New in Falkon 23.04.0 (May 16, 2023)
- KWallet:
- The format under which the passwords are stored has changed from Binary to Map. The passwords can now be viewed from within KWalletManager and even edited. While editing and adding new ones I would be careful with the data field and updated that as well. (This is some Falkon password internal mechanic) The Folder under which the passwords are stored changed from Falkon to FalkonPasswords. This was done to not overwrite the old passwords and potentialy ruin them during the migration to new format.
- Support for dark color scheme:
- Falkon internal pages now respect the dark color scheme, if it is forced through chromium flags in environment variable.
- A small demonstration can be seen below. The color scheme might not be the best since it was designed on display with weird color settings.

- Look for spellchecking dictionaries at location specified by QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH environment variable
