Heya,

Looks like the v2.0.0 release went big on Hacker News:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25940453

As those things usually go, a couple of regressions were reported
shortly after the v2.0.0 release.

I've spent the day squashing a couple of bugs and just released v2.0.1
because some of them prevented qutebrowser from starting properly
(though only if it was installed in a particular way; or if it was
installed/packaged in an unclean way).

Considerably less changes this time:
19 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-)

And the changelog is much shorter as well:

Fixed
~~~~~

- If qutebrowser was installed as a Python egg (similar to a .zip file, via
  `setup.py install` under certain conditions), a change in v2.0.0 caused it to
  not start properly. This is now fixed.
- If qutebrowser was set up (or packaged) in an unclean environment, this could
  result in a stale `qutebrowser/components/adblock.py` file being picked up. That
  file is not part of the release anymore, but if an old version is still around,
  causes qutebrowser to crash. It's now explicitly blocked inside qutebrowser so
  it gets ignored even if it still exists.
- When the adblocking method was switched using `:set`, and the `adblock`
  dependency was unavailable when qutebrowser started (but was installed while
  qutebrowser was open), this resulted in a crash. Now a warning prompting for a
  restart of qutebrowser is shown instead.

Changed
~~~~~~~

- The `format_json` userscript now uses sh instead of bash again.
- The `add-nextcloud-bookmarks`, `add-nextcloud-cookbook`, `readability` and
  `ripbang` userscripts now use a `python3` rather than plain `python` shebang.
- When `QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS` is set in the environment, this causes flag
  handling (including workarounds for QtWebEngine crashes) inside qutebrowser to
  break. This will be handled properly in a future version, but this release now
  shows a warning on standard output if this is the case.
- The config completion for `fileselect.*.command` now also includes the "nnn"
  terminal file manager.

Now back to reading Reddit/Hackernews comments,
Florian
