5## [0.2.0] - 2025-09-10

7### Added
8- WebKitGTK 6 (GTK4) migration for the built‑in browser window:
9  - WebView constructed via `g_object_new(WEBKIT_TYPE_WEB_VIEW, …)` with a fresh `WebKitUserContentManager`.
10  - `WebKitNetworkSession` with persistent cookies (SQLite) and cache directories.
11- Native UCM messaging restored via `script-message-received::dumber` (JSCValue*), removing the JS fallback bridge.
12- Rendering mode controls:
13  - CLI flag `--rendering-mode=auto|gpu|cpu` and `DUMBER_RENDERING_MODE` env.
14  - In‑app status endpoint `dumb://homepage/api/rendering/status`.
15- Native zoom shortcuts at the WebKit layer (Ctrl/Cmd+=, +, −, 0) and GTK4 input controllers for keyboard/mouse.
16- AZERTY keyboard fix: treat underscore as minus for zoom‑out.
17- Runtime theme synchronization: watch GTK `gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme` and update page color‑scheme live.
18- Makefile target `check-webkit` to print `pkg-config` versions of GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0/JSC 6.0.
19- Documentation updates:
20  - README now targets WebKitGTK 6 (GTK4) and lists GStreamer package requirements for Arch and Debian/Ubuntu.
21  - CLAUDE notes updated with migration status, GPU/Vulkan path, runtime theme sync, and persistence.

23### Changed
24- Build flags and includes now target `webkitgtk-6.0`, `gtk4`, and `javascriptcoregtk-6.0`.
25- GTK4 APIs for windowing and event handling (GtkEventController, GtkGestureClick) replace GTK3/GdkEvent paths.
26
27### Removed
28- Legacy WebKit2GTK constructors and container APIs.
29- JavaScript fallback for UCM message bridging.
30
31### Fixed
32- Header/enum compatibility for hardware acceleration policy and cookie policy across WebKit header variants.
33- Linker error for `on_theme_changed` and gpointer usage in signal connections.
34- Crashy paths mitigated by default “media safe” startup (can be disabled via `DUMBER_MEDIA_SAFE=0`).
35
36### Notes
37- GPU rendering path leverages GTK4’s renderer (Vulkan/OpenGL). Mode `auto` uses GPU when available and falls back gracefully to CPU.
38- WebKitGTK relies on GStreamer; install recommended packages for audio/video (see README).

42### Added
43- Initial project scaffolding, build system, and dependencies.
44- Unified CLI + GUI architecture with search shortcuts and fuzzy parsing.
45- Wails v3‑alpha browser integration (early phase).
46- Global keyboard controls with script injection (zoom/devtools, etc.).
47- Native WebKit2GTK backend migration:
48  - Custom `dumb://` scheme and `/api` endpoints: `/config`, `/history/recent`, `/history/search`, `/history/stats`.
49  - UserContentManager omnibox injection and theme initialization.
50  - Persistent WebsiteDataManager with cookies.sqlite; per‑domain zoom and title persistence.
51  - Keyboard/mouse accelerators (including mouse back/forward); debounced triggers.
52  - Homepage switched to first‑party API fetches; removed @wailsio/runtime usage.
53- Documentation and licensing: README enhancements and LICENSE added.
54
55### Changed
56- Replaced Wails runtime with native WebKit2GTK CGO bindings and homepage API.

60- Eliminated duplicate accelerator triggers via debouncing.
61- Corrected asset resolution and URL normalization in scheme handler.
