New/changed in v1.14

• A bookmark folder can be opened in new tabs, in the same window or a new one, one tab per bookmark.
• Pinned bookmark identities. A simpler way to use identities. When the "Pinned identity" property is set on a bookmark, opening the bookmark causes the selected identity to be "pinned" to the tab: while you stay on the same site, the identity remains in use when opening links. However, when opening a link to another site, a new tab gets opened. (The old way of per-URL identities is still available, too.)
• New identities can be created for use in the current directory (as opposed to domain or page).
• Option --dump (-d) to print contents of URLs/paths to stdout. Metadata is printed to stderr.
• Option --dump-identity (-I) selects the identity to use with --dump.
• Option --replace-tab URL opens a URL, replacing contents of the active tab.
• Option --user DIR (-U) to set the directory where user data is stored.
• When creating new identities, make it clearer what the scope of usage will be. The UI actions explicitly say "New Identity for Domain" when the default usage will be the entire domain.
• URLs opened via system-level handlers always open a new tab, like URLs opened via the command line.
• MIME types of many new file extensions are recognized (courtesy of John Cowan).
• The regular expression library PCRE2 is preferred over PCRE, if available. The older library is in maintenance mode.
• Updated UI translations.

• Possible workaround for an issue with mouse hover autoscrolling on an external displays.

• macOS: Adjusted idle UI refresh rate when using the Metal backend, to avoid stutters.

• Fixed crash when determining the name of a ZIP file from a URL.
• Fixed misparsing of URL to form the name of a downloaded file (%23 decoded too early).

• TUI: Fixed build-tui.sh so it doesn't expect the_Foundation to be preinstalled.

• Fixed failure to restore the selected fonts at launch.
• Fixed window state being reset when quitting the app by closing the last window. (No such problem was occurring when quitting via menu or Ctrl+Q.)

• Fixed crash when opening Preferences. The text renderer had problems with font lookup.

New features:

• Curses-based clagrange for running the app in the terminal. This is a complete TUI port of the original GUI version including, e.g., UI animations, smooth scrolling, and split view mode. clagrange has separate preferences, UI state, and key bindings but the rest of the runtime files are shared with the GUI version.
• Build option ENABLE_TUI: build a text mode version of the app so it can be run in the terminal. Enabling this produces an executable called clagrange that is not linked with SDL.
• URL field indicator 📌 that shows if there's a bookmark for the current page. Clicking on the indicator opens the Add/Edit Bookmark dialog.

• Option to view Markdown as source or as a Gemtext conversion (default: as source).

Changes and enhancements:

• Improved UI keyboard navigation. The sidebar and all widgets in dialogs are accessible via Tab cycling, and new shortcuts have been added for opening menus. Menu items and lists are cursor-navigable. Opening the sidebar automatically gives it keyboard focus.
• When bookmarking a page, show the Edit Bookmark dialog if there's already a bookmark for the URL. The Edit Bookmark dialog has a new Duplicate button for actually making a duplicate bookmark.
• Markdown documents support horizontal rules.
• TUI: Zoom controls resize the open sidebar (left sidebar if both visible).
• macOS: Keep app running even after all windows are closed. Clicking on the dock icon opens a new window.

Fixes:

• Added new UI accent colors: Red, Green, Blue, Gray.

Changes and enhancements:

• Roboto is the new default content/UI font, except on Windows where Segoe UI is the default font.

• UI uses only one accent color at a time.
• Theme palette tuning: adjusted generated palettes of Colorful Dark/Light, improved the Sepia theme, and added a dark mode Sepia variant.
