17 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op Telescope is written entirely for fun, as a hobbystic project in my free time. As such, it lacks a ton of features you’ll find in more mature Gemini browsers, but it also has some unique ones.

21 cc9bf8f2 2021-11-05 op The UI is strongly inspired from Emacs and W3M, so you’ll find some familiar concepts, such as the minibuffer or the tabline, and the default keybindigs also reflect this, but care has been taken to add keys familiar for vi and CUA users too.

43 e2521d9a 2024-02-23 op Telescope depends are ncursesw, libtls or libretls, and pkg-config. libgrapheme is also needed, although there's a bundled copy. When building from a git checkout, yacc (or bison) is also needed.

88 1a7a3e45 2024-02-27 op Note to packagers: starting from this release, Telescope doesn't depend on libevent anymore, and optionally depends on libgrapheme.
90 d9bfe90a 2022-01-13 op ### New features
92 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Initial client certificate support.
93 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Use libgrapheme for text reflowing: improves the word-wrapping for languages that don't use latin characters.
94 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * New commands for quick navigation: `up', `root' and `home' bound to "g u", "g r" and "g h" respectively.
95 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Added a `search' command to quickly consult a search engine, as well as the `default-search-engine' option.
96 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Added `load-url-use-heuristic' configuration option.
97 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Added `default-protocol' configuration option.
98 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Added telescope-identity(1) to create, delete and manage client certificates.
100 d9bfe90a 2022-01-13 op ### Improvements
102 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Implemented a new URI parser: this will allow in the future to support IRIs too.
103 e2521d9a 2024-02-23 op * Allow configuration options to be booleans ("true" and "false") and change a few options where it made sense. The old settings with 0 and 1 will continue to work for some time.
104 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Removed the dependency on libevent: Telescope now uses a custom built-in event loop.
105 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Rework the history management: the code is cleaner and requires less memory.
106 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Reduced the amount of memory needed for rendering the pages by roughly 50%.
107 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Landlock sandboxing is enabled again on Linux.
108 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Update data/emoji.txt to UNICODE 15.0.
110 99a9bb37 2022-05-25 op ### Bug Fixes
112 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Fixed wrapping of link lines.
113 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Fixed `bookmark-page' bogus error message.
114 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Fixed caching of finger pages too.
115 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Save to the persistent history finger:// and gopher:// URLs as well.
116 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Fixed handling of gopher selectors with spaces and other "funny" characters.
117 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Improved handling of connect(2) failures, as well as error reporting.
118 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Changed the default colours for patch/diff to magenta and cyan.
119 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Updated the link to the official gemini project capsule in about:new.
120 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Corrected and extended about:license.
122 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op ### Breaking changes
124 e4bf5d18 2024-02-22 op * Removed the -C/--colours flag: telescope is not a colour picker.
