Plume v1.0.26

Plume 1.0.26

Full screen with F11, and work groups you can tidy.

F11

• F11 puts the page in full screen. Tabs, address bar and bookmarks go
  away, the window covers the screen, and only the page is left: enough to
  play a browser game with nothing around it. F11 again puts everything back,
  on the screen and in the state the window was in, maximised or not.
• This full screen belongs to the window, not to the page. Switching tabs
  keeps it, as in other browsers, and a video leaving its own full screen does
  not undo it.
• If a video is the one holding full screen, F11 asks it to leave rather than
  pulling the screen from under it: the player puts its controls back, and its
  exit brings the window home.

Work groups

• A page can be removed from a group from its card. The gear on the card
  unfolds the list of the group's pages, each with its icon, its title and its
  own cross. Right-clicking a tab already did it, but only for an open page:
  an address filed three weeks ago had no way out. The cross on the edge still
  deletes the whole group.
• Cards keep their own height when one unfolds, instead of stretching their
  neighbours, and the gear and the cross stay next to the group's name instead
  of drifting into the middle of the list.

Plume v1.0.25

Plume 1.0.25

Stability first: tab sleeping is gone, and Plume no longer acts on its own.

Why tabs no longer sleep

The engine's browser process died three times in six days, always on a video
page, and Windows never said a word about it: no error report, no graphics
driver reset, no memory exhaustion. Sleeping was the only thing Plume asked of
the engine that touches its process-level memory management. It is the
best-placed suspect, and the only one that could be removed without losing
anything essential. Plume now holds more memory. A browser that weighs is
better than a browser that closes.

Freezes

• Plume asks the engine a trivial question every four seconds, and what counts
  is that an answer comes back. A frozen page is written to
  profil/plantages.txt instead of passing unnoticed.
• Nothing is done automatically: a false alarm would reload a video you were
  watching, or close a browser you were working in. "Restart Plume" waits in
  the gear panel, and it is the only command still answering when every page is
  frozen. The reprise_auto setting in config.json hands the decision back.
• A page that no longer answers can also be revived with Ctrl+Shift+R, which
  rebuilds the view and so changes renderer process.

Pages and ads

• Windows a page asks for really open now. Sites that open "about:blank" and
  fill it afterwards, including ads some sites make you watch before a stream,
  only ever got a blank tab before.
• An ad is also recognised by its parameters, not just its domain: throwaway
  domains carrying a click id together with a landing-page key, a tracker, a
  sold zone or a feed. A domain that starts with the very click id it carries
  is refused outright.
• A refused advertising window says so and offers to open it anyway, for the
  sites that demand one before showing anything.
• Pages that set no background of their own are readable again. LinkedIn came
  out black on black.
• The what's new page no longer reports itself as a scam: it quotes the
  changelog, which describes the "click allow to prove you are not a robot"
  trick.

Plume v1.0.24

What's new

• Plume notices when the engine dies under it. A crashed renderer reloads its tab; if the whole browser process is gone, Plume saves the session and restarts into it. This is what showed as every page going blank at once, on every site. And when Windows updates the WebView2 runtime while Plume is running, Plume now says so and offers to restart, instead of waiting for the pages to die.
• A history page. Grouped by day, with a search field, a cross to forget a single page, and a button to clear everything. Ctrl+H opens it. It can be switched off entirely, and a private window still writes nothing.
• Settings are panes now, not one long page. The column on the left picks the one you see, the address remembers it, and a search box finds a setting across all of them.
• Ctrl+J reopens the downloads window, which used to appear once and never come back.
• YouTube's theatre mode is remembered from one video to the next, and the theatre button in Plume's player now aims at the right site: Twitch and YouTube each have their own button and shortcut.
• Two address bar fixes: selecting part of the address with the mouse no longer snaps back to selecting all of it, and clicking a suggestion opens it. Only Enter worked before.

Which file do I want?

• Plume-1.0.24-installeur.exe is the normal one. It installs Plume, adds a Start menu shortcut, lets it be set as the default browser, and updates itself from then on.
• Plume-1.0.24-portable.zip is the same program as a plain folder. Unzip it anywhere, run Plume.exe, and the profile is created next to it, so the whole folder travels as it is. No shortcut, no uninstall entry, and it cannot be the default browser. Note: the updater downloads the installer, so if you let the portable copy update itself you end up with a second, installed one. Replace the folder by hand instead.

Windows 10 (1809) or 11, 64-bit. The installer is not code signed, so SmartScreen will warn you: click More info, then Run anyway.

Plume v1.0.23

What's new

• Plume no longer overwrites WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS or
  WEBVIEW2_USER_DATA_FOLDER. Switches and a profile path set before launch
  are kept, and Plume only adds its own on top. This is what portable setups
  need, and it was silently dropping them before.

Plume v1.0.22

Les nouveautes s'ouvrent en page, et non en bandeau

Ce qui a change merite d'etre lu, pas apercu au-dessus de la page qu'on
regardait : le premier lancement d'une nouvelle version ouvre un onglet sur
la section des nouveautes.

Le journal dit aussi ce que le moteur a recu pour les mots de passe et les
formulaires. Sans cette ligne, un remplissage qui ne se fait pas ne se
distinguait pas d'un reglage qui n'etait jamais arrive ; c'est elle qui a
montre, a l'essai, que le reglage passait bien et que le moteur faisait son
travail.

Plume v1.0.21

Plume 1.0.21 : sortir du plein ecran ne change plus d'ecran

Signale sur deux ecrans : quitter le plein ecran d'une video ramenait la
fenetre sur l'ecran principal, et non sur celui ou la video jouait. Plume
remettait « la taille d'avant », posee au demarrage et reprise seulement au
clic sur le bouton d'agrandissement : deplacer la fenetre agrandie d'un ecran
a l'autre, ce que Windows fait sans nous le dire, la laissait pointer vers
l'ecran du debut.

La fenetre retient desormais l'ecran ou la video passe en plein ecran. En
sortant, la taille d'avant est reprise si elle tombe sur cet ecran, et
recentree dessus sinon. Elle est reposee par SetWindowPos, celui-la meme qui
l'avait mise en plein ecran : WinForms ignore ce deplacement, et une taille
qu'il croit inchangee ne serait pas appliquee.

La version reste la 1.0.21, qui n'a pas ete publiee : l'empreinte du
manifeste suit le nouvel installeur.

Plume 1.0.20

Le projet devient vraiment libre : licence, tiers, lisez-moi, journal

Le code etait public sans licence, donc tous droits reserves : personne
n'avait le droit de le reutiliser ni d'y contribuer. Plume passe sous
GPL-3.0, qui va avec l'ecosysteme de mpv et garde les forks ouverts.

TIERS.md liste chaque composant redistribue, sa version, sa licence et ses
sources. mpv est le point qui engage : la GPL demande que les sources
correspondantes soient disponibles, le fichier donne donc le depot et la
revision exacte du binaire embarque.

Le lisez-moi decrivait un autre logiciel, avec tkinter et Google en page de
depart. Il est reecrit, en anglais et en francais : les chiffres mesures, en
disant que le moteur WebView2 est compte a part et qu'il faut additionner les
deux ; les fonctions et les trois modules ; l'avertissement de Windows et la
verification d'empreinte ; la construction depuis les sources ; et ce que
Plume n'est pas, dit d'emblee plutot que decouvert par deception.

Le journal des versions reprend les vingt publications. Le site porte
desormais un lien vers le depot et la mention de la licence.

v1.0.19

Plume 1.0.19 : le lecteur prend la couleur du theme

mpv est un autre processus : il ne lit pas notre configuration. La palette
lui est transmise comme la langue l'etait deja, par la ligne de commande au
lancement, et par le tube IPC en cours de lecture : changer de theme pendant
une video repeint la barre sans attendre la suivante. osc.lua traduit ces
couleurs en couleurs ASS, qui s'ecrivent a l'envers, et retombe sur le violet
d'origine si une valeur lui parvient abimee.

La couleur avait trop peu de place pour se voir : elle ne tenait qu'au trait
de la ligne de temps deja lue. Le curseur de volume, sa poignee et les
boutons survoles la prennent desormais aussi. Les icones au repos et le
compteur restent blancs : la barre est posee sur une image mouvante, et le
blanc est ce qui s'y lit le mieux.

Verifie : l'executable construit demarre ; la barre est capturee par mpv
lui-meme dans trois teintes, avant et apres. Le changement a chaud n'a pas pu
etre eprouve ici, un tube nomme n'etant pas ouvrable depuis nos outils.
