  • improved support for styling tab bar text;
  • added support for deleting User Scripts in Addons Manager;
  • restored inline URLs completion;
  • added action for peeking tab contents;
  • multiple bug fixes and stability improvements.

Please note, we haven't entered feature freeze phase yet, so 1.0 will see some more stuff, not just fixes and updates.
Next stop, (Pre) RC 3, next month.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Transfers Window
@DaveH, that part may land too soonish, but we need to make final decision how to store it, in pixels or as percent, and if if we should save all widths or just for these columns modified manually.
Probably pixels and saving only these modified by user is the best solution.
Also we should consider introducing concept of named columns, as right now they are identified by numbers, which is not exactly user friendly plus is less obvious when you change order.

@DaveH, it's not remembered yet. :-P
Instead it uses varied default widths and widest column(s) get extra remaining space.
It applies to most of the views now.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Otter Tips and Tricks
Does this mean that when I create my custom config in the Keyboard Edit dialog, I will have to move my config above the Default config, and then I can expect my custom keybinds work even when the Default config says something else?
More or less, feel free to experiment with it, and either go for new topic to discuss it or ask me on IRC, to keep this one cleaner.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Otter Tips and Tricks
Otter has been heavily reworked meanwhile and currently seems to lack an out-of-the-box keybind to toggle Panels on and off. In old Opera it was F4.
Incorrect, it works fine with default configuration, most likely you are using customized Default profile that failed to migrate (AFAIR there were some initial issues, with files without basename).
Preferred way to extend defaults is to add separate profile containing just custom additions or overrides, in case of conflicts actions from profile on the top of the list should win over these defined in other profiles.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Confused about HTML5
@Borut, @Otto Lutrinae, there are three options:
  • try version that comes in ZIP archive (as of now it is only missing H264, but it will be available later thanks to OpenH264 library), the one marked as ZIP package for Windows XP or later, 32 bit;
  • try experimental QtWebEngine build (this one is also missing H264, but probably permanently...);
  • install this to allow WMF to handle WebM: https://www.webmproject.org/ie/
Windows Media Foundation works in different way and so far I haven't seen any library that could take advantage of both legacy codecs and new system.
The main advantage of WMF is that it has built-in support for multiple formats, but sadly only proprietary stuff (plus it seems that full support is available only in Windows 10):

As noted earlier, GStreamer seems to be better choice but at the cost of extra package size (plus new infrastructure to build such packages with MSVC)...

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Confused about HTML5
@Otto Lutrinae, which build are you using?
There are two configurations available (not counting QtWebEngine), standard one uses native infrastructure available in Windows (Windows Media Foundation) and there is also -xp package, which uses GStreamer (and bundled codecs).
I'm already considering going just for GStreamer or at least replacing 32 bit variant (keeping support for XP, since it's "free") but it has some disadvantages, like increasing package size.
