Though in this release we only have a few new user-facing features, we've succeeded in stabilizing the GNU/Linux port, which should now be much more usable as a daily driver.
About Next: Next is a keyboard-oriented, extensible web-browser designed for power users. The application has familiar key-bindings (Emacs-style for now, VI-style bindings are planned) and is fully configurable and extensible in Lisp. Hack your browser live while it runs!
Beta warning: Some important features are in still in the making, among other VI bindings, a download manager and ad-blocking.
Future work:
- We are exploring a QtWebengine backend (based on Blink), which would allow us to extend operating system support while at the same time offering a different web renderer for the user to choose from.
- The Lisp core now intercepts all network events which already allows for programmable network filtering (think ad-blocking and tailored Javascript blocking). This is a promising first step towards a lot of exciting features!
