* Adopt keep a changelog
Ref: https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/
* Add changelog to release and contributing docs
* Use H2 for automatically added Download section
The individual changelog subsections use H3 and the changelog section
uses H2, so the Download section should use the same heading
* Add already present changes to changelog
* Mention changelog issue references in CONTRIBUTING.md
Codecov would add code comments (annotations) to PR diffs whenever a
line was not covered by tests. This isn't really useful to us right now
and just produces noise.
The change in #2270 accidentally broke how we access module types.
module<Impl>::TYPE always points to the module superclass and it thus
accesses its empty TYPE field.
This mainly broke legacy action handling.
Ref #2270
Since the forked processes are still our children, we need to wait on
them, otherwise they become zombie processes.
We now fork twice, let the first fork immediately return and wait on it.
This reparents the second fork, which runs the actual code, to the init
process which then collects it.
Ref #770
For some reason when passing some non-const strings to convert, the
convert(T&& arg) method was used instead of the one specialized for
strings.
This caused an error in clang because you can't pass objects with
non-trivial types to varargs functions.
The best solution I found was to just add a specialized function for
non-const strings.
This was a backwards-incompatible change introduced in #2199, however it
was caused because `module_formatter.has` throws an exception when the
format doesn't exist instead of just returning false.
Fixes#2262
Ref #2199
Whenever a release is published, this action will create a release
archive and update the release body with a download section.
This also integrates the suggestions from #2276Resolves#2276
If two WM events arrive withing 25ms of one-another, the second one does
not trigger a bar update.
The module state is still correct, it is just not reflected in the bar.
This somehow caused updates being swallowed in fluxbox, but only after
PR #882 was merged, even though that 25ms restriction existed long
before that.
Fixes#2272
Since 3.5.0, we use m_interval for a modulo operation, this crashes the
bar if the interval is 0. A non-positive interval shouldn't be allowed
anyway, so we now throw an exception in that case.
Fixes#2273
Pre 3.5.0, any key starting with 'inherit' was treated as an inherit
directive. This allowed for multiple inheritance even though it was
never inteded in that way.
3.5.0 removed that bug/feature by doing a strict check against 'inherit'
It seems people were relying on this behavior, so we are adding it back.
However multiple inheritance with multiple keys is also deprecated in
favor of the `inherit` key now supporting multiple space separated
sections.
This is because the config doesn't have a key order, but inheritance
does depend on the order the different section keys are copied over (if
multiple inherited sections define the same key).

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`](https://polybar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man/polybar.5.html) 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)
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](https://polybar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/actions.html) 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 log level: `notice`.
Used as the default and is used for non-warning messages the user should
nevertheless be aware of. (#2027)
* config:
* New config parser (#1377)
* `include-directory` key (#2196), see #1946
* Add error message when an entire section is missing. (#2195)
* `-minlen` and `-alignment` properties for labels. (#1546)
* Make the `seperator` key in the bar section a label. (#1918)
* Better color validation. (#1290)
* timer modules: Schedule module updates to be aligned with the update interval.
For example, the date module now updates on the minute instead of in the
middle of a minute if the interval is set to 60 seconds. (#2123), see #2064
* `custom/menu`: Multiple menu modules per bar (#1907)
* `internal/backlight`: Support for changing the brightness through scrolling.
This may require additional changes to the system running polybar. (#1957)
* `internal/github`:
* `format-offline` for when the module cannot connect to the server (#1825),
see #1815
* Support for github enterprise instances. (#1841), see #1812
* `internal/network`: Support `Gbit/s` for `%linkspeed%` token. (#2055)
* `internal/pulseaudio`:
* `click-right` and `click-middle` keys (#1941)
* `%decibels%` token (#1894), see #1886
* `internal/xworkspaces`: Proper implementation for `label-occupied`. (#822),
see #874, #1444, #1033

(except if `--config` was used). (#2026), see #2016
* iconset: `fuzzy-match` chose first match, even if exact match was available.
(#2042), see #2041
* `custom/menu`: Spacing issue (#1656)
* `internal/alsa`: Volume didn't go over 100% (#2184), see #2173

`amdgpu_bl`. (#2122)
* `internal/battery`: Battery not marked as full if over `full-at` percent.
(#2019), see #1622
* `internal/cpu`: More accurate cpu load calculation. (#1955)

* Don't crash module if linkspeed cannot be queried. (#1772), see #1211
* `internal/temperature`:
* `format-warn` was not used if the temperature was *exactly*
`warn-temperature`. (#1897)
* `internal/xworkspaces`:
* Multi-monitor issue (#1929), see #1764, #1849
* Module sometimes showed too many workspaces (#1984), see #1983

* gtest compilation failure (#1993), see google/googletest#2678
* Compilation issue in GCC 6. (#1953)
It was not quite clear how try_apply_alpha should behave if the given
color was not ALPHA_ONLY. The implementation just returned 'this'.
However, the build relied on it returning the given color.
This broke all bg and fg settings in the entire bar.
To clear this up, we switch this around take the alpha channel of 'this'
and also return 'this' if it isn't ALPHA_ONLY.
Fixes#2255
New config option `speed-unit = B/s` will be used to suffix the upload and download speeds.
* mod::network: udspeed-unit to set network speed unit suffix
* Changed udspeed-unit to speed-unit
Shell commands triggered from action tags used to block polybar until
they finished.
Since we are not actually interested in the output of the commands, it
makes sense to run them completely detached from polybar and have
polybar not block when executing these commands.
Now the spawned child processes no longer get killed when polybar
exits. This is fine because polybar is not responsible for these
processes since they were explicitly started by the user through click
commands.
