v0.9.1
588ee57

Second public beta of rmweb, a native WPE WebKit browser for the reMarkable Paper Pro.

Upgrade from 0.9.0: quit rmweb first, then clean-install over USB (your profile in /home/root/.rmweb survives; only rmweb.log is wiped):

scp rmweb-0.9.1.tar.gz root@10.11.99.1:/home/root/
ssh root@10.11.99.1 'rm -rf /home/root/rmweb && mkdir -p /home/root/rmweb \
  && gunzip -c /home/root/rmweb-0.9.1.tar.gz | tar -C /home/root/rmweb -xf - \
  && /home/root/rmweb/install.sh'

New in 0.9.1

  • B&W fast mode (Settings): grayscale frames presented with the fast mono waveform, so page turns land clean and quick. A periodic full flash (every 100 turns) keeps ghosting in check. Asked for on Reddit, delivered.
  • Mobile/desktop UA toggle in Settings: heavy JS-app sites often serve a much lighter server-rendered page to mobile clients.
  • Launcher hardening: a dropped ssh session no longer leaves the stock UI down and a stale lock behind; a leftover lock after an emergency reboot is reclaimed automatically; xochitl restart is verified with a retry. Fixes the reboot loop users could hit on rapid quit/relaunch cycles.
  • Reader mode: "No article found" notice instead of a silent dead tap.
  • Same-URL link taps (site logos, refresh links) are no longer swallowed by the auto-refresh guard.
  • Typed-in addresses are limited to http/https.
  • The unused Qt VirtualKeyboard module (GPL-3.0) is gone from the bundle; rmweb paints its own keyboard. Tarball is smaller.
  • Packaging now fails loudly on a stale binary or missing rpaths instead of shipping them. CI runs the host test suite on every push.

Beta software. Focused on reading; heavy web apps are out of scope for this CPU.

v0.9.0
8d5b79c

First public beta of rmweb: a native WPE WebKit browser for the reMarkable Paper Pro.

Install (no toolchain needed): download rmweb-0.9.0.tar.gz, then on the tablet over USB:

scp rmweb-0.9.0.tar.gz root@10.11.99.1:/home/root/
ssh root@10.11.99.1 'mkdir -p /home/root/rmweb   && gunzip -c /home/root/rmweb-0.9.0.tar.gz | tar -C /home/root/rmweb -xf -   && /home/root/rmweb/install.sh'

Run /home/root/rmweb/rmweb https://example.com, quit with the ⏻ toolbar button to return to the stock UI. Optional home-screen icon via XOVI + AppLoad: see docs/install.md.

Highlights: reader mode (light/dark), bookmarks/history, settings page, form filling with autofill and a per-host password store (obfuscated, not encrypted), content blocking with cosmetic ad-collapse, e-ink calm-down CSS, auto-refresh guard, Lucide icon set, TLS padlock, downloads, in-page find.
