9### Added
10- WebKit memory controls (opt‑in):
11  - Env vars to tune memory/perf trade‑offs without code changes:
12    - `DUMBER_CACHE_MODEL`, `DUMBER_ENABLE_PAGE_CACHE`
13    - `DUMBER_ENABLE_MEMORY_MONITORING`, `DUMBER_MEMORY_LIMIT_MB`, `DUMBER_MEMORY_POLL_INTERVAL`
14    - `DUMBER_MEMORY_CONSERVATIVE`, `DUMBER_MEMORY_STRICT`, `DUMBER_MEMORY_KILL`
15    - `DUMBER_GC_INTERVAL`, `DUMBER_RECYCLE_THRESHOLD`
16  - Version‑guarded CGO wrappers for memory pressure and GC hooks; safe no‑ops on unsupported WebKitGTK builds.
17 - Find in page (Ctrl/Cmd+F):
18   - Omnibox refactored into a reusable component with dedicated "find" mode.
19   - Highlighting: yellow for all matches; active match in orange for clarity.
20   - Match list with context (right side stops at nearest punctuation: . , ; : -).
21   - Navigation UX:
22     - ArrowUp/Down move selection and scroll the overlay list (page scroll disabled while open).
23     - Enter centers on the active match and closes; Shift+Enter goes to previous; Alt+Enter centers without closing.
24     - Hover focuses input and selects list items; click outside closes the overlay.
25     - Faded overlay with subtle blur when reviewing matches; opacity restores on input focus/typing.
26   - Programmatic API: `OpenFind(initial)`, `FindQuery(q)`, `CloseFind()` on `WebView`.
27
28### Changed
29- Performance‑first defaults retained:
30  - Cache model set to “WebBrowser”, page cache enabled, DevTools available.
31  - No implicit memory pressure or GC enabled by default; all memory tuning is opt‑in.
32
33### Removed
34- Deprecated offline app‑cache calls eliminated (no‑ops) to avoid warnings and brittle builds.
35
36### Fixed
37- Homepage Recent History layout:
38  - Show single-line entries as “{Title} – {Domain} – {URL}”.
39  - Truncate long URLs with a gradient fade; prevent horizontal overflow.
40  - Adjusted styling so URL is darker for readability.
41- Search shortcuts and config interop:
42  - Backend SearchShortcut now serializes `url`/`description` with JSON tags.
43  - Frontend normalizes field casing and extracts base URLs, handling `%s` and `{query}` templates.
44  - Omnibox shortcut parsing now URL-encodes queries and supports `%s` placeholders.
45- Input and navigation reliability (GTK4/WebKitGTK 6):
46  - Capture-phase key controller to ensure accelerators fire consistently.
47  - Do not consume normal left/right clicks; only mouse buttons 8/9 trigger back/forward.
48  - Added Alt+ArrowLeft/Right navigation and enabled two-finger swipe back/forward when supported.
49  - Added Ctrl+scroll zoom in/out; refined accelerator matching so Ctrl− works across layouts.
50  - Removed layout-specific hacks; added diagnostic logs for raw minus key events.
51- Zoom persistence:
52  - Added WebView zoom-changed hook; save per-domain zoom to SQLite on every change.
53  - Log on successful save: “saved X.XX for domain.tld” and on load: “loaded X.XX for domain.tld”.
54  - Load and log initial zoom level on startup and on every navigation.
55- Build/dev ergonomics:
56  - Makefile loads `.env.local`; supports overriding `GOMODCACHE`, `GOCACHE`, `GOTMPDIR` for sandboxed builds.
57 - WebKit CGO hardening and API compatibility:
58   - Apply memory pressure settings to `WebKitNetworkSession` (correct signature) when enabled.
59   - Guarded C wrappers remove deprecation warnings across header variants; builds succeed on WebKitGTK 6.

61## [0.2.0] - 2025-09-10
62
63### Added
64- WebKitGTK 6 (GTK4) migration for the built‑in browser window:
65  - WebView constructed via `g_object_new(WEBKIT_TYPE_WEB_VIEW, …)` with a fresh `WebKitUserContentManager`.
66  - `WebKitNetworkSession` with persistent cookies (SQLite) and cache directories.
67- Native UCM messaging restored via `script-message-received::dumber` (JSCValue*), removing the JS fallback bridge.
68- Rendering mode controls:
69  - CLI flag `--rendering-mode=auto|gpu|cpu` and `DUMBER_RENDERING_MODE` env.
70  - In‑app status endpoint `dumb://homepage/api/rendering/status`.
71- Native zoom shortcuts at the WebKit layer (Ctrl/Cmd+=, +, −, 0) and GTK4 input controllers for keyboard/mouse.
72- AZERTY keyboard fix: treat underscore as minus for zoom‑out.
73- Runtime theme synchronization: watch GTK `gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme` and update page color‑scheme live.
74- Makefile target `check-webkit` to print `pkg-config` versions of GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0/JSC 6.0.
75- Documentation updates:
76  - README now targets WebKitGTK 6 (GTK4) and lists GStreamer package requirements for Arch and Debian/Ubuntu.
77  - CLAUDE notes updated with migration status, GPU/Vulkan path, runtime theme sync, and persistence.
78
79### Changed
80- Build flags and includes now target `webkitgtk-6.0`, `gtk4`, and `javascriptcoregtk-6.0`.
81- GTK4 APIs for windowing and event handling (GtkEventController, GtkGestureClick) replace GTK3/GdkEvent paths.
82
83### Removed
84- Legacy WebKit2GTK constructors and container APIs.
85- JavaScript fallback for UCM message bridging.
86
87### Fixed
88- Header/enum compatibility for hardware acceleration policy and cookie policy across WebKit header variants.
89- Linker error for `on_theme_changed` and gpointer usage in signal connections.
90- Crashy paths mitigated by default “media safe” startup (can be disabled via `DUMBER_MEDIA_SAFE=0`).
91
92### Notes
93- GPU rendering path leverages GTK4’s renderer (Vulkan/OpenGL). Mode `auto` uses GPU when available and falls back gracefully to CPU.
94- WebKitGTK relies on GStreamer; install recommended packages for audio/video (see README).
95
96## [0.1.0] - 2025-09-09
97
98### Added
99- Initial project scaffolding, build system, and dependencies.
100- Unified CLI + GUI architecture with search shortcuts and fuzzy parsing.
101- Wails v3‑alpha browser integration (early phase).
102- Global keyboard controls with script injection (zoom/devtools, etc.).
103- Native WebKit2GTK backend migration:
104  - Custom `dumb://` scheme and `/api` endpoints: `/config`, `/history/recent`, `/history/search`, `/history/stats`.
105  - UserContentManager omnibox injection and theme initialization.
106  - Persistent WebsiteDataManager with cookies.sqlite; per‑domain zoom and title persistence.
107  - Keyboard/mouse accelerators (including mouse back/forward); debounced triggers.
108  - Homepage switched to first‑party API fetches; removed @wailsio/runtime usage.
109- Documentation and licensing: README enhancements and LICENSE added.
110
111### Changed
112- Replaced Wails runtime with native WebKit2GTK CGO bindings and homepage API.
113- Improved asset resolution and logging for the `dumb://homepage` scheme.
114
115### Fixed
116- Eliminated duplicate accelerator triggers via debouncing.
117- Corrected asset resolution and URL normalization in scheme handler.
