    Chawan 0.3.0 released

    This is the second major release of Chawan.

    Downloads:
    <https://git.sr.ht/bptato/chawan/archive/v0.3.0.tar.gz> (source tree snapshot) <https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/refs/download/v0.3.0/chawan-0-3-0-linux-amd64.tar.xz> (x64 Linux binaries)
    <https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/refs/download/v0.3.0/chawan-0-3-0-amd64.deb> (deb package)

    This version comes with a number of new features, performance improvements
    and fixes. For the full changelog, see the NEWS file.

    Also see the release announcement on the website: https://chawan.net/news/chawan-0-3-0.html

    In particular, please note the following:

    Important: for XDG base directory users, 0.3.0 has changed the place
    for storing cookies, history, known hosts and bookmarks. In previous versions, Chawan had put these in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chawan', but now it uses `$XDG_DATA_HOME/chawan'.

    Affected users should either:

    * Move their files (e.g. using this shell script:
    https://lists.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan-announce/%3CaNgt_R946cjlOZed@touya%3E)
    * Or `export CHA_DIR=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:$HOME/.config}/chawan' to restore the
    old behavior (which goes against the spec, but hey, it's your computer.)

    Users who store their configuration in $HOME/.chawan are **not** affected.


    Happy Hacking
