<h1 class="title">Nyxt 2 Pre-release 1</h1>
</header>
<p>If the above title was confusing, don't worry, you're not alone :-). We are happy to announce the first pre-release of Nyxt version 2.0.0.</p>
<p>Nyxt 2 is a massive overhaul of the Nyxt 1 series. A lot of effort has been geared towards improving the code quality under the hood which should reflect on the overall user experience with better performance, increased stability and better accessibility.</p>
<p>This is a test release for everyone to try out before the final release. It contains experimental features and some parts are still unfinished. Please feel free to share your feedback on our <a href="https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues">GitHub issue tracker</a>!</p>
<p>Notable highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the new <code>auto-mode</code> to automatically load a configured set of modes for matching URLs and predicates. For instance, Nyxt can automatically enable proxy-mode when navigating to Wikipedia and disable it otherwise.</li>
<li>Use the new <code>autofill</code> command to insert predefined or computed content in text fields, such as the current date. You can use this to speed up filling of forms.</li>
<li>Support for <code>data-profiles</code>. Data profiles help you customize data separation easily and flexibly, e.g. a &quot;work&quot; instance of Nyxt may use different cookies but the same bookmarks as the &quot;personal&quot; instance.</li>
<li>New <code>--script</code> command line option that can be used in shabangs to write &quot;Nyxt scripts.&quot;</li>
<li>New <code>lisp-repl</code> command to evaluate Lisp, introspect and modify Nyxt while it's running, from the browser itself!</li>
<li>Built-in <code>tutorial</code> and <code>manual</code> commands.</li>
<li>New documentation commands: <code>describe-function</code>, <code>describe-slot</code>, <code>describe-class</code>, <code>describe-key</code>, <code>describe-bindings</code>. These commands allow you to quickly introspect any part of Nyxt.</li>
<li>Improved macOS performance with support for Quartz renderer. No more dependency on XQuartz.</li>
<li>No more D-Bus. We've moved to direct web renderer bindings (leveraging the CFFI library), and the responsiveness of the Nyxt interface is better than ever!</li>
<li>Built-in spell checker/suggestions.</li>
</ul>
<p>For the complete change list, please consult the <a href="https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/blob/14ad9eb1d835950257d031e78126625546ebe996/documents/CHANGELOG.org#2-pre-release-1">CHANGELOG.org</a> file.</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy these new features, and that they help make you more productive. Thanks for reading :-)</p>
