0.5.0

Change Log

• Discontinued support for Emacs 23 and the discontinued package archive Marmalade.
• Visited links are now marked and fontified as such by default.
  • To stop visually distinguishing links that have been visited, set hackernews-show-visited-links to nil.
  • The history of visited links is stored in the file hackernews-visited-links-file, which defaults to ~/.emacs.d/hackernews/visited-links.el and is updated when Emacs is killed. Set this user option to nil to disable visited link tracking altogether.
  • New faces hackernews-link-visited and hackernews-comment-count-visited for visited story and comment count links, respectively.
  • Links can be marked or unmarked as visited with the new commands hackernews-button-mark-as-visited and hackernews-button-mark-as-unvisited bound to r and R by default, respectively.
  • The new command hackernews-load-visited-links reloads the visited link information stored in hackernews-visited-links-file, in case it diverged from what the running Emacs instance knows for whatever reason.
• Added support for bug-reference-mode in the project's dir-locals-file.
• Added support for native JSON parsing in Emacs 27.
• The hackernews-link face no longer defaults to a green foreground.
• New user option hackernews-internal-browser-function for specifying how to browse URLs within Emacs.
• Fixed a bug where hackernews-title-format was not heeded.
