## [Unreleased]
### Breaking
Add initial support for an escape character (#2361) Add a config parser method which, for now, deals only with escaping the literal backslash character and logs an error message to inform the user of the coming change. The error message includes a properly escaped value for the user. As a result of introducing an escape character('\'): - Warn the user of any unescaped backslashes, as they will not be treated as a literal character in the future - For now, still treat a single backslash as a literal character - Treat two consecutive backslashes as a single properly escaped literal backslash Also: - Add documentation about the escape character to polybar(5) manpage - Add info about the escape character to changelog - Add testcases for ParseLineKeyTest - Add new test ParseEscapedValueTest Resolves: First step in #2354 Improve value parsing - Take value arg in as an rvalue reference and move parsed value back - Remove unnecessary if statement - Rename function - Improve error message - Improve function description - Format Add escape character documentation to manpages Add information about the escape character to the polybar(5) manpage.

- 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 value,
which will now be interpreted as a single literal backslash.
[`#2354`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2354)
- We rewrote our 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 formatting tags
(for example in a script) and you are using one of these invalid tags.
### Build
- Bump the minimum cmake version to 3.5
- The `BUILD_IPC_MSG` option has been renamed to `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG`
- Building the documentation is now enabled by default and not just when
`sphinx-build` is found.
- Users can control exactly which targets should be available with the following
cmake options (together with their default value):
- `BUILD_POLYBAR=ON` - Builds the `polybar` executable
- `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG=ON` - Builds the `polybar-msg` executable
- `BUILD_TESTS=OFF` - Builds the test suite
- `BUILD_DOC=ON` - Builds the documentation
- `BUILD_DOC_HTML=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the html documentation (depends on `BUILD_DOC`)
- `BUILD_DOC_MAN=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the manpages (depends on `BUILD_DOC`)
2020-12-24 01:02:53 +00:00
- `BUILD_CONFIG=ON` - Generates sample config
- `BUILD_SHELL=ON` - Generates shell completion files
- `DISABLE_ALL=OFF` - Disables all above targets by default. Individual
targets can still be enabled explicitly.
- The documentation can no longer be built by directly configuring the `doc`
directory.
2020-12-24 01:02:53 +00:00
- The sample config file is now placed in the `generated-sources` folder inside
whatever folder you invoked `cmake` from instead of in the root folder of the
repository.
### Added
- Option to always show urgent windows in i3 module when `pin-workspace` is active
([`2374`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2374))
- `internal/xworkspaces`: `reverse-scroll` can be used to reverse the scroll
direction when cycling through desktops.

- The backslash escape character (\\).
[`#2354`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2354)
- Warn states for the cpu, memory, fs, and battery modules.
([`#570`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/570),
[`#956`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/956),
[`#1871`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/1871),
[`#2141`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2141))
- `internal/battery`: `format-low`, `label-low`, `animation-low`, `low-at = 10`.
- `internal/cpu`: `format-warn`, `label-warn`, `warn-percentage = 80`
- `internal/fs`: `format-warn`, `label-warn`, `warn-percentage = 90`
- `internal/memory`: `format-warn`, `label-warn`, `warn-percentage = 90`
- Per-corner corner radius with `radius-{bottom,top}-{left,right}`
([`#2294`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2294))
- `internal/network`: `speed-unit = B/s` can be used to customize how network
speeds are displayed.
- `internal/xkeyboard`: `%variant%` can be used to parse the layout variant
([`#316`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/316))
- Added .ini extension check to the default config search.
([`#2323`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2323))
- IPC commands to change visibility of modules
(`hide.<name>`, `show.<name>`, and `toggle.<name>`)
([`#2108`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2108))
- Config option to hide a certain module
(`hidden = false`)
([`#2108`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2108))
- `internal/xworkspaces`: Make the urgent hint persistent
([`#1081`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/1081))
2021-01-03 10:48:15 +00:00
- `internal/network`: `interface-type` may be used in place of `interface` to
automatically select a network interface

([`#604`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/604))
### Changed
- Slight changes to the value ranges the different ramp levels are responsible
for in the cpu, memory, fs, and battery modules. The first and last level are
only used for everything at or below and at and above the edges of the value
range, respectively. The other levels are evenly distributed over the value
range as before.
- `custom/script`: `interval` now defaults to 0 if `tail = true` as per the
documentation.
- `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.
### Fixed
- Trailing space after the layout label when indicators are empty and made sure right amount
of spacing is added between the indicator labels, in the xkeyboard module.
([`#2292`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2292))
- Parser error if click command contained `}`
