February 15th, 2013· Set correct window dimensions on any Xinerama screen, not just the first one (active screen is determined by current pointer location).
What's new in feh 2.8:
December 27th, 2012· Do not apply --scale-down to the thumbnail window. It will be applied to windows opened from this, though.
· Patch by Rob Cornish: Respect --image-bg when setting a wallpaper (bg-center and bg-max)

What's new in feh 2.7:
October 16th, 2012· Add --min-dim and --max-dim options to only process images with certain dimensions
September 28th, 2012· Fix segfault when doing lossless mirror/rotate and jpegexiforient is not present
September 27th, 2012· Set EXIF orientation tag to 1 ("0,0 is top left" aka normal) after running jpegtran. Previously, when doing a lossless rotate, the image was rotated but the corresponding EXIF tag not updated, resulting in wrong image display in programs aware of this EXIF tag.
· Fix spelling in feh(1)
· Compile debug builds with -O0
September 14th, 2012· Fix freedesktop.org Thumbnail Managing Standard implementation: when running feh on the current working directory, '/path/to/./image.png' was used for thumbnail name generation. Now it is always '/path/to/image.png'
· Show error message if lossless rotate / flip failed on non-JPEG image
· Show error message if -O / -o failed to save image
· Show error message if load failed and magick is disabled (was broken by feh 2.4)
What's new in feh 2.6:
August 29th, 2012· Fixes and additions in EXIF tag support.
· ImageMagick (convert) is now disabled by default; use --magick-timeout to enable it.
· The format specifiers %o (image offset), %r (image rotation), and %z (image zoom) were added.
· The deprecated --menu-style option was removed.
· --reload now accepts non-decimal values and a bug when using --filelist with .txt files was fixed.
· Also, --reload and --slideshow-delay are no longer mutually exclusive.
· When opening HTTP URLs, %f and %F will now return the URL instead of the temporary local filename.
What's new in feh 2.4:
March 7th, 2012· This version has limited support for all file types supported by ImageMagick, using the convert binary to load them (if available).
· The behaviour of --quiet and --verbose was adjusted to the documentation.
· The new %S and %P format specifiers can be used to print the image size / number of pixels in human readable form with a suffix.
What's new in feh 2.1:
November 3rd, 2011· This version fixes handling of images with very long names (mostly from HTTP URLs).
· It adds support for tiling window managers by re-applying --scale-down every time the window is resized.
What's new in feh 2.0:
October 11th, 2011· The button options -0 to -9 are no longer supported; use the new buttons configuration file instead.
· The --index-{dim,name,size} options have also been removed; use format strings with the new --index-info option instead.
· The background setting options now accept multiple filenames, so for multimonitor setups, you can specify one file per screen.
· A new %S (size in kB) format specifier has been added, and in thumbnail mode, you can now run actions on the currently-selected thumbnail.
· feh can now be compiled with stat64=1 to support CIFS shares mounted from 64bit hosts on 32bit machines.
September 27th, 2011· This version fixes a high memory consumption issue when using --reload with HTTP and two bugs related to --title-font.
September 13th, 2011· This version fixes image reload issues introduced in 1.16. Most notably, the < and > keys work as expected again.
August 17th, 2011· This version fixes a segmentation fault when clicking on a menu item introduced in 1.15.
August 15th, 2011· This version fixes various bugs related to the themes file, --reload, and saving/deleting images.
· It also adds the _ and | keys for lossless image flipping and mirroring. Alt+Up/Down/... was added for pagewise image movement.
· It is now possible to create keybindings using multiple modifiers.
May 20th, 2011· This version fixes compilation with curl=0 and makes the zoom_default key work properly when using the --geometry option.
May 12th, 2011· Thumbnail mode can now be controlled with keys: you can use next/prev to select an image and the render key to open it.
· When reading a directory, feh now reads the files in alphabetical order instead of a seemingly random order by default.
· This release also includes a bunch of bugfixes.
April 26th, 2011· The --bg options are now Xinerama-aware. That is, they set the image in the respective mode (scale/fill/max/center) on each Xinerama screen.
· Use --no-xinerama to disable this. For convenience, feh will now show all images in the current directory when invoked without file arguments.
· The --force-aliasing option was added with "A" as toggle.
· Sending SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2 in multiwindow mode reloads all imeges.
· Unloadable images with image-related escapes (%h etc) in --title no longer make feh segfault.
· The reload mechanism now immediately works (it used to take two tries).
March 14th, 2011· Add --zoom fill as equivalent for --auto-zoom
· Add --zoom max (zooming like in --bg-max)
· --menu-style is now deprecated
· http images are now viewed using libcurl, not wget (thanks to talisein) This adds libcurl as dependency, and removes the wget recommendation
· Slight build system change: make now has flags, e.g. "make xinerama=0 debug=1". By default feh is compiled with xinerama and libcurl support enabled, see README.
· Remove builtin http client (--builtin) * Fix compilation issues with libpng 1.5.1
February 10th, 2011· Use wget --no-clobber to prevent TOCTTOU-based hole allowing a well-informed attacker to rewrite arbitrary user files with images. The attacker needs to know feh's PID and the URL the user gave it. It is still possible for an attacker to _create_ arbitrary files via the same hole.
January 27th, 2011· Show correct image dimensions in for cached thumbnails
· Allow commandline options to override those set in a theme
· Remove support for FEH_OPTIONS (was deprecated >5 years ago)
· Restrict available modifiers to Control/Mod1/Mod4
January 24th, 2011· Patch by Pascal Bleser: Use getaddrinfo for builtin http client, this enables IPv6 support
· Fix zooming when --scale-down is used
· The themes are now read from ~/.config/feh/themes (BC for .fehrc exists)
· Key bindings can now be configured via ~/.config/feh/keys
· Removes --rcpath, use XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead
· Increase movement steps for Ctrl+Left etc.
· Make in/out zoom use equal zoom ratio
December 5th, 2010· Partially fix --scale-down behaviour (zooming is still broken)
· Fix buffer overflow when using --draw-actions
· Fix segfaults after trying to load several unloadable images
· Fix fehrc created by feh (contined escape errors)
October 8th, 2010· --bg-seamless has been replaced by --bg-max (like --bg-fill but with borders), which should be way more useful.
· It is now possible to display arbitrary information in the image by using the --info option.
· Minor workarounds and improvements for scrolling and Xinerama handling have been made.
· This is also the first release in which the graphical (X11) parts of feh have been tested in a number of ways.
· The test scripts and test images are included in the archive (and are the reason why it is so big compared to the previous release).
What's new in feh 1.9:
August 25th, 2010· --scale-down now somewhat works with tiling window managers.
· Zooming via keyboard has seen large improvements and can now also be done by pressing the Up/Down keys.
· Image moving is now possible with CTRL + Arrow Keys.
· A few short option aliases for long-only options were added.
· The --menu-border option was removed because it is extremely useless.
· A few image menu background images were also removed.
What's new in feh 1.8:
June 26th, 2010· This release addresses a security issue with --wget-timestamps, which passed unescaped URLs to a system() call and thus allowed arbitrary code execution.
· It also disables fullscreen mode for the --thumbnail window (but allows the setting for the images opened from that window) and disables filelist saving for thumbnail mode, which caused undefined behaviour if the user removed a file before saving. --font now sets the global font, and were improved, and feh now no longer adds "?something" to URLs before downloading them.
What's new in feh 1.7:
June 14th, 2010· Fix segfault in Thumbnail mode when trying to open a no longer existing image (e.g. when the file was renamed by a previous action)
· Set a negative slideshow-delay to start the slideshow in paused mode
· Remove Shift+Key bindings, they were doing the same as Nothing+Key anyways. Plus, I might want to bind Shift + < already used key > to other stuff in the future
· Documentation improvements
· Remove undocumented hjkl menu keys. Most of the menu options can also be accessed directly with keys, plus the number of non-qwerty users (which have no use for these shortcuts) is growing.
· Draw a nice little message when in caption editing mode with empty caption (to indicate that caption editing is actually active) * caption mode: Automatically create caption directory if it doesn't exist * Slideshow mode: SIGUSR1 = next image, SIGUSR2 = previous image
