## [Unreleased]
### Breaking
Add initial support for an escape character (#2361) Add a config parser method which, for now, deals only with escaping the literal backslash character and logs an error message to inform the user of the coming change. The error message includes a properly escaped value for the user. As a result of introducing an escape character('\'): - Warn the user of any unescaped backslashes, as they will not be treated as a literal character in the future - For now, still treat a single backslash as a literal character - Treat two consecutive backslashes as a single properly escaped literal backslash Also: - Add documentation about the escape character to polybar(5) manpage - Add info about the escape character to changelog - Add testcases for ParseLineKeyTest - Add new test ParseEscapedValueTest Resolves: First step in #2354 Improve value parsing - Take value arg in as an rvalue reference and move parsed value back - Remove unnecessary if statement - Rename function - Improve error message - Improve function description - Format Add escape character documentation to manpages Add information about the escape character to the polybar(5) manpage. Add info about the esacape character to changelog Add test cases for ParseLineKeyTest Fix ParseLineKeyTest test cases Also make config parser method parse_escaped_value private. Add tests for escaped_value_parser method Also remove unsued include statement Simplify parse_escaped_value in config_parser Remove unnecessary escaped value generation, so we do not have to keep track of index differences.

- We added the backslash escape character (\\) for configuration values. This
means that the literal backslash character now has special meaning in
configuration files, therefore if you want to use it in a value as a literal
backslash, you need to escape it with the backslash escape character. The
parser logs an error if any unescaped backslashes are found in a value. This
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
affects you only if you are using two consecutive backslashes in a config
value, which will now be interpreted as a single literal backslash.
([`#2354`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2354))
- We rewrote our formatting tag parser. This shouldn't break anything, if you
experience any problems, please let us know. The new parser now gives errors
for certain invalid tags where the old parser would just silently ignore them.
Adding extra text to the end of a valid tag now produces an error. For example,
tags like `%{T-a}`, `%{T2abc}`, `%{rfoo}`, and others will now start producing
errors. This does not affect you unless you are producing your own invalid
formatting tags (for example in a script).

- For security reasons, the named pipe at `/tmp/polybar_mqueue.<PID>` had its
permission bits changed from `666` to `600` to prevent sending ipc messages
to polybar processes running under a different user.
### Build
2021-09-13 18:30:15 +00:00
- New dependency: [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv). At least version 1.3
is required.
- Bump the minimum cmake version to 3.5
- The `BUILD_IPC_MSG` option has been renamed to `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG`
- Building the documentation is now enabled by default and not just when
`sphinx-build` is found.
- Users can control exactly which targets should be available with the following
cmake options (together with their default value):
- `BUILD_POLYBAR=ON` - Builds the `polybar` executable
- `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG=ON` - Builds the `polybar-msg` executable
- `BUILD_TESTS=OFF` - Builds the test suite
- `BUILD_DOC=ON` - Builds the documentation
- `BUILD_DOC_HTML=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the html documentation (depends on `BUILD_DOC`)
- `BUILD_DOC_MAN=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the manpages (depends on `BUILD_DOC`)
- `BUILD_CONFIG=ON` - Generates the default config
2020-12-24 01:02:53 +00:00
- `BUILD_SHELL=ON` - Generates shell completion files
- `DISABLE_ALL=OFF` - Disables all above targets by default. Individual
targets can still be enabled explicitly.
- The documentation can no longer be built by directly configuring the `doc`
directory.
- The `POLYBAR_FLAGS` cmake variable can be used to pass extra C++ compiler flags.
- The sample config file has been removed.
- Polybar now ships a default config that is installed to
`/etc/polybar/config.ini`, it lives in `doc/config.ini`.
It will also be placed in the `examples` directory in the documentation folder.
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
([`#2405`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2405))
- The `userconfig` target has been removed, you can no longer use `make
userconfig`. As an alternative, you can copy the default config from
`/etc/polybar/config.ini`.
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
- The `DEBUG_SHADED` cmake variable and its associated functionality has been
removed.
### Deprecated
- `[settings]`: `throttle-output` and `throttle-output-for` have been removed.
The new event loop already does a similar thing where it coalesces update
triggers if they happen directly after one another, leading to only a single
bar update.
- When not specifying the config file with `--config`, naming your config file
`config` is deprecated. Rename your config file to `config.ini`.

- Directly writing ipc messages to `/tmp/polybar_mqueue.<PID>` is deprecated,
users should always use `polybar-msg`. As a consequence the message format
used for IPC is deprecated as well.
- `polybar-msg hook` is deprecated in favor of using the hook action.
`polybar-msg` will tell you the correct command to use.
### Added
Add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) (#2578) * add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) for polybar - add a size_with_unit struct - add a geometry_format_values struct - move dpi initialisation from renderer.cpp to bar.cpp - add a string to size_with_unit converter - add point support (with pt) - add pixel support (with px) * Fix unit test compilation * clang-format * Better names The old names didn't really capture the purpose of the structs and function. space_type -> spacing_type space_size -> spacing_val size_type -> extent_type geometry -> extent_val geometry_format_values -> percentage_with_offset * Remove parse_size_with_unit No longer needed. The convert<spacing_val> function in config.cpp already does all the work for us and always setting the type to pixel was wrong. In addition, line-size should not be of type spacing_val but extent_val. * Cleanup I tried to address most of my comments on the old PR * Fix renderer width calculation We can't just blindly add the x difference to the width because for example the width should increase if x < width and the increase keeps x < width. Similarly, we can't just add the offset to the width. * Rename geom_format_to_pixels to percentage_with_offset_to_pixel * Cleanup * Apply suggested changes from Patrick on GitHub Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/bar.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/config.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/builder.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/builder.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * config: Use stod for parsing percentage * Use stof instead of strtof * units: Fix test edge cases * Remove unnecessary clang-format toggle * Use percentage_with_offset for margin-{top,bottom} * Support negative extent values * Rename unit to units and create a cpp file * Move percentage_with_offset_to_pixel unit test to units * Add unit tests for units_utils * Clarify when and how negative spacing/extent is allowed Negative spacing is never allowed and produces a config error. Extents allow negative values in theory, but only a few use-cases accept it. Only the extent value used for the `%{O}` tag and the offset value in percentage_with_offset can be negative. Everything else is capped below at 0. The final pixel value of percentage_with_offset also caps below at 0. * Fix parsing errors not being caught in config * Print a proper error message for uncaught exceptions * Cleanup module::get_output All changes preserve the existing semantics * Stop using remove_trailing_space in module::get_output Instead, we first check if the current tag is built, and only if it is, the spacing is prepended. * Remove unused imports * Restore old behavior If there are two tags and the second one isn't built (module::build returns false), the space in between them is removed. For example in the mpd module: format-online = <toggle> <label-song> foo If mpd is not running, the mpd module will return false when trying to build the `<label-song>` tag. If we don't remove the space between `<toggle>` and `<label-song>`, we end up with two spaces between `<toggle>` and `foo`. This change is to match the old behavior where at least one trailing space character was removed from the builder. * Add changelog entry * Remove unused setting * Use percentage with offset for tray-offset Co-authored-by: Jérôme BOULMIER <jerome.boulmier@outlook.fr> Co-authored-by: Joe Groocock <github@frebib.net>
2022-02-20 20:08:57 +00:00

- `polybar-msg`:
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
- For module actions, you can now also specify the module name,
action name, and optional data as separate arguments.
([`#2539`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2539))
- Added man page: `man 1 polybar-msg`

### Changed
- Polybar now also reads `config.ini` when searching for config files.

([`#2323`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2323),
[`#2324`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2324))
- Polybar additionally searches in `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/polybar/config.ini` (or
`/etc/xdg/polybar/config.ini` if it is not set) and `/etc/polybar/config.ini` for config files.
([`#2016`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2016),

2021-09-13 18:30:15 +00:00
- We rewrote polybar's main event loop. This shouldn't change any behavior for
the user, but be on the lookout for X events, click events, or ipc messages
not arriving and the bar not shutting down/restarting properly and let us
know if you find any issues.
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
([`#2384`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2384))
- Slight changes to the value ranges the different ramp levels are responsible
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
for in the cpu, memory, fs, and battery modules. The first level is used for
everything at and below the start of the value range and the last level for
everything at and above the end of the value range. The other levels are
evenly distributed over the value range as before. The value range is bounded
by the new warning thresholds.
([`#2199`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2199))
- `custom/script`: `interval` now defaults to 0 if `tail = true` as per the
documentation.
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
([`#2240`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2240))
- `internal/network`: Increased precision for upload and download speeds: 0 decimal places for
KB/s (as before), 1 for MB/s and 2 for GB/s.
([`#2054`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2054))
- Clicks arriving in close succession, no longer get dropped. Before polybar
would drop any click that arrived within 5ms of the previous one.
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
([`#2510`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2510))
- Increased the double click interval from 150ms to 400ms.
2022-02-22 17:29:56 +00:00
([`#2510`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2510))
- Stop ignoring actions if they arrive while the previous one hasn't been processed yet.

The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available (#2429) * The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available Before this change if EWMH wasn't available the xworkspaces module was permanently disabled. When polybar was started alongside the window manager e.g. from .xinitrc this caused a race condition between polybar and the window manager and the xworkspaces module may or may not be displayed. After this change polybar will wait for EWMH to become available. This change closes #1915, see that issue for more details. Curiously this only required the removal of the error condition which used the be raised when EWMH wasn't available. The xworkspaces module will show up on the bar as soon as the first EWMH event is processed by the existing event handling code. I can't argue much about the correctness of this patch but it seems to work flawlessly in my testing with xmonad. I didn't test any other window managers. Note that removing the error condition below which checks that _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT is available might make this work with pin-workspaces=true. I couldn't test the effects of that change because I only tested with xmonad and xmonad doesn't support _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, so I didn't make that change. * xworkspaces: Remove check fo _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT Implementations that don't support it will just return an empty list for get_desktop_viewports and pin-workspaces won't do anything. * Update changelog Fixes #1915 Co-authored-by: Tim Schumacher <tim@timakro.de> Co-authored-by: patrick96 <p.ziegler96@gmail.com>
2021-10-11 12:40:14 +00:00
