Change Log

All notable changes to aerc will be documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

Unreleased

Added

• Support for bindings with the Alt modifier.
• Zoxide support with :z.
• Hide local timezone with send-as-utc = true in accounts.conf.
• Persistent command history in ~/.cache/aerc/history.
• Cursor shape support in embedded terminals.
• Bracketed paste support.
• Display current directory in status-line.render-format with %p.
• Change accounts while composing a message with :switch-account.
• Override :open handler on a per-MIME-type basis in aerc.conf.
• Specify opener as the first :open param instead of always using default handler (i.e. :open gimp to open attachment in GIMP).
• Restored XOAUTH2 support for IMAP and SMTP.
• Support for attaching files with mailto:-links

Changed

• :open-link now supports link types other than HTTP(S)
• Running the same command multiple times only adds one entry to the command history.
• Embedded terminal backend (libvterm was replaced by a pure go implementation).
• Use event driven loop instead of Tick based
• Filter commands are now executed with :~/.config/aerc/filters:~/.local/share/aerc/filters:$PREFIX/share/aerc/filters:/usr/share/aerc/filters appended to the exec PATH. This allows referencing aerc's built-in filter scripts from their name only.

Fixed

• :open-link will now detect links containing an exclamation mark
• outgoing-cred-cmd will no longer be executed every time an email needs to be sent. The output will be stored until aerc is shut down. This behaviour can be disabled by setting outgoing-cred-cmd-cache=false in accounts.conf.
• Mouse support for embedded editors when mouse-enabled=true.
• Numerous race conditions related to event handling order
• Numerous race conditions related to OnInvalidate calls
