luakit - browser framework

Summary of changes in 2011.07.22:

• Force webview.uri to return "about:blank" if uri property NULL or an empty string.
• Store private webview instance data in a private struct again.
• Add luaH_checkwebview function to check for webview widget type.
• Add luaH_checkwvdata macro to check for webview widget and return the widgets private data struct.
• Check callback type in luaH_webview_register_function.
• Bugfix: Don't perform bitwise operations on the WEBVIEW_LOAD_* enums.
• Prevent stack leaks in create_web_view_cb by checking signal return type correctly.
• Use hash table iterator to push webview frames table.
• Add more doxygen comments.
• Merge l_exec function into the luaH_luakit_exec function.
• Bugfix: missing luaH_object_unref call in luaH_luakit_idle_remove.
• Bugfix: don't use g_utf8_strlen to get the selection text length (was truncating selection text when it contained unicode characters).
• Raise "property::position" when cursor moves in entry widget.
• Add optional move_cursor hook to all modes.
• Refactor of completion lib to allow history completion (and more in the future).
• Bugfix: if gtk_main_level() == 0 then call exit directly.
• Bugfix: missing return keyword causing module sigfuncs to not return any values.
• Add more readline bindings to command mode (del-backward-char & del-forward-char).
• Add libunique bindings which allow us to open links in running instances (as new tabs).
• Add -U,--nounique launch options to prevent the libunique bindings being loaded (for a single instance session).
• Add window:set_screen(GdkScreen) function to move luakit between screens. Used in conjunction with libunique to move luakit to the current screen when opening links in running instances.
• Allow compiling luakit without libunique bindings with make WITH_UNIQUE=0.
• key_press_cb not checking if user returned true/false to catch event.
• Catch "scroll-event" signal to bind keys to mousewheel movements (mouse buttons 4 to 7).
• Bugfix: fix typo causing segfault in luaH_widget_get_child.
• Bugfix: remove sentinel row in widget constructor table (was causing segfaults if widget name doesn't exist).
• Write a proper README file with full list of compile options & etc.
• Bugfix: cookies not working on 32 bit systems due to incorrect string format option (%d -> %.0f).
• Add [count]zz binding for normal absolute percent zoom and [count]zZ for full content absolute zoom. Default values are 100% so they can still be used to reset the zoom level.
• Add window:maximize(), :unmaximise(), :fullscreen(), :unfullscreen() window methods.
• Add window.decorated property for window managers with weird defaults (hides the resize triangle at the bottom right of the window).
• Bugfix: download timer running endlessly after all downloads finished.
• Make cookie module raise an "accept-cookie" signal to allow other libs to block cookies.
• Add cookie_blocking lib which blocks cookies by domain according to the users $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luakit/cookie.whitelist and cookie.blacklist files (supports glob patterns).
• yt now yanks webview title not window title (window title gets truncated when too long).
• Add Ctrl+MouseWheelUp/MouseWheelDown zoom bindings.
• Add NoScript module which allows you to toggle blocking of scripts and or plugins on a per-domain basis with ,ts & ,tp. Use ,tr to remove rules for the current domain.
• Bugfix: fixed typo preventing following from within frames.
• Add Shift+MouseWheelUp/MouseWheelDown horizontal scrolling binds.
• Add socket widget (wrapper around GtkSocket object) which allows embedding external applications which support the XEmbed protocol.
• Bugfix: fixed typo causing luakit crash when opening a file.
• Large refactor of follow module into separate files and in introduction of "following styles" which allow the user to have complete control over how the hint labels are generated.
• Add :userscripts function to list all installed userscripts and :userscriptinstall to install a userscript if currently viewing a .user.js file.

Summary of changes in 2011.05.06:

• Luakit builds on FreeBSD out of the box (removed install -D .. usage in the Makefile).
• Begun documenting the C source code with doxygen. If you have doxygen & graphvis installed run `make doc` to build the documentation (html only by default). View the online version here.
• Fix bug in cookie code (not setting session cookies correctly).
• luakit.set_selection(..) syntax changed from set_selection(text [, selection]) to set_selection([selection,] text).
• luakit.uri_encode(..) now takes a second argument of allowed characters to leave unescaped in the string to be encoded. See g_uri_escape_string.
• Similarly the luakit.uri_decode(..) takes a second argument of illegal characters which should not appear in the unescaped string. If illegal characters are found the uri_decode function returns nil. See g_uri_unescape_string.
• Refactor luakit.spawn(..) to not leak memory or leave items on the stack on error.
• Verbose errors on cookie creation failure.
• Fix build errors on Archlinux for people updating to libwebkit-1.4
• Remove need for the callback_data struct in clib/sqlite3.c. Do the row counting in the main sqlite3_t struct.
• If unable to determine uri domain name (in the case of non-http uris) use "all" so that domain properties continue to work (or rather reset).
• s/luakit_t globalconf/globalconf_t globalconf/
• Ignore keys for 250ms after a successful follow to prevent stray keys from activating other binds. The exact delay can be configured by placing follow.ignore_delay = 500 in your rc.lua where 500 is the new ignore delay in milliseconds. To disable all key ignoring set the delay to 0.
• Another follow.lua refactor to use more standards compliant JavaScript code. Following was failing on sites which enforce non-quirks mode (I.e. http://rsget.pl/).

Summary of changes in 2011.05.06-r1:

• Allow overriding of the MANPREFIX and DOCDIR Makefile variables from the shell while each maintains the correct DESTDIR install prefix (for packagers).
• Fixed the right-click lock X input bug present in webkit-gtk >= 1.4 versions. We needed to connect to the "unrealize" GtkMenu signal and then destroy all context menu items we created before the menu items and sub-menus are un-realized.
• Rename luaH_next to luaH_mtnext to prevent linker errors on some systems (luaH_next is a symbol in liblua.so).
• Do not add history items when "enable-private-browsing" webview property set.
• Need the --export-dynamic linker option on some systems otherwise luakit crashes with symbol reference errors when loading dynamically linked lua modules (I.e. lfs.so from luafilesystem).

Summary of changes since 2011.04.04:

• Use string.wlen function to check key length (now allows unicode characters in the command buffer)
• lousy.signal.setup has a second argument for setting up signals on modules. Calling module functions like class methods is no longer required (I.e. module:add_signal becomes module.add_signal). All current usages updated.
• Use LUA_CLASS_FUNCS(..) in luakit & soup clibs to create the luaH_{soup,luakit}_emit_signal, add_signal and remove_signal functions.
• Add luakit.idle_add & luakit.idle_remove wrappers around glib g_idle_add and g_idle_remove_by_data functions. Useful for deferring function exection to after GUI updates and or other hi-priority events. For example: wrapping heavy functions in coroutines and yielding several times during their execution allows the GUI to update regularly and not lock up. See it in action here: lib/db_clean.lua
• Fix serious memory leak in the luaH_cookiejar_add_cookies function whereby every cookie that is inserted into the LuakitCookieJar was duplicated unnecessarily and the original not freed.
• Fix minor memory leak in luaH_label_newindex where pango font description structs weren't being freed with the pango_font_description_free function.
• Show "Opening..." when attempting to open download at luakit://downloads
• Fixed uninitialized GError pointer that caused segfalts when opening downloads.

Changes in 2011.04.13-r1:

• LuaJIT still requires LC_NUMERIC=C to load luakit scripts in some locales.

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))

• 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

• Proxy manager module added which also adds several proxy related commands.
• Add more vim-like scroll related binds: ^, $ and [count]gg.
• Added javascript userscript support.
• Make command completion use the new menu widget (it works really well!).
