polybar-3.5.0.tar.gz (sha256: 8e118859f535f10d3eaf9a3cb6979e967e5443c8967ba23531e21e23e10fc343) polybar-3.5.0.tar (sha256: e8c1798c195854852fc7c99703287294123381101b371f171d4aa540aeb17afd)

Breaking Changes:

• The new config parser imposes some restrictions on which characters can be used in section and key names. Users shouldn't be affected by, this unless they use one of the following characters in any section or key name: "'=;#[](){}:.$\% Please consult man 5 polybar for a full reference of the new config rules.
• internal/temperature: The first and last ramp element are now only used for base-temperature and below and warn-temperature and above respectively. This only slightly changes the ranges for which the different ramp levels are responsible for. (#2197)
• The actions bspwm-desknext, bspwm-deskprev, i3-wsnext, and i3-wsprev are no longer affected by the reverse-scroll setting in the bspwm or i3 module, respectively. next will always go to the right and prev will always go to the left. If you had reverse-scroll set to true (this is the default value), the actions may now be reversed for you.

Changelog

Deprecations

• [settings]: throttle-input-for has been removed. It wasn't a useful option and could cause certain actions (e.g. click commands) to be ignored. (#2117)

• All action names used by modules to handle click and scroll events are deprecated (#1907). This change mainly affects users of the menu module. Please read the documentation for instructions on how to migrate.

New Config Options

The include-directory key can be used the same as include-file and includes all regular files in the given directory.

In labels:

• label-NAME-minlen, label-NAME-alignment can be used to pad labels with spaces to the right (alignment set to left), left (alignment set to right), and both sides (alignment set to center).

In internal/backlight:

• enable-scroll enables changing the brightness through scrolling.

In internal/github:

• format-offline is used when the module cannot connect to the server.
• label-offline can be used in format-offline.
• api-url can be used to connect to a custom github enterprise instance

In internal/pulseaudio:

• click-right and click-middle can be used to execute commands when right/middle clicking.
• %decibels% token can be used in label-volume and label-muted to show the volume in decibels.

Changes To The Build System

• Allow users to specify python executable when building. (polybar/xpp#27, #2125)
• The i3ipcpp submodule no longer rebuilds jsoncpp and just uses whatever version is available. (#2015, polybar/i3ipcpp#9)

Features

• New commandline argument: -M / --list-all-monitors.
  Will display all available monitors (even cloned ones).

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

• 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)

polybar-3.3.0.tar (sha256: 647dde8fbf6690138b354bf538d1d97ba8c1743ff22314af4ee085e06a1f506a)

Breaking Changes:

• Configs with tray-transparent = true may not be transparent anymore, see #1563: Since tray-transparent is deprecated, the tray transparency is defined via the alpha channel in the tray-background color. If for example tray-background = #111111, older versions would render a fully transparent tray while version 3.3.0 will render a fully opaque tray with background color #111111. To get back the fully transparent tray, add an alpha channel to the background, in our example above, we would set tray-background = #00111111.

Changelog

In the [settings] section:
