0.7.7
2010-05-12 16:25:13

You can grab the 0.7.7 release from the download page.

Another round of bugfixes. This one tackles some annoyances like occasionally getting an item with a link with characters that are both not URL-encoded and not compatible with your system locale. No symptoms other than the link just wouldn't open, which is crappy.

Some exception stuff has been cleaned up, and set_filter and friends now work properly when given None as the argument.

The most noticeable change, if you weren't suffering from the previous bugs, is that the cursor behavior is now configurable. For once I actually completed the official documentation before the release, so you can read about it here.

If you want to return to the <0.7.7 default scroll behavior, you can add this line to your config:

cursor_edge = 0

To cause the interface to scroll at the very edge of the screen, instead of the new default behavior with a scroll margin of 5 lines.

Have fun! Submit bugs!
