This is the release of pqiv 2.9.

As usual, as a minor release, pqiv 2.9 comes with some new features. The most
important one for package maintainers is optional webp support through libwebp,
added by Github user @john0312. Note that webp is supported through ImageMagick
7.x as well, provided your distribution already uses this version of
ImageMagick.

For end-users, the most notable change is the new montage mode, introduced by
suggestion of @bearcatsandor and with a lot of debugging help by @noctuid in
bug #82. Montage mode (otherwise known as image grid) shows a grid of thumbnails
instead of single images, allowing for quick navigation between images. Montage
mode supports quick keyboard navigation through "follow mode" (try pressing g
in montage mode, which itself can be activated using m) and persistence of
thumbnails following the thumbnail managing standard.

Further changes:

  • Added the means to skip over "logical" directories, such as archive files
    (bound to ctrl+space and ctrl+backspace by default)
  • Improved responsivity by caching pre-scaled copies of images
  • Removed tearing/flickering in WMs without extended frame sync support
  • Fixed support for huge images (>32,767px) in the GdkPixbuf backend
  • Added option --info-box-colors to customize the colors used in the info box
  • It is now possible to view --help even if no display is available
  • Added --version
  • Added an auto scale mode that maintains window size
  • Bound Control+t to switch to "maintain scale level" by default
  • Bound Alt+t to switch to "maintain window size" by default
  • Added action move_window() to explicitly move pqiv's main window around
