This file recaps changes between releases.

[0.3] - 2021-07-19

This release mainly features support for transparency (contribution by Oliver Hattshire @Hattshire) in color specifications along with improvements to the pulseaudio watcher script provided in the documentation.

Added

  • Support for transparency: color specification can now contain a value for the alpha channel.
  • Automatic default sink index detection in the example pulseaudio watcher script. This should make the script work out of the box for most users.
  • Ready to use screen brightness watcher script in the README.
  • Quiet mode (-q).

Changed

  • xob now depends on libxrender for the new transparency feature (this can be optionally disabled when building xob).
  • Improved documentation of the named-pipe method.
  • The documentation encourages users to use dedicated input programs instead of the named-pipe method (now presented as a fallback method).

Fixed

  • Documentation used to advise to overwrite the content of named pipes which could lead to premature file endings. The documentation now recommends to append new values command >> named_pipe.
  • Issue in the pulseaudio watcher script where pulseaudio sink indexes were abusively used as indexes of the internal pulsectl library's data structures.

[0.2] - 2020-03-09

This release introduces more precise timeout specification (mind the new unit for -t) and an orientation option. This option makes it possible to chose between a new vertical style or the classic horizontal style.

Added

  • New vertical mode to display a bar that fills up from bottom to top.
  • New orientation option to choose between classic horizontal mode and new vertical mode.
  • More precise timeout specification (millisecond). Values below one second are now allowed.

Changed

  • Default style: the bar is now vertical near the right edge of the screen. This prevents the bar from overlapping two screens in typical horizontal dual-monitor setups.
  • Unit for timeout -t is now the millisecond. xob will issue a warning when the specified value seems too low (e.g. after a migration from v0.1.x).

Fixed

  • Integers (0 and 1) not accepted as values for rel options in configuration file .
  • Typos in documentation.

[0.1.1] - 2018-08-25

This release does not add any major new end-user feature. It corrects issues and improves the build process thanks to a revamped Makefile for easier packaging of the program in linux distributions. It also provides a default system configuration file.

Added

  • WM_CLASS property for the xob windows
  • Default system configuration file
  • Configurable (during build) system configuration path: xob does not always fallback to /etc/xob/styles.cfg anymore, it adapts to the system configuration directory specified during the build process.
  • Changelog
  • New planned feature: configuration through X resources

Changed

  • Naming conventions in types and include guards to avoid clash with possible reserved C and POSIX identifiers
  • Naming conventions of the variables in the Makefile to fit the GNU Coding Standards

Fixed

  • Build errors on certain configurations due to blunders in Makefile

[0.1] - 2018-08-21

Initial release of xob.
