MultipleImageStrategy::update() and handleClick() ran util::command::exec
(a blocking fork+exec+read) on the GTK main thread, so the whole bar froze
for the script's duration on every interval and on every click.
Move the exec into a new IStrategy::fetch() hook that the SleeperThread
worker runs before dp.emit(); update() now only parses the cached output
and draws on the main thread (mirroring how custom.cpp separates exec from
formatting). handleClick() uses forkExec() so clicks fire-and-forget instead
of blocking on the command's output. The entries and single-image paths are
unchanged.
The HiDPI code path builds a cairo surface from the pixbuf via
Gdk::Cairo::create_surface_from_pixbuf(pixbuf, scale, image_.get_window()),
which requires a realized Gtk::Image. During startup an image module can
run its first update() before the widget is realized, so get_window()
returns a null Gdk::Window and that path aborts before anything is
logged. The more image modules are configured, the more likely at least
one updates before realization, which is why >2 images reliably kills
startup.
Guard on get_window(): only take the surface path when a window is
available, otherwise fall back to image_.set(pixbuf) (the pre-HiDPI
behavior). This keeps HiDPI crispness once realized and never crashes at
startup.
Fixes#5051.
Post-0.15.0 review of the 0.15.0..HEAD range surfaced regressions and
bugs. This restores backward compatibility for existing configs/CSS,
fixes confirmed defects, and repairs the scdoc man-page build break on
master. Pango-markup tooltips are intentional and were kept.
Backward-compat restorations:
- AModule: honor legacy numeric Gdk::CursorType cursor values (int overload)
- memory: correct GiB divisor (was ~2.3% low); round bare {} placeholders
- wireplumber: scale max-volume into the linear domain so the cap works again
- idle_inhibitor: gate right/middle-click deactivate & scroll on dynamic-timeouts;
accept both dynamic-timeout(s); widen timeout to double (no fractional truncation)
- custom: keep #custom-<name>.<class> CSS selectors working (classes on box_)
- image: don't wordexp-split a single path; fall back to the literal path
- niri/window: restore hide-when-empty (new show-empty opt-in); escape tooltip
- wlr/taskbar: plain-text tooltip when markup is disabled
Bug fixes:
- tray: fix use-after-free in onAdd; guard the watcher retry timeout
- hyprland: clamp max-windows iterator (OOB); drop duplicate language tooltip block
- niri/window: supply {col}/{max_col} args in the empty branch (fmt::format_error)
- mpris: escape {dynamic}/{player} tooltip; fix dangling player; albumArtist source
- mango: fix use-after-free race (dispatch under callback_mutex_)
- mpd: contain throwing checkErrors in noexcept idle paths (no std::terminate/UAF)
- keyboard_state: always render every lock label, with guarded defaults
- bluetooth: bound GATT ReadValue timeout, opt-in + services-resolved gating,
preserve authoritative Battery1 percentage
- wireplumber: fix WpDevice reference leak / NULL handling
- battery, clock, dwl, wayfire, graph, custom_graph, transform, river: assorted
crash/logic fixes
Man page / build:
- niri-workspaces: fix scdoc "indented by an amount greater than 1"
(workspace-taskbar sub-options were mis-indented; breaks man-page build)
- document new show-empty (niri/window); correct network {txBitrate}/{rxBitrate}
Not compiled locally (no gtkmm on this host); C++ build relies on CI.
Man pages validated with scdoc 1.11.4.

PR #4390 enabled millisecond intervals but changed image interval parsing so a missing interval could resolve to 1ms. That creates a hot update loop and can spike CPU and destabilize rendering in drawer/group setups (issue #4835).
Use explicit semantics: missing, null, non-numeric, or <=0 interval is treated as "once" (max sleep), while positive numeric values still support ms precision with a 1ms floor. This keeps the intended feature (sub-second polling when requested) without defaulting to busy looping.
Also align waybar-image(5) docs with runtime behavior.

Changed approach per maintainer feedback - instead of caching signal values,
just add isInt() check before accessing config_["signal"].asInt() in refresh()
methods. This is simpler and more minimal.

Cache signal value during module construction to avoid accessing JSON config
in signal handler context. This prevents crashes when signal field is missing
or not an integer type.
- Custom module: Cache signal_ value in constructor
- Image module: Cache signal_ value in constructor
- Both modules: Use cached value in refresh() method

Previously, the only way to select all the module labels was with the
following kind of selector:
```css
.modules-left > widget > label,
.modules-center > widget > label,
.modules-right > widget > label {
/* ... */
}
```
(and a matching block for the `box` containers).
Now, this can be expressed as
```css
label.module, box.module {
/* ... */
}
```
