lagrange

Localization

• Added the first set of UI translations: Chinese (Simplified, Traditional), Finnish, Russian, and Spanish. Many thanks to the translators!
• Added page content translation using a LibreTranslate instance running on xlt.skyjake.fi. This is somewhat experimental and may occasionally mess up Gemtext markup. Expect long pages to be quite slow to translate (more than a minute).

Resources

• Added Noto Sans CJK (Simplified Chinese) font.
• Added Noto Sans Arabic font. Note that right-to-left/bidirectional text rendering is not implemented yet.
• Added "about:about" that lists all the available "about:" pages.

Browsing

• Alt text is shown when hovering over a preformatted block.
• Clicking on a preformatted block collapses it, leaving only the alt text.
• Added option to collapse all preformatted blocks on page load.
• A server certificate can also be verified by Certificate Authorities. When "CA file" and/or "CA path" are set in Preferences, CA verification will mark a certificate as trusted.
• Relaxed TOFU certificate checking when it comes to domain names: domain.tld in a certificate is implicitly considered to also mean *.domain.tld.
• Fixed handling of IDNs when the user sets a server certificate as trusted via the UI.
• Fixed handling of unknown URI schemes. Previously they were forcefully converted to absolute URIs, breaking them.

Page content and rendering

• Color adjustments to the "Colorful Dark", "Colorful Light", and "Gray" themes. "Gray" looks different in dark and light UI modes.
• Spacing of bullet lists vs. link lists is more consistent.
• Links are shown in bold, and tinted with the page theme color for more coherent appearance.
• Custom link icons: Gemini links whose destination is on the same domain use as icon the Emoji or other pictograph at the start of the link label. (For example, see Astrobotany menus.)
• Added option to wrap lines in plain text files. This is on by default because there is no horizontal scrolling for plain text.
• Large images are downscaled to an appropriate size for presentation.
• Improved font glyph caching to reduce stuttering during scrolling. All required glyphs are cached after a page load finishes. This allows more efficient copying of glyphs as the operations can be batched.
• Larger content buffers for scrolling, reducing need to redraw content.
• Gopher: Handling the 'h' line type.
• Fixed minor issues with word wrapping.
• Fixed minor blending artifacts with the current heading shown on the right side of the page.

User interface

• Improved event handling to support touch screens on any platform (if supported by SDL).
• UI scaling factor is applied immediately when closing Preferences. Restarting is no longer necessary.
• Window rescaled automatically when moving it to a display with a different DPI.
• Added unread feed entry count to the sidebar.
• Added a context menu for toggling sidebars. The menu appears when right-clicking on the navbar or on the sidebar tab buttons.
• Double/triple click selection modes. Double click and drag will select by word, triple click by paragraph.
• Popup menus have icons for items to make it faster to find the item you're looking for.
• Soft shadows for popup menus.
• Scrollbars fade away on macOS/iOS and dim on other platforms.
• Reload button moved into the URL field.
• Narrow URL input fields will not display the default "gemini" scheme.
• Domain name is highlighted in URL fields.
• Added a cut/copy/paste context menu to input fields.
• Added an "Import..." button to the empty Identities sidebar.
• Preferences dialog was partially reorganized for clarity.
• Tabs in Preferences look the same as tabs in the sidebar.
• Cleaner appearance for unread feed items in the sidebar.
• Dialog buttons show the corresponding shortcut key.
• Fixed background activity indicators overlapping each other.
• Fixed glitches when widgets extend beyond the left edge of the window.
• Fixed use of plurals in UI strings, enabling support for three or more plural forms.

Keybindings

• Default page scroll keybindings changed: PageUp/Down scroll a whole page, and Space/Shift+Space scrolls half a page. If you're changed these bindings, note that they will be reset to defaults.
• Added keybinding for subscribing to a page.
• Keyboard modifiers can be remapped using the modmap.txt configuration file.
• Caps Lock can be used as a modifier key.
• Internet hot keys (if present on a keyboard) can be used to navigate back/forward and reload the page.

Command line use

• Added conventional --help, --version options.
• A previously started instance can be controlled with command line options.
• --list-tab-urls prints a list of the currently open URLs in the running instance.

Bug fixes

• Only one instance of Lagrange is allowed to run per user directory. This prevents instances from overwriting each other's data.
• Fixed use of multiple search terms for quick lookup.
• Fixed handling of multiple feeds having an entry with the same URL.
• Fixed percent-decoding of URLs on the command line and coming in via system URL handlers.

New features

• Atom feed subscriptions: Atom XML documents are automatically converted to Gemini feed index pages. This is a built-in version of the Atom-to-Gemini example on the Help page.
• Inline downloads: right-click on any link that is openable inside Lagrange and select "Download Linked File".
• Editable bookmark icons: use your favorite Unicode character as the symbol to represent a bookmarked site.
• Searching via URL field: non-URL text entered in the field is passed onto the configured search query URL (Preferences > Network). An indicator is shown if a query will take place.
• Tab auto-reloading: configure a reloading interval using the page context menu ("Set Auto-Reload..."). Auto-reloading is part of the persistent state of the tab.
• "Iosevka" and "Source Sans Pro" (the UI font) can be used as heading and body fonts.
• User preference for aligning all pages to the top of the window.
• Keybinding (F11) for toggling fullscreen mode. On macOS, the shortcut is ⌃⌘F as before.
• Keybinding for finding text on page.

UI design

• Enhanced navbar: adjusted spacing, URL field has a maximum width, tab titles have less pronounced borders.
• Improved sidebar appearance: bold subheadings, larger feed icons, adjusted spacing, background color.
• Font consistency: all UI elements use the same font (i.e., no more monospace input fields).
• Added setting for UI accent color (teal, orange).
• General fine-tuning of the color palette.
• Dialog buttons are aligned to the right edge, leaving room for additional action buttons on the left.
• Page Information button is embedded in the URL field.
• Page Information dialog is attached to its button.
• Site icons use a different color in tab titles for visual distinction.
• Fade background behind modal dialogs.
• Responsive page margins.
• Windows: Added a custom window frame to replace the default Windows one. This looks nicer but does not behave exactly like a native window frame. Added a setting to Preferences for switching back to the default frame.

Other changes

• Help is opened on first run instead of the "About Lagrange" page to make it easier to discover important Gemini links like the FAQ.
• "Go to Root" respects a user name found in the URL. One can still "Go to Parent" to get above the user level.
• Feed entries are sorted by refresh time if they are published on the same date.
• Don't show future-dated feed entries in Feeds.

• Added option to load inline images when pressing Space or ↓ for a more focused reading experience — just keep tapping a single key to proceed. If an image link is visible, it will be loaded instead of scrolling. This option is disabled by default.

• Added an option to use a proxy server for Gemini requests.
• Added a new keyboard link navigation mode focusing on the home row keys. The default keybinding for this is F.

• Added a Window tab in the Preferences dialog; moved some of the settings around for better organization.
• Improved page search visualization: if the match is inside a link URL, the link icon is now highlighted. Previously these matches were not visualized in any way.
