• 1.6.2

Unreleased

Added

• Support for custom font fallbacks (#153).
• overline: new decoration (#153).
• i3/sway: boolean option strip-workspace-numbers.
• font-shaping: new inheritable configuration option, allowing you to configure whether strings should be shaped using HarfBuzz, or not (#159).
• river: support for the new “mode” event present in version 3 of the river status manager protocol, in the form of a new tag, ”mode”, in the title particle.
• network: request link stats and expose under tags dl-speed and ul-speed when poll-interval is set.
• new module: disk-io.

Changed

• Minimum required meson version is now 0.58.

• Float tags are now treated as floats instead of integers when formatted with the kb/kib/mb/mib/gb/gib string particle formatters.

• network: tx-bitrate and rx-bitrate are now in bits/s instead of Mb/s. Use the mb string formatter to render these tags as before (e.g. string: {text: "{tx-bitrate:mb}"}).

• i3: newly created, and unfocused workspaces are now considered non-empty (#191)

• BREAKING CHANGE: overhaul of the map particle. Instead of specifying a tag and then an array of values, you must now simply use an array of conditions, that consist of:

  <tag> <operation> <value>

  where <operation> is one of:

  == != < <= > >=

  Note that boolean tags must be used as is:

  online

  ~online # use '~' to match for their falsehood

  As an example, if you previously had something like:

  map:
    tag: State
    values:
      unrecognized:
        ...
  

  You would now write it as:

  map:
    conditions:
      State == unrecognized:
        ...
  

  For a more thorough explanation, see the updated map section in the man page for yambar-particles(#137 and #175).

Deprecated

Removed

Fixed

• i3: fixed “missing workspace indicator” (err: modules/i3.c:94: workspace reply/event without 'name' and/or 'output', and/or 'focus' properties).
• Slow/laggy behavior when quickly spawning many on-click handlers, e.g. when handling mouse wheel events (#169).
• cpu: don’t error out on systems where SMT has been disabled (#172).
• examples/dwl-tags: updated parsing of output name (#178).
• sway-xkb: don’t crash when Sway sends an ”added” event for a device yambar is already tracking (#177).
• Crash when a particle is “too wide”, and tries to render outside the bar (#198).
• string: crash when failing to convert string to UTF-32.

1.8.0

Added

• ramp: can now have custom min and max values (#103).
• border: new decoration.
• i3/sway: new boolean tag: empty (#139).
• mem: a module handling system memory monitoring
• cpu: a module offering cpu usage monitoring
• removables: support for audio CDs (#146).
• removables: new boolean tag: audio.

Changed

• fcft >= 3.0 is now required.
• Made libmpdclient an optional dependency
• battery: unknown battery states are now mapped to ‘unknown’, instead of ‘discharging’.
• Wayland: the bar no longer exits when the monitor is disabled/unplugged (#106).

Fixed

• left-margin and right-margin from being rejected as invalid options.
• Crash when udev_monitor_receive_device() returned NULL. This affected the “backlight”, “battery” and “removables” modules (#109).
• foreign-toplevel: update bar when a top-level is closed.
• Bar not being mapped on an output before at least one module has “refreshed” it (#116).
• network: failure to retrieve wireless attributes (SSID, RX/TX bitrate, signal strength etc).
• Integer options that were supposed to be >= 0 were incorrectly allowed, leading to various bad things; including yambar crashing, or worse, the compositor crashing (#129).
• kib/kb, mib/mb and gib/gb formatters were inverted.

1.7.0

Added

• i3: persistent attribute, allowing persistent workspaces (#72).
• bar: border.{left,right,top,bottom}-width, allowing the width of each side of the border to be configured individually. border.width is now a short-hand for setting all four borders to the same value (#77).
• bar: layer: top|bottom, allowing the layer which the bar is rendered on to be changed. Wayland only - ignored on X11.
• river: all-monitors: false|true.
• -d,--log-level=info|warning|error|none command line option (#84).
• river: support for the river-status protocol, version 2 (‘urgent’ views).
• online tag to the alsa module.
• alsa: volume and muted options, allowing you to configure which channels to use as source for the volume level and muted state.
• foreign-toplevel: Wayland module that provides information about currently opened windows.
• alsa: support for capture devices.
• network: ssid, signal, rx-bitrate and rx-bitrate tags.
• network: poll-interval option (for the new signal and *-bitrate tags).
• tags: percentage tag formatter, for range tags: {tag_name:%}.
• tags: kb/mb/gb, and kib/mib/gib tag formatters.
• clock: add a config option to show UTC time.

Changed

• bar: do not add spacing around empty (zero-width) modules.
• alsa: do not error out if we fail to connect to the ALSA device, or if we get disconnected. Instead, keep retrying until we succeed (#86).

Fixed

• yambar --backend=wayland always erroring out with ”yambar was compiled without the Wayland backend”.
• Regression: {where} tag not being expanded in progress-bar on-click handlers.
• alsa module causing yambar to use 100% CPU if the ALSA device is disconnected (#61).

1.6.2

Added

• Text shaping support.
• Support for middle and right mouse buttons, mouse wheel and trackpad scrolling (#39).
• script: polling mode. See the new poll-interval option (#67).

Changed

• doc: split up yambar-modules(5) into multiple man pages, one for each module (#15).
• fcft >= 2.4.0 is now required.
• sway-xkb: non-keyboard inputs are now ignored (#51).
• battery: don’t terminate (causing last status to “freeze”) when failing to update; retry again later (#44).
• battery: differentiate "Not Charging" and "Discharging" in state tag of battery module. (#57).
• string: use HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS instead of three regular periods when truncating a string (#73).

Fixed

• Crash when merging non-dictionary anchors in the YAML configuration (#32).
• Crash in the ramp particle when the tag’s value was out-of-bounds (#45).
• Crash when a string particle contained {} (#48).
• script module rejecting range tag end values containing the digit 9 (#60).

1.6.1

Changed

• i3: workspaces with numerical names are sorted separately from non-numerically named workspaces (#30).

Fixed

• mpd: elapsed tag not working (regression, introduced in 1.6.0).
• Wrong background color for (semi-) transparent backgrounds.
• battery: stats sometimes getting stuck at 0, or impossibly large values (#25).

1.6.0

Added

• alsa: percent tag. This is an integer tag that represents the current volume as a percentage value (#10).
• river: added documentation (#9).
• script: new module, adds support for custom user scripts (#11).
• mpd: volume tag. This is a range tag that represents MPD's current volume in percentage (0-100)
• i3: sort configuration option, that controls how the workspace list is sorted. Can be set to one of none, ascending or descending. Default is none (#17).
• i3: mode tag: the name of the currently active mode

Fixed

• YAML parsing error messages being replaced with a generic “unknown error”.
• Memory leak when a YAML parsing error was encountered.
• clock: update every second when necessary (#12).
• mpd: fix compilation with clang (#16).
• Crash when the alpha component in a color value was 0.
• XCB: Fallback to non-primary monitor when the primary monitor is disconnected (#20)

• removables: SD card support.
• removables: new ignore property.
