Sumi 0.0.3
Sumi 0.0.3
Alpha 3 makes Sumi more reliable during everyday browsing, with substantial improvements to navigation, Glance, media playback, fullscreen, the sidebar, and Settings.
Highlights
- Added automatic Glance for eligible links opened from Favorites and pinned tabs while preserving normal download, extension, modifier-click, middle-click, window, and same-frame behavior.
- Reworked the sidebar mini-player for multiple media sessions with focus, playback, mute, Picture in Picture, and dismissal controls.
- Reduced energy use during fullscreen video and improved native fullscreen and WebKit page-presentation lifecycles.
- Added configurable dimming and desaturation for unloaded tabs.
- Expanded Search Engine settings and unified native keyboard and menu command routing.
- Renamed Essentials to Favorites throughout Sumi.
Navigation and Glance
- Fixed navigation inside Glance previews and teardown after closing or promoting previews.
- Fixed browser link-navigation fallbacks and kept automatic Glance behind the same popup admission and exact-document validation as ordinary browser surfaces.
- Improved the page-loading indicator and its integration with Glance.
Sidebar, Tabs, and Folders
- Fixed Favorite selection across profiles, tab-close visual handoff hangs, and favicon update flicker.
- Improved collapsed-sidebar hover behavior, docked collapse animation, and vertical spacing.
- Fixed folder transition snapshots, folder-preview appearance changes, custom folder-icon selection, and cancelled split-picker cleanup.
Settings, Extensions, and Reliability
- Added search-engine filtering, editing, removal, restoration, and Tab Search controls.
- Moved Keyboard settings search into the toolbar and exposed commands through one native routing path.
- Fixed duplicate extension context-menu items, media context-menu downloads, and accidental command-palette activation from middle-clicks.
- Hardened page runtime lifecycle management and improved notification secondary-text contrast.
- Renamed “What's new in Sumi” to “Changelog” in About Sumi.
