polybar-3.7.0.tar.gz (sha256: b8e07aca94a013341b7d47ee548afe84f519113f202300565d4852885a11e91d)

Changelog

Breaking

  • custom/script:
  • No longer hides the module if the exec command failed and did not change the output from the previous run (#2636). Somewhat similar original behaviour can be imitated with format-fail, if necessary.
  • If the exec command produced no output and exited with a non-zero exit code the module is no longer completely empty, but just has an empty %output% token. If you relied on this behavior to hide the module under certain circumstances, make sure the script exits with an exit code of zero. (#2857, #2861)

Build

  • Respect CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when installing default config (#2770, #2917)
  • Change default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr. Installations with default flags will now go into /usr instead of /usr/local (#2917)
  • Bump C++ version to C++17 (#2847)

Deprecated

  • custom/text: The content setting and all its properties are deprecated in favor of format with the same functionality. (#2676)
  • tray: All tray-related settings in the bar section are deprecated. They are replaced by the new tray module (#3002)
  • tray-position, tray-detached, tray-maxsize, tray-scale, tray-transparent, tray-background, tray-foreground, tray-padding, tray-offset-x, tray-offset-y

Added

  • A tray module with type internal/tray for positioning the tray like a module (#2689)
  • internal/temperature: %temperature-k% token displays the temperature in degrees Kelvin (#2774, #2784)
  • internal/pulseaudio: reverse-scroll option (#2664)
  • custom/script: Repeat interval for script failure (interval-fail) and exec-if (interval-if) (#943, #2606, #2630)
  • custom/ipc:
  • Added support for <label> in format (#2841) by @madhavpcm.
  • Added support for format-i for each defined hook-i (#2775, #2810) by @madhavpcm.
  • custom/text: Loads the format setting, which supports the <label> tag, if the deprecated content is not defined (#1331, #2673, #2676)
  • internal/backlight:
  • scroll-interval option (#2696, #2700)
  • poll-interval setting controls how often the module is updated (in case it does not happen when the brightness changes) (#2835, #3028)
  • internal/temperature: Added zone-type setting (#2572, #2752) by @xphoniex
  • internal/xwindow: %class% and %instance% tokens, which show the contents of the WM_CLASS property of the active window (#2830)
  • Added enable-struts option in bar section to enable/disable struts (#2769, #2844) by @VanillaViking.
  • wm-restack:
  • bottom: lowers polybar to the bottom of the window stack (same as the previous behavior of generic) (#2961)
  • ewmh: Tries to use the _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK hint to position the bar (#2961)
  • internal/xworkspaces: group-by-monitor setting to decide whether _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT should be used to group workspaces by monitor; (#2603, #2926) by @slotThe.

Changed

  • custom/script:
  • No longer produces a completely empty module if the exec command failed. It only produces an empty module if the script had a zero exit code. (#2857, #2861)
  • Bumped the script polling interval (not related to the interval setting) to decrease wakeups. Polybar may take slightly longer to shut down. #2879
  • internal/fs: Use / as a fallback if no mountpoints are specified (#2572, #2705)
  • internal/backlight:
  • Detect backlight if none specified (#2572, #2728)
  • use-actual-brightness now always defaults to true (even for amdgpu backlights) (#2835, 2839)
  • Providing a negative min-width to a token adds right-padding (#2789, #2801) by @VanillaViking.
  • Changed fuzzy match option on i3 and bspwm modules to find longest match instead of the first match (#2831, #2829) by @Ron0Studios.
  • wm-restack
  • generic: Is now a best effort combination of other restacking strategies. First tries ewmh and then the bottom strategy (#2961)
  • bspwm: Will restack above the topmost bspwm root window instead of the root window associated with the monitor polybar is on (#3019)

Fixed

  • Waiting for double click interval on modules that don't have a double click action (#2663, #2695)
  • renderer:
  • Small gaps when rendering emojis (#2785, #2802)
  • Crash when using pseudo-transparency with certain wallpapers (#2798, #2813)
  • Crash when invalid UTF-8 text is encountered (#2091, #2958)
  • config:
  • Error reporting for deprecated config values (#2724)
  • Also monitor include-files for changes when --reload is set (#675, #2759)
  • internal/xwindow: module does not crash when a tag is not provided in format (#2826, #2833) by @VanillaViking
  • internal/i3: module errors when i3 has negative gaps (#2888, #2889)
  • internal/backlight: Fix module being one step behind every update (#2835, #3028)
  • wm-restack = bspwm: bar may become unclickable if there are overlapping monitors (#2873, #2961)
