This chapter documents the major changes introduced by Elpher releases.
@section v3.2.0
@section v3.2.0
+This version introduces several minor changes which, together, make it
+possible to set up alternative start pages configured to your liking.
+
@subsection About pages
@subsection About pages
+Special elpher pages such as the welcome page (previously ``start''
+page), the bookmarks page, the browsing history stack and list of
+visited pages are now addressible via @samp{about:} URLs. For instance,
+the standard welcome page has the address @samp{about:welcome}.
+
@subsection Local files
@subsection Local files
+Local files can now be opened in elpher using @samp{file:} URLs. For
+example, @kbd{g @samp{file:~/my-start.gmi}} will open
+@samp{~/my-start.gmi} as a text/gemini document. @pxref{Local files}
+for details.
+
@subsection Customizable start pages
@subsection Customizable start pages
+The new customization variable @code{elpher-start-page} contains the URL
+of the document to be loaded as elpher's ``start page''. By default
+this is set to @samp{about:welcome}, but any elpher-accessible URL is
+valid. @pxref{Customization} for suggestions.
