[qutebrowser] qutebrowser v3.0.1/.2 released!

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey,

As I've learned today, even if you have automated releases, human
mistakes can still happen - like today, when I didn't actually backport
the upgrade for the bundled Qt (macOS/Windows) with security fixes, and
then released v3.0.1 without that upgrade.

Oh well, no 30 minutes later, I released v3.0.2, and this will probably
win an award for the shortest timespan between two qutebrowser releases
:)

Both releases contain various bugfixes for regressions in the recent
v3.0.0 release. There still are some things left to look at, those have
been moved to a v3.0.3:

Here is the full changelog:

v3.0.2
------

Fixed
~~~~~

- Upgraded the bundled Qt version to 6.5.3. Note this is only relevant for the
  macOS/Windows releases, on Linux those will be upgraded via your distribution
  packages. This Qt patch release comes with
  https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtreleasenotes.git/tree/qt/6.5.3/release-note.md[various important fixes],
  among them:
    * Fix for crashes on Google Meet / GMail with dark mode enabled
    * Fix for right-click in devtools not working properly
    * Fix for drag & drop not working on Wayland
    * Fix for some XKB key remappings not working
    * Security fixes up to Chromium 116.0.5845.187, including
      https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_11.html[CVE-2023-4863],
      a critical heap buffer overflow in WebP, for which "Google is aware that an
      exploit [...] exists in the wild."

v3.0.1
------

Fixed
~~~~~

- The "restore video" functionality of the `view_in_mpv` script works again on
  webengine.
- Setting `url.auto_search` to `dns` works correctly now with Qt 6.
- Counts passed via keypresses now have a digit limit (4300) to avoid
  exceptions due to cats sleeping on numpads. (#7834)
- Navigating via hints to a remote URL from a file:// one works again. (#7847)
- The timers related to the tab audible indicator and the auto follow timeout
  no longer accumulate connections over time. (#7888)
- The workaround for crashes when using drag & drop on Wayland with Qt 6.5.2 now also
  works correctly when using `wayland-egl` rather than `wayland` as Qt platform.
- Worked around a weird `TypeError` with `QProxyStyle` / `TabBarStyle` on
  certain platforms with Python 3.12.
- Removed 1px border for the downloads view, mostly noticeable when it's
  transparent.
- Due to a Qt bug, cloning/undoing a tab which was not fully loaded caused
  qutebrowser to crash. This is now fixed via a workaround.
- Graphical glitches in Google sheets and PDF.js via a new setting
  `qt.workarounds.disable_accelerated_2d_canvas` to disable the accelerated 2D
  canvas feature which defaults to enabled on affected Qt versions. (#7489)
- The download dialog should no longer freeze when browsing to directories
  with many files. (#7925)
- The app.slack.com User-Agent quirk now targets chromium 112 on Qt versions
  lower than 6.6.0 (previously it always targets chromium 99) (#7951)
- Workaround a Qt issue causing jpeg files to not show up in the upload file
  picker when it was filtering for image filetypes (#7866)

Enjoy!
