • Parse luakit startup uris with search_open function (allows luakit "imdb Patrick Stewart")
  • Bugfix: found package module was left on lua stack after lua environment init
  • Indicate failed search with red input bar (changeable in users theme)
  • Stop timers when downloads not running
  • Merge speed_timer & status_timer in lib/downloads.lua
  • Fixed clearing of hints on navigate
  • Remove deprecated Lua 5.0 argument syntax in lousy.util.join
  • Add soup library which allows you to add cookies directly into the custom LuakitCookieJar and attach signals to update a cookie database when new cookies are added or deleted from the jar. The second aspect of the soup library is it's authentication signals and auth dialog
  • Modifications made to the formfiller script which allows saving/loading of http authentication credentials
  • Modified signal_object_emit function to allow signals to return values
  • Fixed bug in luaH_object_emit_signal which cause premature exiting of signal callback executing when nret was 0
  • Add search_open case for about:blank
  • Add lua mode (I.e. a cut down lua code prompt, so no multi-line input or result printing in the window yet)
  • Move common GObject property setting/getting code into common/property.c
  • The lib/cookies.lua library which saves all cookies in a sqlite3 database uses the mozilla cookies schema (if you so desire it you can use your firefox cookies in luakit or even share a cookies database between browsers)
  • Add :tabhistory menu to navigate (or open in new tabs/windows) the current tabs history
  • Add luakit.time() function to return nanosecond precision time (needed for cookie timestamps)
  • Move all libsoup properties in the webview properties table to a properties table in the soup library
  • Use pkg-config and conditional statements in the Makefile config to auto-detect the correct lua-5.1 spec-file name and check most dependencies are installed
  • Set correct file permissions on installed files (lua scripts don't need a +x)
  • Compile luakit with USE_LUAJIT=1 make option to use the Just-In-Time compiler for Lua. Increases performance on lua-bound operations by a large amount. See http://luajit.org and http://luajit.org/performance.html for more information about LuaJIT
  • Add lousy.util.table.values to clone a table with all values as array items
  • Load hosts from /etc/hosts for use by search_open
  • Check for file in filesystem in search_open
  • Add view:can_go_back() and view:can_go_forward() webview methods
  • Add a vimperator-like history position indicator in the statusbar
  • Add two lib/follow.lua label making options: reverse labels & sort labels (after reverse). In some cases reversed labels can equate to less key presses
  • Refactor clib/download.c to return meaningful download error messages
  • Add options to disable /etc/hosts loading or checking for filepaths in search_open
  • Make lousy.bind.match_* functions return false on no match
  • Make add_cmds(...) function a wrapper around add_binds("command", ...)
  • Ignore blank commands (not error)
  • Detect bangs in commands (I.e. :command! args) and set opts.bang to true when bang detected
  • Update binds to use bang syntax
  • w:close_win now emits "can-close" signal to check if it can close the last window (so far it will only prevent you from closing if downloads are running)
  • Make w.mode table immutable & get current mode name from w.mode.name
  • Add mode options "passthrough", "reset_on_focus" & "reset_on_navigation" which removes the need to check for mode options/features by mode name
  • Emit "root-active" signal on button release (fixes some bugs when clicking on links/buttons from insert mode and missing the button because the "-- INPUT --" prompt is hiding)
  • Possible fix for the opening two windows bug: forgot to return true in "new-window-decision" signal when opening new tab
  • Allow focus events to be caught
  • Use lua_toboolean to check signal return types (otherwise if a user returns a non-boolean type the lua error function will longjmp leaving the incorrect value on the stack)
  • Add lousy.uri module for parsing uris and converting uri query components into tables for easy getting/setting of "?a=b&c=d" options
  • Use cookie domain matching rules in domain props
  • Modify chrome rule patterns to match against host/path only (ignoring scheme as only luakit:// schemes will be checked)
  • Add lousy.util.table.copy which is similar to table.clone but it also copies the metatable (useful for cloning some class instances)
  • os.exists(path) returns path if found
  • Add luakit.dev_paths for use by lua scripts
  • Set window icon by default on all windows
  • Modify luakit.spawn to allow a callback function for when the process terminates (could be useful for external editing scripts)
  • Add missing luaH_object_gc calls in clib/download.c and clib/timer.c
  • Successfully made luakit more awesome
