Breaking Changes

Hope you enjoy using circumflex.

4.5

This is the largest release since 4.0, and the biggest feature is dual-pane mode. Dual-pane mode splits the front page and comment section / reader mode into their own panes, which tends to look better on wide screens.

The Reader Mode engine has also been completely reworked. The result is that we are able to tweak it a lot better, which in turn should result in better rendered articles. Articles with math and latex symbols are especially improved, and we can even show low res images. Higher resolution images are not supported in this release, but might be available pending support for it upstream.

Lastly, the design has been tweaked ever so slightly to make it more consistent across screens.

New features

  • On terminals 180 columns or wider, the comment section and reader mode now open in a pane next to the front page instead of replacing it; configure with --wide-view always, --wide-view never or --wide-view <columns>
  • Open the next (J) or previous (K) story directly from the comment section and reader mode, without going back to the front page

Reader Mode

  • Reader Mode now parses the DOM directly with fewer intermediary passes
    • Was: HTML → Markdown → Terminal
    • Now: DOM → Terminal
  • Added support for showing images
  • LaTeX math is converted to Unicode on MathJax-powered pages
  • Plain-text pages are now shown as-is

Design

  • Code blocks are now rendered inside an ASCII box
  • The meta block has been simplified
  • The in-memoriam indicator (x has passed away) is now a double line under the header instead of a black bar

Infrastructure

  • The example theme.toml is now generated from the code

4.4

New features

  • Open the story (o) and comments (c) directly from the reader and comment views (Thanks, @aymericbeaumet! #204)

Improvements

  • Comment sections now load faster on large threads by fetching more comments in parallel
  • Unrecognized color values in theme.toml are now reported on startup instead of silently rendering without color

Fixes

  • Reader mode site filters (e.g. removing "Listen to this story" paragraphs) now match paragraphs even when styling interrupts the text
  • A cancelled comment fetch now reports the cancellation instead of returning a partial comment section as if fully loaded
  • Page down (Space/f/PgDn) and page up (b/PgUp) now work in the comment section's navigate mode
  • The nerd font YC label now dims on stories marked as read and is emboldened in comment section headlines
  • Fixed a bug where clx clear would not clear anything

4.3

New features

  • favorites is now a regular category that can can be moved or hidden entirely using the --categories flag

4.0

This is a big one for me.

This release marks the launch of something I've been wanting to have in circumflex for a long time--native comment section view with individually collapsable comments and more control over the output.

Until this release, I've leaned on outputting the views to less, which in fairness has served very well and I even found a way to collapse replies in it by defining the lesskey schema to filter out invisible characters to collapse and show threads. However, while efficient, it was at its core hacky, hard to build upon and almost impossible to extend.

In 4.0, we never leave circumflex to another application. That means more control of folding and navigating.

The release is also saying goodbye to some very helpful packages and API's that helped circumflex to where it is today. 4.0 has fewer dependencies than before and is using the official HN APIs for all calls.

I hope you will enjoy this release.
