(www.example.com?one=1&two=2) to send the wrong arguments
when clicked on the qute://history page (boo#1100968,
CVE-2018-1000559).
* Crash when opening a PDF page with PDF.js enabled
(on QtWebKit), but no PDF.js installed.

the pattern.
+ New with config.pattern('...') as p: context manager for
config.py to use the shorthand syntax with a pattern.
+ New tsh keybinding to toggle scripts for the current host.
With a capital S, the toggle is saved. With a capital H,
subdomains are included. With u instead of h, the exact
current URL is used.

URLs referenced in prompts.
* The hostblock_blame script which was removed in v1.0 was
updated for the new config and re-added.

* Complete refactoring of key input handling, with various
effects:
+ emacs-like keychains such as <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-C> can now be
bound.

matching, but similar functionality will be added in
Qt 5.11.
+ Support for @requires
+ Support for the GreaseMonkey 4.0 API

shown correctly when filtering them in the completion.
* :bookmark-add "" foo can now be used to save the current URL
with a custom title.

+ New dependency on the attrs project (packaged as
python-attr in some distributions).
+ The depedency on PyOpenGL (when using QtWebEngine) got
removed. Note that PyQt5.QtOpenGL is still a dependency.
+ PyQt5.QtOpenGL is now always required, even with QtWebKit.
* The QtWebEngine backend is now used by default. Note this
means that QtWebEngine now should be a required dependency, and
QtWebKit (if new enough) should be changed to an optional
dependency.
* Completely rewritten configuration system which ignores the
old config file. See link:qute://help/configuring.html[] for
details.
* Various documentation files got moved to the doc/ subfolder;
qutebrowser.desktop got moved to misc/.

complete the entire browsing history. The default for
completion.web_history_max_items got changed to -1 (unlimited).
If the completion is too slow on your machine, try setting it to
a few 1000 items.
Added:
* QtWebEngine: Spell checking support, see the
spellcheck.languages setting.
* New qt.args setting to pass additional arguments to
Qt/Chromium.
* New backend setting to select the backend to use. Together
with the previous setting, this should make most wrapper
scripts unnecessary.

* Support for PAC (proxy autoconfig) with QtWebKit
* Hints are now drawn natively in Qt instead of using web elements. This has a
few implications for users:
The hints -> opacity setting does not exist anymore, but you can use
rgba(r, g, b, alpha) colors instead for colors -> hints.bg.
The hints -> font setting is not affected by
fonts -> web-family-fixed anymore. Thus, a transformer got added to
change Monospace to ${_monospace}.
Gradients in hint colors can now be configured by using qlineargradient
and friends instead of -webkit-gradient. The most common cases get
migrated automatically, but if you drastically changed the defaults,
you'll need to manually adjust your config.
Styling hints by styling qutehint elements in user-stylesheet was
never officially supported and does not work anymore.
Hints are now not affected by the page's stylesheet or zoom anymore.
* :bookmark-add now has a --toggle flag which deletes the bookmark if it
already exists.
* :bookmark-load now has a --delete flag which deletes the bookmark after
loading it.
* :open now also accepts quickmark names instead of URLs
* :tab-move now optionally takes an index for absolute moving.
* Commands taking either an argument or a count (like :zoom or :tab-focus)
now prefer the count instead of showing an error message.
* :open now has an --implicit argument to treat the opened tab as implicit
(i.e. to open it at the position it would be opened if it was a clicked link)
* :download-open and :prompt-open-download now have an optional cmdline
argument to pass a commandline to open the download with.
* :yank now has a position argument to select what to yank instead of using
flags.
* Replacements like {url} can now also be used in the middle of an argument.
* Consequently, commands taking another command (:later, :repeat and
:bind) now don't immediately evaluate variables.
* Tab titles in the :buffer completion now update correctly when a page's
title is changed via javascript.
* :hint now has a --mode <mode> flag to override the hint mode configured
using the hints -> mode setting.
* With new-instance-open-target set to a tab option, the tab is now opened in
the most recently focused (instead of the last opened) window. This can be
configured with the new new-instance-open-target.window setting.
* It can also be set to last-visible to show the pages in the most recently
visible window, or first-opened to use the first (oldest) available window.
* Word hints now are more clever about getting the element text from some elements.
* Completions for :help and :bind now also show hidden commands
* The :buffer completion now also filters using the first column (id).
* :undo has been improved to reopen tabs at the position they were closed.
* :navigate now takes a count for up/increment/decrement.
* The hints -> auto-follow setting now can be set to
always/full-match/unique-match/never to more precisely control when
hints should be followed automatically.
* Counts can now be used with special keybindings (e.g. with modifiers).
This was already implemented for v0.7.0 originally, but got reverted because
it caused some issues and then never re-applied.
* Sending a command to an existing instance (via "qutebrowser :reload") now
doesn't mark it as urgent anymore.
* tabs -> title-format now treats an empty string as valid.
* Bindings for :, / and ? are now configured explicitly and not hardcoded
anymore.
* The completion -> show setting can now be set to always, auto or
never.
* :open-editor can now be used in any mode.
* Lots of improvements to and bugfixes for the QtWebEngine backend, such as
working hints. However, using qutebrowser directly from git is still advised
when using --backend webengine.
content -> javascript-can-open-windows got renamed to
javascript-can-open-windows-automatically.
* :prompt-accept now optionally accepts a value which overrides the one
entered in the input box. yes and no can be used as values for yes/no
questions.
* The new --qt-arg and --qt-flag arguments can be used to pass
arguments/flags to Qt's commandline.
* Error/warning/info messages are now shown stacked above the statusbar.
* This also added various new settings:
colors -> messages.fg.error (renamed from statusbar.fg.error)
colors -> messages.bg.error (renamed from statusbar.bg.error)
colors -> messages.border.error
colors -> messages.fg.warning (renamed from statusbar.fg.warning)
colors -> messages.bg.warning (renamed from statusbar.bg.warning)
colors -> messages.border.warning
colors -> messages.fg.info
colors -> messages.bg.info
colors -> messages.border.info
fonts -> messages.error
fonts -> messages.warning
fonts -> messages.info

* :spawn/userscripts now show a nicer error when a script wasn't found
* Various functionality now works when javascript is disabled with QtWebKit
* Various commands/settings taking left/right/previous arguments now take
prev/next/last-used to remove ambiguity.
* The ui -> user-stylesheet setting now only takes filenames, not CSS snippets
* ui -> window-title-format now has a new {backend} replacement
* :hint has a new --add-history argument to add the URL to the history for
yank/spawn targets.
* :set now cycles through values if more than one argument is given.
* :open now opens default-page without an URL even without -t/-b/-w given.
* The :paste command got deprecated as :open with {clipboard} and
{primary} can be used instead.
* The :paste-primary command got deprecated as :insert-text {primary} can
be used instead.
* The :prompt-yes and :prompt-no commands got deprecated as
:prompt-accept yes and :prompt-accept no can be used instead.
* The :yank-selected command got merged into :yank as :yank selection
and thus removed.
* The :completion-item-prev and :completion-item-next commands got merged
into a new :completion-focus {prev,next} command and thus removed.
* The ui -> hide-mouse-cursor setting since it was completely broken and
nobody seemed to care.
* The hints -> opacity setting - see the "Changed" section for details.
* The completion -> auto-open setting got merged into completion -> show and
thus removed.
* All --qt-* arguments got replaced by --qt-arg and --qt-flag and thus
removed.
* The -c/--confdir, --datadir and --cachedir arguments got removed, as
- -basedir should be sufficient.

* The tabbar now displays correctly with the Adwaita Qt theme
* The default sk keybinding now sets the commandline to :bind correctly
* Fixed crash when closing a window without focusing it
* Fixed general -> private-browsing not being set correctly until a restart
(which caused e.g. local storage to be enabled).

When hinting input fields (:t), also consider input elements without a type.
* Fixed crash when opening an invalid URL with a percent-encoded and a real @ in it
