Heya,

whoa, it's Tuesday already! So like every Monday, here are the weekly
updates! :P

First of all, as a reminder: qutebrowser v0.1.3 has been released last
Thursday - it fixes a security issue where passwords were accidentally
logged to the debug log:

https://lists.schokokeks.org/pipermail/qutebrowser/2015-February/000047.html

If you haven't updated yet, you should! If you're using the git
repository, of course you can keep using that, the bug has fixed there
as well.

Other than that, there are definitely a few cool new features
(sessions!) new this week :) Note sessions have a new dependency,
PyYAML (probably named python3-yaml or so). If you're using
init_venv.py, you should delete your .venv folder and re-run
init_venv.py.

Features
--------

- New commandline-API and UI improvements for downloads.

  new commands: :download{,-cancel,-delete,-open,-remove}
  Thanks to Joel Torstensson for this contribution!

- Make it possible to configure tab titles.

  new setting: tabs -> title-format
  (similiar to ui -> window-title-format)

- Add support for sessions.

  new commands: :session{-delete,-load,-save}, :wq
  new setting: general -> save-session.

Improvements
------------

- Add config options to globally disable geolocation/notifications
  instead of asking.

  new options: content -> geolocation and content -> notifications.

Bugfixes
--------

- The password logging bug mentioned above.
- Fix starting with -c "".
- Ignore tab presses if they'd switch keyboard focus.
- Fix loading of history URLs containing spaces.
- Fix searching for a search term starting with a slash.
- Force saving of the config if new options were added.
- Fix handling of ", or None..." in documentation generator.

Under the hood
--------------

- Various bigger refactorings and cleanups.
- Reorganisation of the buildbot jobs (only one worker executing the
  lints, not one per OS): http://qutebrowser.org:8010/waterfall
- Buildbots now all have an X-server set up, for more involved tests.
