Just like with +[1.4.0](weltschmerz-1.4.0) most of them were designed and implemented by +[nortti](https://ahti.space/%7Enortti/). Thanks a lot! + +Head over to the [project page](weltschmerz) to download the new version right +away, or read on to take a look at noteworthy changes. + +## Open with ... + +<figure> + <img src="img/weltschmerz-open-with.png" alt="The 'Open + with ...' feature in weltschmerz 1.5.0"/> + <figcaption>The 'Open with ...' feature in weltschmerz 1.5.0</figcaption> +</figure> + +The main new feature in weltschmerz 1.5.0, added in +[a9706ec](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/commit/?id=a9706ec27edc0aef03f72daba28647aca1c42070), +is the ability to add custom 'Open with ...' handlers for the URI context menu. +These are added to the new `open-with` section in the configuration file. For +example, the handlers in the picture above are defined like so: + +``` +[open-with] +mpv = mpv --force-window=immediate --really-quiet % +ff-priv = firefox-bin --private-window % +``` + +Any occurrence of the `%` character will be replaced by the URI before +weltschmerz launches the given program. + +## Changes to OSC 7 handling + +To increase compatibility with systems and setups that do not understand or emit +OSC 7 escapes, weltschmerz now falls back to obtaining its current directory +from the `procfs` subsystem. Additionally, a new option 'prefer-osc7' has been +introduced that controls whether OSC 7 should be preferred at all. See +[71388f9](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/commit/?id=71388f94c694a36b0ac360b34f09d7c16a51f803) +and +[6f03994](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/commit/?id=6f0399481b215817960b5cf36ee03a658a2d9b89). + +## Small bugfixes and more internationalization + +When matching URLs, weltschmerz now ignores punctuation at the end. This should +make it easier to open up URLs in terminal-bound chat applications. Finally, +version 1.5.0 contains a full Finnish translation of the manual. + +That's it for this update. See +[`NEWS`](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/tree/NEWS) for the full set of +changes, and +[`1.4.1..1.5.0`](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/log/?qt=range&q=1.4.1..1.5.0) +for all relevant commits. |
