• 1.6.2
• 1.6.1
• 1.6.0

Unreleased

Added

• ramp: can now have custom min and max values (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/103).
• border: new decoration.
• i3/sway: new boolean tag: empty (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/139).
• mem: a module handling system memory monitoring
• cpu: a module offering cpu usage monitoring
• removables: support for audio CDs (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/106).

Deprecated

Removed

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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/129).
• kib/kb, mib/mb and gib/gb formatters were inverted.

1.7.0

Added

• i3: persistent attribute, allowing persistent workspaces (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/61).

1.6.2

Added

• Text shaping support.
• Support for middle and right mouse buttons, mouse wheel and trackpad scrolling (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/39).
• script: polling mode. See the new poll-interval option (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/67).

Changed

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

Fixed

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

Changed

• i3: workspaces with numerical names are sorted separately from non-numerically named workspaces (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/30).

Fixed

• mpd: elapsed tag not working (regression, introduced in 1.6.0).

• script: new module, adds support for custom user scripts (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/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 (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar/issues/17).
• i3: mode tag: the name of the currently active mode

Fixed

• YAML parsing error messages being replaced with a generic “unknown error”.
