Less than a week to go to v0.1, which will hopefully be released this
Sunday! I took days off from work starting Wednesday, so I can work on
getting the remaining bugs[1] fixed until then.
Of course this week some of them already were squashed! :)
I also spent some time last week to get a buildbot up which runs
tests automatically on each push on various operating systems
(Archlinux, Debian, 2x Ubuntu, 2x Windows).
It can be found here: http://buildbot.qutebrowser.org/
(the most interesting view is probably
http://qutebrowser.org:8010/waterfall )
Also, I could close two more bugs because they were fixed in Qt 5.4,
which will be released Wednesday:
- Weird font rendering with tewi
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues/92
- Changing allow-plugins to false does not have the expected outcome
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues/240
