Nyxt 2 Pre-release 3

We are happy to announce the third pre-release of Nyxt version 2.0.0. If you missed the previous pre-release announcement, see here.

Nyxt 2 is a massive overhaul of the Nyxt 1 series. A lot of effort has been geared towards improving the code quality under the hood which should reflect on the overall user experience with better performance, increased stability and better accessibility.

This is a test release for everyone to try out before the final release. It contains experimental features and some parts are still unfinished. Please feel free to share your feedback on our GitHub issue tracker!

Notable highlights:

• New import-bookmarks-from-html command. Easily import your bookmarks from other browsers into Nyxt. (Thanks to @kssytsrk via GitHub.)

• New reduce-tracking-mode. Reduce your online fingerprint.

• New reduce-to-buffer command deletes buffers and lists them on a page. Useful for offloading inactive buffers and sending/saving a group of buffers.

• New toggle-toolbars command hides/shows the visibility of the status area and the echo area.

• New execute-extended-command command. You can now execute commands and interactively supply required, optional, and keyword parameters.

• download-hint-url now supports multiple selections. That means that you can download a set of links at once.

• Quicklisp-based Lisp package manager. See the list-systems, load-system and add-distribution commands.

• New input-edit-mode. You can now use commands like cursor-forwards-word in a HTML input buffer via input-edit-mode.

• Added many bookmarklets (Javascripts utilities):

  • color-internal-external-links

  • urls-as-link-text

  • hide-visited-urls

  • toggle-checkboxes

  • view-password-field-contents

  • show-hidden-form-elements

  • enlarge-textareas

  • show-textbox-character-count

  • hue-shift-positive

  • hue-shift-negative

For the complete change list, please consult the CHANGELOG.org file.

We hope you enjoy these new features, and that they help make you more productive. Thanks for reading :-)
