# Changes for Newsboat

## 2.27 - 2022-03-22

### Added

- Support for regexes in `ignore-article`; for example, you can now use
    `ignore-article "https://nitter.net/.*" "title =~ \"RT by\""` to ignore all
    retweets in your Nitter feeds. This is more efficient than matching on
    `feedurl` from the filter expression, because this new form is only
    evaluated for the feeds that match the regex, while the old form would run
    for all articles of all feeds (#1913) (duarm)
- A "universal" color scheme (Yurii H)
- A user-contributed script to show images in Kitty terminal emulator:
    contrib/kitty-img-pager.sh (Timm Heuss)
- Support for XDG directories in contrib/exportOPMLWithTags.py (frogtile)

### Changed

- Bumped minimum supported Rust version to 1.55.0
- We now link to our own STFL fork: https://github.com/newsboat/stfl. The
    upstream's SVN is down, and we never managed to get any of our bugfixes in
    there anyway. Since we seem to be the last remaining STFL user, we advise
    downstream maintainers to rely on our repo instead. Our fork is maintained to
    the extent necessary for Newsboat
- In manpages, command line options are now set in bold and are underlined,
    while inline code is underlined. These changes improve readability (Lysander
    Trischler)
- Clarified error messages in OPML import (#1919) (bogdasar1985)
- Updated translations: Dutch (Dennis van der Schagt), French (Tonus), German
    (Lysander Trischler), Hungarian (maxigaz), Italian (Mauro Scomparin), Polish
    (Michał Siemek), Russian, Ukrainian (Alexander Batischev), Spanish (Roboron3042),
    Turkish (Emir SARI)
- Updated vendored library json.hpp to 3.10.5, Catch2 to 2.13.8

### Fixed

- Cursor jumping too far after marking a feed read when hidden feeds are present
    (#1934) (Dennis van der Schagt)
- Newsboat exiting with code 0 when OPML import fails (bogdasar1985)
- XML entities not being decoded in "text/plain" entries (#1938) (bogdasar1985)
- Crash when "ol" or "ul" tags are closed multiple times (#1974) (Dennis van der
    Schagt)
- Confirmation and Q&A text being almost invisible with "nord" color scheme
    (Daryl Manning)
- Some invalid code in contrib/exportOPMLWithTags.py (frogtile)
- Blank lines inside tags not being preserved when inside a "pre" tag (#2003)
    (blank X)
- A potential crash in HTML entities decoding code (blank X)

### Security

- Addressed CVE-2022-24713 (a.k.a. RUSTSEC-2022-0013) by updating "regex" crate
    to 1.5.5 (#2008) (Alexander Batischev)

## 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)
- A note that the urls file can contain comments (Lysander Trischler)

### 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)
- Podboat: move to the next item after marking a podcast finished or deleted
    (Dennis van der Schagt)
- `purge-deleted` now keeps the cursor near where it was in the list, rather
    than the *line* it was on (#1728) (Allan Wind)
- Updated translations: Dutch (Dennis van der Schagt), German (Lysander
    Trischler), Italian (Mauro Scomparin), Polish (Michał Siemek), Russian,
    Ukrainian (Alexander Batischev), and Turkish (Emir Sari)
- Updated vendored library Catch2 to 2.13.7, and json.hpp to 3.10.2

### 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)



## 2.24 - 2021-06-20

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)
- Support for plain-text Atom entries (YouTube is the most prominent publisher
    of those) (#468, #1022, #1010) (Dennis van der Schagt)
- `restrict-filename` setting to control if non-alphanumeric symbols will get
    replaced by underscores when saving an article (#1110) (crimsonskylark)
- `highlight-feed` setting to highlight feedlist entries according to the filter
    expressions (same as `highlight-article` in the article list) (#1510)
    (Vonter)

### 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

    deleted (#1546) (Dennis van der Schagt)

    out, or read ones when `show-read-articles` is in effect) (#1364) (Dennis
    van der Schagt)
- Supplying garbage instead of a correct Newsboat version to FeedHQ and The Old
    Reader (Alexander Batischev)
- Sorting in ascending order partially reversing the results of the previous
    sort (#1561) (tau3)
- Compile errors when building with a stack protector (#1598) (Alexander
    Batischev)
- `toggle-article-read` ignoring its argument in macros when executed from an
    article view (#1637) (ysh16)
- Article view scrolling back to top after opening a link (#1463) (Dennis van
    der Schagt)
- The build system trying to find `iconv()` in libc instead of linking with
    libiconv (Theo Buehler)



## 2.23 - 2021-03-21

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)

    (Mark A. Matney, Jr)
- List `iframe` URLs in the article view (#1153) (Mark A. Matney, Jr)

### Changed

- Newsboat now refuses to enqueue a podcast if its filename is already present
    in the queue. If that happens, you'll have to adjust
    `download-filename-format` to make the filenames more distinguishable
    (#1411) (Dennis van der Schagt)
- Reduced message flickering when reloading feeds (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
- Updated vendored library Catch2 to 2.13.4

### Removed

- `dumpform` command-line command which was only intended for debugging
    (Dennis van der Schagt)

### Fixed

- Missing empty lines inside `pre` tags (#1429) (Alexander Batischev)
- `open-all-unread-in-browser-and-mark-rea
