The binary is not needed to compile and run polybar with pulseaudio
support. Though of course there is no use in having a pulse module when
you don't have pulseaudio installed.
In the AUR optdepends means that the package can run without optdepends
installed. In polybar most features, if enabled at compile time, cannot
run without their dependencies and will crash polybar. Now the
optdepends only contains truly optional dependencies.
Polybar can run without the i3-wm package because it only relies on the
`i3` executable and is not dynamically linked against any library in i3.
### 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`
**Deprecations**
* `tray-transparent` in the bar section is no longer used. The tray now always uses pseudo-transparency

version.sh is supposed to set the GIT_TAG macro in version.hpp to the
output of 'git describe ...', however it uses relative paths and can't
find 'include/version.hpp'
'include/CMakeLists.txt' already has the same functionality so this is
not needed
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)

The SRCINFO files should be generated from the PKGBUILDs using
`makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO` anyways. It doesn't make sense to
keep a copy in this repo
