Dillo release 3.2.0
+Released on 2025-01-18 + + + +Summary of changes
+ +The 3.2.0 release contains several new features, configuration options and bug +fixes. + +
We added SVG support for math formulas and other simple SVG images by
+patching the nanosvg library.
+This is specially relevant for Wikipedia math articles 1.
+
+
+
ignore_image_formats
to
+ignore image formats that you may not trust (libwebp had
+some
+ CVEs recently).
+
+
A new scrollbar page navigation mode was introduced to help read
+websites as if they are books, reducing the usage of the mouse wheel. To enable
+it, set the option scrollbar_page_mode
to YES
.
+Clicking anywhere on the vertical scrollbar with the left mouse button will
+scroll the view one page down. With the right mouse button, one page up. You can
+also configure how much overlap from the previous page is shown in the next one
+with the new option scroll_page_overlap
.
+
+
The vertical scrollbar can now be placed on the left side of the page
+with the option scrollbar_on_left
. While this may be strange at
+first, I find it more pleasant as it keeps it next to the beginning of the
+text where I'm usually already looking while reading.
+
+
A new option link_action
allows users to define custom
+commands to open new URLs. These appear on the link menu when
+right clicking an hyperlink. You can define multiple options to create multiple
+entries.
+
+
+
Websites can now be zoomed by using the shortcuts Ctrl +
+to make text bigger and Ctrl -
to make it smaller, Ctrl
+0
to reset the normal size. Set the default zoom level with the
+zoom_factor
option.
+
+
The SIGUSR1 signal now causes the current page to be reloaded. This is useful +to implement a live view while editing a web page. Here is a simple way +to do it with the entr(1) tool: +
$ ls index.html | entr killall -USR1 dillo
+
