  • 1.8.0
    Release 1.8.0
    
    Added
    -----
    
    * ramp: can now have custom min and max values
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/103).
    * border: new decoration.
    * i3/sway: new boolean tag: `empty`
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/139).
    * mem: a module handling system memory monitoring
    * cpu: a module offering cpu usage monitoring
    * removables: support for audio CDs
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/146).
    * removables: new boolean tag: `audio`.
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * fcft >= 3.0 is now required.
    * Made `libmpdclient` an optional dependency
    * battery: unknown battery states are now mapped to ‘unknown’, instead
      of ‘discharging’.
    * Wayland: the bar no longer exits when the monitor is
      disabled/unplugged (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/106).
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * `left-margin` and `right-margin` from being rejected as invalid
      options.
    * Crash when `udev_monitor_receive_device()` returned `NULL`. This
      affected the “backlight”, “battery” and “removables” modules
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/109).
    * foreign-toplevel: update bar when a top-level is closed.
    * Bar not being mapped on an output before at least one module has
      “refreshed” it (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/116).
    * network: failure to retrieve wireless attributes (SSID, RX/TX
      bitrate, signal strength etc).
    * Integer options that were supposed to be >= 0 were incorrectly
      allowed, leading to various bad things; including yambar crashing,
      or worse, the compositor crashing
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/129).
    * kib/kb, mib/mb and gib/gb formatters were inverted.

    Added
    -----
    
    * i3: `persistent` attribute, allowing persistent workspaces
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/72).
    * bar: `border.{left,right,top,bottom}-width`, allowing the width of
      each side of the border to be configured
      individually. `border.width` is now a short-hand for setting all
      four borders to the same value
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/77).
    * bar: `layer: top|bottom`, allowing the layer which the bar is
      rendered on to be changed. Wayland only - ignored on X11.
    * river: `all-monitors: false|true`.

      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/84).
    * river: support for the river-status protocol, version 2 (‘urgent’
      views).
    * `online` tag to the `alsa` module.
    * alsa: `volume` and `muted` options, allowing you to configure which
      channels to use as source for the volume level and muted state.
    * foreign-toplevel: Wayland module that provides information about
      currently opened windows.
    * alsa: support for capture devices.
    * network: `ssid`, `signal`, `rx-bitrate` and `rx-bitrate` tags.
    * network: `poll-interval` option (for the new `signal` and
      `*-bitrate` tags).
    * tags: percentage formatter, for range tags: `{tag_name:%}`.
    * tags: percentage tag formatter, for range tags: `{tag_name:%}`.
    * tags: kb/mb/gb, and kib/mib/gib tag formatters.
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * bar: do not add `spacing` around empty (zero-width) modules.
    * alsa: do not error out if we fail to connect to the ALSA device, or
      if we get disconnected. Instead, keep retrying until we succeed
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/86).
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * `yambar --backend=wayland` always erroring out with _”yambar was
      compiled without the Wayland backend”_.
    * Regression: `{where}` tag not being expanded in progress-bar
      `on-click` handlers.
    * `alsa` module causing yambar to use 100% CPU if the ALSA device is
      disconnected (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/61).

    * Support for middle and right mouse buttons, mouse wheel and trackpad
      scrolling (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/39).
    * script: polling mode. See the new `poll-interval` option
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/67).
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * doc: split up **yambar-modules**(5) into multiple man pages, one for
      each module (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/15).
    * fcft >= 2.4.0 is now required.
    * sway-xkb: non-keyboard inputs are now ignored
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/51).
    * battery: don’t terminate (causing last status to “freeze”) when
      failing to update; retry again later
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/44).
    * battery: differentiate "Not Charging" and "Discharging" in state
      tag of battery module.
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/57).
    * string: use HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS instead of three regular periods
      when truncating a string
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/73).
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Crash when merging non-dictionary anchors in the YAML configuration
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/32).
    * Crash in the `ramp` particle when the tag’s value was out-of-bounds
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/45).
    * Crash when a string particle contained `{}`
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/48).
    * `script` module rejecting range tag end values containing the digit
      `9` (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/60).

    * i3: `sort` configuration option, that controls how the workspace
      list is sorted. Can be set to one of `none`, `ascending` or
      `descending`. Default is `none`
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/17).
