## [Unreleased]
## [3.6.0] - 2022-03-01
### Breaking
- 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
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.

It will also be placed in the `examples` directory in the documentation folder.

### 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.

### 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),
[`#2511`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2511))
- 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.
([`#2384`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2384))
- Slight changes to the value ranges the different ramp levels are responsible
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.
([`#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.
([`#2510`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2510))
- Increased the double click interval from 150ms to 400ms.
([`#2510`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2510))
- Stop ignoring actions if they arrive while the previous one hasn't been processed yet.
([`#2469`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2469),
[`#2517`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2517))
- Polybar can now be run without passing the bar name as argument given that
the configuration file only defines one bar
([`#2525`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2525),
[`#2526`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2526))
- `include-directory` and `include-file` now support relative paths. The paths
are relative to the folder of the file where those directives appear.
([`#2523`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2523),
[`#2535`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2535))
- `custom/ipc`: Empty output strings are no longer formatted. This prevents
extraneous spaces and separators from appearing in the bar when the output of
an ipc module is empty.
([`#2549`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2549))
- 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), [`#2511`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2511))
- 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. ([`#2384`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2384))
- Slight changes to the value ranges the different ramp levels are responsible 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. ([`#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. ([`#2510`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2510))
- Increased the double click interval from 150ms to 400ms. ([`#2510`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2510))
- Stop ignoring actions if they arrive while the previous one hasn't been processed yet. ([`#2469`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2469), [`#2517`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2517))
- Polybar can now be run without passing the bar name as argument given that the configuration file only defines one bar ([`#2525`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2525), [`#2526`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2526))
- `include-directory` and `include-file` now support relative paths. The paths are relative to the folder of the file where those directives appear. ([`#2523`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2523), [`#2535`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2535))
- `custom/ipc`: Empty output strings are no longer formatted. This prevents extraneous spaces and separators from appearing in the bar when the output of an ipc module is empty. ([`#2549`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2549))

Draft Release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On `GitHub <https://github.com/polybar/polybar/releases/new>`_ a new release
should be drafted.
The release targets the tip of the release branch (the release commit), the
name of the release and the tag is simply the release number.
The content of the release message should contain the changelog copied from
``CHANGELOG.md`` under the heading ``## Changelog``.
In addition using GitHub's "Auto-generate release notes" feature, the list of
new contributors should be generated and put at the end of the release notes.
The generated list of PRs can be removed.
