Nyxt 2 Pre-release 4

We are happy to announce the fourth 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:

• Overhauled status area view to resemble powerline.

  • Hold shift to scroll the tabs horizontally.

• New dark-mode (experimental).

• New universal package manager interface.

  Install, uninstall, describe packages, list their files, change generations, etc. See the various *-package-* and *-generation-* commands.

  • Currently only interfaces the Guix package manager.

  • Help to implement additional backends is welcome!

• New nowebgl-mode.

• New nyxt-init-file helper to derive a file name relative to the Nyxt configuration folder.

• No longer ask to restore session when there is none.

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 :-)
