v1.4.0 - Themeing

Major Feature

The major feature of this release is theming. You can now change any of the colors used in Amfora, using the config file. See the example config for details about how to do this.

If you'd like to support Amfora development, as well as my other Gemini projects, you can sponsor me through Ko-Fi or Github Sponsors. Thanks!

User Info

Users of Amfora do not need to make any changes to their setup. If you want to change Amfora's colors as described above, make sure you add a [theme] section to your config file, and then follow the instructions in the example config.

v1.3.0 - Downloading

Major Feature

The major feature of this release is downloading. You can press Ctrl-S on any loaded page to save it to disk, using the default Downloads folder. When Amfora tries to load a file it can't display, like an image, it will offer an option to download it.

If you'd like to support Amfora development, as well as my other Gemini projects, you can sponsor me through Ko-Fi or Github Sponsors. Thanks!

User Info

Users of Amfora should know that some configuration options have been added this release. If you were using the default configuration, the easiest thing to do is to not touch anything, and the defaults will be used for all the new options automatically.

Here are the new options, all the in a-general section:

• downloads: Specify a path to a downloads folder for Amfora to use. By default it uses $HOME/Downloads on all OSes.
• page_max_size: The max size a page can be, in bytes, before a download/cancel modal pops up. Default set to 2 MiB.
• page_max_time: The max time loading a page can take, in seconds, before a download/cancel modal pops up. Default set to 10 seconds.

See the example config for an overview of all options.

Fixed
