xmobar v0.19 Release Notes

Release Date: 2013-10-27 // over 10 years ago

  • 🚀 As of this release, the old bug tracker at Google code is deprecated. Please use Github's tracker for new bugs.

    🆕 New features

    • New monitor BatteryN, a variant of BatteryP that lets you specify the name of the monitor in the template.
    • Support for configuration file living in XDG_CONFIG_HOME (see github #99).
    • Com uses safer runInteractiveProcess instead of spawning a shell (David McLean). If you're using shell expansion in your Com (e.g. "~/bin/script") here's a workaround: Run Com "/bin/bash" ["-c", "~/bin/script"] (cf. github #127).
    • New plugin UnsafeStdinReader that allows actions from stdin. Now it's possible to have clickable workspaces! (Thiago Negri, see github #125).
    • New monitor configuration option (-x or --nastring) that allows specifying what string to display when a monitor is not available (defaulting to "N/A"). Cf. github #119.

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • Using the width options -w, -m and -M in battery monitors watts display (github #118).
    • Using the -d option in CoreTemp (github #115)
    • Fix for systems not supporting PCRE regular expressions: we use now BCEs, so regex-compat should be enough everywhere (see github #117).
    • Weather monitor: support for stations without name (Sergei Trofimovich, issue #65).
