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.
