2.25 - 2021-09-20

Lists below only mention user-visible changes, but the full list of contributors for this release also includes: Amrit Brar, noctux, and shenlebantongying.

Added

  • New elements to style with color command: title, hint-key, hint-keys-delimiter, hint-separator, and hint-description. If there is no style for one of those elements, the style of info is used instead. See "Configuring Colors" section in the docs (Alexander Batischev)
  • Podboat: show an error when a podcast can't be renamed (#545) (Kartikeya Gupta)

Changed

  • Bumped minimum supported Rust version to 1.51.0
  • Key hints (at the bottom of the screen) are now styled to make them easier to read. If you're using a custom colorscheme and want to use these new elements, you need to update it; see the "Configuring Colors" section in the docs (#1016) (Alexander Batischev)

Fixed

  • A crash when entering a feed with an invalid filter expression (#1665) (Alexander Batischev)
  • Slow scrolling in Podboat (#1375) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Slow mark-all-read with remote APIs. It's still slow when a filter is applied, but without a filter it's as fast as possible (Alexander Batischev)
  • A crash when next-unread is invoked while viewing a tag with no unread feeds (#1734) (Alexander Batischev)
  • A crash on feeds that contain wide characters (e.g. emojis) (mcz)

Lists below only mention user-visible changes, but the full list of contributors for this release also includes Alexandre Alapetite.

Added

  • FreshRSS support (Petra Lamborn)
  • Ability to add descriptions to macros (#228) (Dennis van der Schagt)

Changed

  • IRC channel moved from Freenode to Libera.Chat network
  • Newsboat will now fail to start if settings are passed more parameters than they expect. To fix this, read the doc for the setting and try using double quotes as necessary (Alexander Batischev)
  • Newsboat will now quit if you try to open a query feed whose expression contains an unknown attribute. This is a temporary workaround; the next version will display an error instead. The proper fix couldn't be added to 2.24 because that'd disrupt the freeze on translations (#1665) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Updated translations: Dutch (Dennis van der Schagt), German (Lysander Trischler), Italian (Mauro Scomparin), Polish (Michał Siemek), Russian (Alexander Batischev), Turkish (Emir Sari), Ukrainian (Alexander Batischev)

Fixed

  • Segfault in Podboat when purging the list where the last item is finished or deleted (#1546) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • mark-feed-read applying to invisible items (e.g. the ones that are filtered out, or read ones when show-read-articles is in effect) (#1364) (Dennis van der Schagt)

Lists below only mention user-visible changes, but the full list of contributors for this release also includes: John Jarvis, Nicholas Defranco, and Raphael Nestler.

Added

  • open-in-browser-noninteractively operation which is similar to open-in-browser, but doesn't relinquish the terminal to the browser. It still waits for the browser to finish executing, though (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Confirmation for delete-all-articles. It's enabled by default, but can be disabled with confirm-delete-all-articles no. (#1490) (Amrit Brar)
  • %U specifier for feedlist-title-format which shows the total number of unread articles in all feeds (#1495) (Dennis van der Schagt)

  • Updated translations: Dutch (Dennis van der Schagt), German (Lysander Trischler), Italian (Mauro Scomparin), Polish (Carno), Russian (Alexander Batischev), Turkish (Emir Sari), and Ukrainian (Alexander Batischev)
  • Bumped minimum supported Rust version to 1.46.0

  • Slashes are now replaced by underscores when generating a podcast filename (#836) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • File- and dirbrowsers no longer produce invalid paths when user navigates with arrow keys (#1418) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Successful OPML import is no longer misreported as an error (Alexander Batischev)

2.22 - 2020-12-21

Lists below only mention user-visible changes, but the full list of contributors for this release also includes David Brito and panvicka.

Added

  • confirm-mark-all-feeds-read setting, which makes Newsboat ask for confirmation before marking all the feeds as read (#1215) (Tarishi Jain)
  • Command line autocompletion in the save dialog (#893) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Support for ^U, ^K, ^G, and ^W editing keys (as in readline and Emacs) in command line in the save dialog (Dennis van der Schagt)

  • --cleanup command-line flag, which does the same as cleanup-on-quit option (#1182) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • check and ci-check Makefile targets. Both run C++ and Rust test suites consecutively, but the former fails early. Use check locally where re-running tests is quick, and use ci-check in CI where re-running tests usually means re-building everything first (#896) (Alexander Batischev)
  • Command line support in the help dialog (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • "(localized)" marks in documentation for all settings with internationalized default values (#1270) (Amrit Brar)

  • Podboat: error message if the podcast file can't be written onto disk (#1209) (Nicholas Defranco)

Changed

  • Abort startup if the urls file or config file is not in UTF-8 encoding. This limitation was effectively in place for a couple releases already, but Newsboat crashed instead of displaying an error message. We intend to relax the requirement again, but for now, we choose to be upfront about it rather than crashing (#723, #844) (Dennis van der Schagt, Alexander Batischev)
  • save-all operation no longer provides "yes for all" and "no for all" options when there is only one conflict to resolve (#657) (saleh)

  • run-on-startup setting preventing Podboat from starting (#1288) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • scrolloff setting being ignored when opening a feed with lots of read articles before the unread one (#1293) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Memory corruption while rendering an article with JavaScript that contains HTML (#1300) (Alexander Batischev)
  • Podboat help dialog crashing if BACKSPACE is bound (#1139) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Being unable to run a second Newsboat instance with --cache-file switch if cache-file setting is used (#1318) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Misleading "an instance is already running" message when a lock file can't be created or written to (#314) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Failing to parse macros which contain semicolons in operations' arguments (#1200) (Alexander Batischev)
  • Not installing some of the contrib scripts (Alexander Batischev)
  • newsboat -x not reporting that another instance is already running (#483) (Dennis van der Schagt)
  • Itemlist refreshing while a macro is executing, causing the macro to operate on the wrong items (#70) (Dennis van der Schagt)

  • Support for Miniflux (#448) (Galen Abell)
  • run-on-startup setting which executes a given list of operations when Newsboat starts. This can be used to e.g. open tag dialog on startup, or go to a certain feed (#888) (Dennis van der Schagt)

2.20.1 - 2020-06-24

Fixed

  • Installation on BSDs (Tobias Kortkamp)

2.19 - 2020-03-22

Lists below only mention user-visible changes, but I would also like to acknowledge contributions from the following people: Ivan Tham, Merlin Büge, Raphael Nestler, and Tobias Kortkamp.

This is the last release to support Rust 1.26.0. Starting with Newsboat 2.20, we will be supporting only the last five stable Rust compilers (at the time of the release), e.g. Newsboat 2.20 will only support Rust 1.40, 1.41, 1.42, 1.43, 1.44 (which should be the current stable at the time of Newsboat 2.20 release). Please see newsboat#709 for more details on this decision.

  • contrib/pinboard.pl: save description of the article (Donald Merand)
  • The EOT markers ("~" characters below blocks of text) no longer inherit their style (colors + attributes) from the "article" style. Instead, they can be configured separately, allowing to hide them without hiding the article text (example config line: color end-of-text-marker default default invis) (#507) (Dennis van der Schagt)

Fixed

  • Breaking change: bind-key context podbeuter renamed to podboat (Alexander Batischev) (Kudos to Marcos Cruz)
