Whenever a release is published, this action will create a release
archive and update the release body with a download section.
This also integrates the suggestions from #2276Resolves#2276
The Gitter room https://gitter.im/polybar/polybar should serve a similar
purpose as the IRC room with the benefit that messages persist and can
be received when offline.
From now on gitter should be the place where the polybar community
lives. Reddit is great for asking longer questions in the style of a
forum but not so great for quick back and forth conversations. IRC is
better in that aspect but has the serious downside that you have to stay
connected to get an answer and messages are not logged (only by your
client).
Both reddit and IRC are here to stay and I will still check them
regularly, but we should encourage people to join gitter.
The issue tracker should be for bugs only. Right now actual bugs can
easily fall through the cracks because we get stuck answering questions
and basically providing tech support.
This move is also intended to have more traffic to our subreddit and IRC
channel with the hope that the community can also help itself out.
* Update readme on installing example config
IF you isntall via a package manager, it's a bit trickier to get the default config, I found myself reading the sourcecode for the makefile to figure out where it came from.
On arch, at least, a copy is stored in `/usr/share/doc/polybar/config`, I assume this is the same for most distros, so I figured i'd add that snippet to the readme
* Make requested changes
### Breaking Changes:
None
### Changelog
**New Config Options**
The following config options were added
In the `[settings]` section:
* `pseudo-transparency`
In `internal/cpu`:
* `ramp-coreload-spacing`, spacing between elements in `<ramp-coreload>` elements
* `%percentage-sum%` in `label`. Shows sum of all percentages
In `custom/script`:
* `double-click-left`
* `double-click-middle`
* `double-click-right`
In `internal/pulseaudio`:
* `interval`, volume increase and decrease steps in percentage points
In `internal/memory`:
* `bar-swap-used`
* `bar-swap-free`
* `ramp-swap-used`
* `ramp-swap-free`

This patch enables support for nl80211. In case the libnl-genl-3.0
library isn't found, it will fall back to Wext instead.
The library to use can also be manually set with the CMake option
WITH_LIBNL.
The Wireless-Extensions (WE or Wext) are deprecated and long replaced
by cfg80211.
Although Wext isn't used by WiFi drivers anymore, CFG80211_WEXT allows
old tools to communicate with modern drivers by providing a wrapper
API.
Breaking Changes:
* Date module no longer supports non-padded specifiers (i.e. `%-d`) and potentially other specifiers, see #792
- Check http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/manip/put_time to see supported specifiers
* Setting background color to `background-0` with gradients (refer to https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/wiki/Known-Issues)
