xmobar v0.33 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-02-26 // about 4 years ago
  • πŸ†• New features

    • πŸ†• New template parameter <weather> for the Weather plugin, potentially
      displaying specific weather conditions that are occurring near the
      station (thanks to slotThe).
    • πŸ†• New option --weathers, for Weather to display a default string in
      case the weather field is not reported (thanks to slotThe).
    • πŸ†• New template parameter <volumestatus> for the Volume plugin, combining
      the effects of <volume> and <status>. This will show the volume
      πŸ›  (possibly prefixed by onString or a percentage-based string) if and only
      if the volume is not muted. Otherwise it will show the
      offString (thanks to slotThe).
    • πŸ‘ Battery and BatteryN now support FreeBSD (thanks to Dhananjay
      Balan).
    • πŸ†• New option --useManager for Weather and UVMeter to decide whether to
      πŸ‘‰ use one single manager per monitor for managing network connections or
      create a new one every time a connection is made.
    • πŸ†• New more efficient time coalescing strategy for monitor updates,
      available with the threaded runtime: use the with_threaded flag
      πŸ‘€ to enable it (see #410; thanks to TomΓ‘Ε‘ JanouΕ‘ek).
    • 🐧 Wireless supports current nl80211 API on Linux now, old Wext ioctls still
      available as compile-time option (thanks to Paul Fertser).
