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:
* In the `internal/memory` module all of the megabyte values no longer have decimal places (#1606).
Changelog
**New Config Options**
The following config options were added:
In the `[bar/*]` section:
* `monitor-exact`, use exact name matching for monitors otherwise ignore dashes.
In formats:
* `format-NAME-font` to set the font for that format (same as `label-NAME-font`)
In `internal/bspwm`:
* `label-marked` for the new `marked` node flag introduced in baskerville/bspwm@d0138af
In `internal/xkeyboard`:
* `label-indicator-(on|off)` is used once for every indicator (caps lock, etc.), supports `%name%` and `%icon%`
* `label-indicator-(on|off)-(capslock|numlock|scrolllock)` overwrites `label-indicator-(on|off)` for the given indicator
* `layout-icon-*` is a list that maps layout names to icons to be used with the `%icon%` token in `label-layout`
* `indicator-icon-*` is a list that maps indicator names to icons to be used with the `%icon%` token in `label-indicator-*`
In `internal/temperature`:
* `base-temperature` is the counterpart to `warn-temperature` and controls the lower bound for the ramp.
**Deprecations**
* xkeyboard: `label-indicator` is deprecated in favor of the new `label-indicator-on`
**Features**
* bar:
* make exact monitor matching configurable (#1533), see #1532
* `border-size` now supports the same mixed percentage/pixel sizes as `width` and `height` (#1592), see #1567
* Use primary monitor if no monitor is specified (#1426), #1412
* bspwm: Support for the new `marked` node flag. (#1557), see #1552
* format: Formats now support the `-font` property just as labels (#1602), see #19
* network: Support for all tokens in all labels (#1597)
* xkeyboard: Indicator names can be customized. Also adds icon mappings for layouts and indicators (#1559, #1048), see #1558
* temperature: The ramp now starts at `base-temperature` instead of 0°C (#1706), see #1703
* battery: `%percentage_raw%` token that displays the real percentage regardless of `full-at` (#1756), see #1753
**Fixes**
* network: Display `N/A` when no IPv4 address can be found (#1597)
* xworkspaces: Properly handle when desktops are removed from `_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES` (#1713), see #1710
* backlight: Read the right brightness value (#1689), see #1180
* pulseaudio: Allow volume increase when it is close to the maximum. Before it did not allow that when adding `interval` would go over the max. (#1765)
* i3: fix workspace change for workspaces with special characters in the name (#1798), see #1797
* font: Characters no longer vanish when the `size` or `pixelsize` property is 0 (#1646)
* build:
* Compilation error under gcc9 (#1729), see #1728
* Compilation no longer fails when new flags are introduced that produce new warnings (#1735)
* Use GNUInstallDirs instead of hardcoded paths
This change should be a no-op in the normal case and at the same time make it
easier to customise polybar builds on systems with special needs.
* Avoid creating /usr/share/doc/polybar/polybar/*
* Include GNUInstallDirs for the doc target itself
* cmake: Don't try to set CMAKE_INSTALL_* variables
Since we include GNUInstallDirs all these variables are already set
* cmake: Print install directories in summary
* fix(cmake): Make doc-only work like normal build
This is kind of a dirty hack to force CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR to use
`polybar` as the project name when only polybar-doc is built.
Maybe it is wiser at some point to be able to do a doc only build (and
install) that can be done from the top level project. Then we would also
not need to include GNUInstallDirs here
Originally the size function returned the scaled `size` property for
scalable fonts and the non-scaled `pixelsize` property for non-scalable
fonts. This caused lots of issues when that property was 0 (empty bars,
characters not drawn without warning, see references at the bottom).
This behavior was mostly observed on debian where `size` is set to 0 if
`pixelsize` is set.
We now try to use both properties for both types, but prefering `size`
for scalable fonts and `pixelsize` for non-scalable ones.
This behavior doesn't break existing correct behavior but now never
returns 0. It will always try to fall back to the other property or to
some fallback value if both properties are 0.
I originally thought this could also make font patterns more expressive
by being able to specify the size of scalable fonts directly in pixels
like so:
Unifont:size=0:pixelsize=20
or to scale non-scalable fonts by forcing polybar to fall back to the
`size` property (which is always scaled):
Wuncon Siji:pixelsize=0:size=20
But how these two patterns are matched by `fc-match` depends both on the
font and on the distro/fontconfig setup.

I don't know the original intention behind this but it clutters up debug
traces and basically makes ccache useless.
The only benefit it has, giving version info in stacktraces, is kind of
void since we already ask for version information on github issues.
Previously, when volume was in close proximity to n_max_volume, a larger
increase would not do anything. After this patch, volume is set to
m_max_volume in such scenarios. If the volume already is at
n_max_volume, we mirror the old behavior and emit a warning.
So, for example, consider m_max_volume was 100%, but the volume prior
to the increase was 96%. An increase of 5% would do nothing (emit a
warning, even) instead of setting the volume to 100%.
Note that this might happen even if the volume is at 95% according to
%percentage% due to rounding errors.
Displays real percentage instead of being set to 100 if percentage > full-at
* battery: added percentage_raw token, which ignores full-at
* battery: current_percentage returns raw, added clamping function instead
* battery: clamp percentage used by build()
Made clamp_percentage() const to allow its usage inside build()
* battery: read and return percentage in one line
Whenever a new gcc version is released that introduces new warnings,
this breaks lots of builds on the user's side. This change pushes the
detection of these new warnings a bit back until either a user reports
warnings or developers get the new compiler updates. I think this is a
good tradeoff since release builds are no longer totally broken as soon
as a new compiler version comes out.
Travis still uses -Werror because there we actually want builds to fail.
The polybar executable with RelWithDebInfo gets over 100MB. And there
really isn't any reason to have users install such huge executables.
Release build type gives you approx. 3.6M executables
Fixes#1497
Fixes compilation under GCC 9
The default copy constructor implicit generation is deprecated by C++ standard.
The window& operator=(const xcb_window_t win); operator seems to be useless.
Fixes#1728
Ref jaagr/xpp#16
As the kernel documentation said:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight
This file will also show the brightness level stored in the driver, which may not be the actual brightness (see actual_brightness).
Therefore the brightness value should be read in the actual_brightness file.
Fix#1180
rtd scans the project for a conf.py file so we cannot name it conf.py.in
unless we get rtd to run cmake before building.
The easier option is to have doc/conf.py be the file used by rtd and all
other builds use cmake to first configure it.
This also moves the doc generation completely into cmake (no more
Makefile).
To generate the docs the project needs to first be configured and then
`make doc` can be run.
The approach used is leaned on the cmake's project own use of Sphinx:
Utilities/Sphinx/CMakeLists.txt
