[qutebrowser] qutebrowser v3.5.0 released!

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey!

I'm happy to announce that I just released qutebrowser v3.5.0!

Nothing too big feature-wise this time, but lots of bugfixes and
hopefully some small website compatibility improvements as well.

# Changed

- Windows/macOS releases are now built with Qt 6.9.0
    * Based on Chromium 130.0.6723.192
    * Security fixes up to Chromium 133.0.6943.141
- The `content.headers.user_agent` setting now has a new
  `{upstream_browser_version_short}` template field, which is the
  upstream/Chromium version but shortened to only major version.
- The default user agent now uses the shortened Chromium version and doesn't
  expose the `QtWebEngine/...` part anymore, thus making it equal to the
  corresponding Chromium user agent. This increases compatibilty due to various
  overzealous "security" products used by a variety of websites that block
  QtWebEngine, presumably as a bot (known issues existed with Whatsapp Web, UPS,
  Digitec Galaxus).
- Changed features in userscripts:
    * `qute-bitwarden` now passes your password to the subprocess in an
      environment variable when unlocking your vault, instead of as a command
      line argument. (#7781)
- New `-D no-system-pdfjs` debug flag to ignore system-wide PDF.js installations
  for testing.
- Polyfill for missing `URL.parse` with PDF.js v5 and QtWebEngine < 6.9. Note
  this is a "best effort" fix and you should be using the "older browsers"
  ("legacy") build of PDF.js instead.

# Removed

- The `ua-slack` site-specific quirk, as things seem to work better nowadays
  without a quirk needed.
- The `ua-whatsapp` site-specific quirk, as it's unneeded with the default UA
  change described above.

# Fixed

- Crash when trying to use the `DocumentPictureInPicture` JS API, such as done
  by the new Google Workspaces Huddle feature. The API is unsupported by
  QtWebEngine and now correctly disabled on the JS side. (#8449)
- Crash when a buggy notification presenter returns a duplicate ID (now an
  error is shown instead).
- Crashes when running `:tab-move` or `:yank title` at startup, before a tab is
  available.
- Crash with `input.insert_mode.auto_load`, when closing a new tab quickly after
  opening it, but before it was fully loaded. (#3895, #8400)
- Workaround for microphone/camera permissions not being requested with
  QtWebEngine 6.9.0 on Google Meet, Zoom, or other pages using the new
  `<permission>` element. (#8539)
- Resolved issues in userscripts:
    * `qute-bitwarden` will now prompt a re-login if its cached session has
      been invalidated since last used. (#8456)
    * `qute-bitwarden`, `-lastpass` and `-pass` now avoid a
      `DeprecationWarning` from the upcoming 6.0 release of `tldextract`
