Hey,

I'm happy to announce that I just released qutebrowser 2.5.2!

This is another bugfix release full of... duh bugfixes (and hopefully
no new bugs this time, like it happened with the notification fixes in
2.5.1 which actually made notifications less stable instead of more...).

Then again, this also squashes a bug which have been around since 2018,
so, it must be good! Here is the full changelog:

- Packaging-related fixes:
    * The `install` and `stacktrace` help pages are now included in the docs
      shipped with qutebrowser when using the recommended packaging workflow.
    * The Windows installer now more consistently uses the configured Windows
      colors.
    * The Windows installer now bases the desktop/start menu icon choices on
      the existing install, if upgrading.
    * The macOS release hopefully doesn't cause macOS to (falsely) claim that it
      "is damaged and can't be opened" anymore.
- The notification fixes in v2.5.1 caused new notification crashes (probably
  more common than the ones being fixed...). Those are now fixed, along with a
  (rather involved) test case to prevent similar issues in the future.
- When a text was not found on a page, the associated message would be shown as
  rich text (e.g. after `/<h1>`). With this release, this is fixed for search
  messages, while the 3.0.0 release will change the default for all messages to be
  plain-text. Note this is NOT a security issue, as only a small subset of HTML
  is interpreted as rich text by Qt, independently from the website.
- When a Greasemonkey script couldn't be loaded (e.g. due to an unreadable file),
  qutebrowser would crash. It now shows an error instead.
- Ever since the v1.2.0 release in 2018, the `content.default_encoding` setting
  was not applied on start properly (only when it was changed afterwards). This
  is now fixed.

Enjoy!

Florian
