v0.22.1

This is identical to v0.22.0 but the tag is signed for those who need it. My bad - I should have signed v0.22.0 originally. Please see that release for release details.

v0.22.0

Changelog:

• !!! Config breakage !!!
  • lazy.qtile.display_kb() no longer receives any arguments. If you passed it any arguments
    (which were ignored previously), remove them.
  • If you have a custom startup Python script that you use instead of qtile start and run init_log
    manually, the signature has changed. Please check the source for the updated arguments.
  • KeyChord's signature has changed. mode is now a boolean to indicate whether the mode should persist.
    The name parameter should be used to name the chord (e.g. for the Chord widget).
• features
  • Add ability to draw borders and add margins to the Max layout.
  • The default XWayland cursor is now set at startup to left_ptr, so an xsetroot call is not needed to
    avoid the ugly X cursor.
  • Wayland: primary clipboard should now behave same way as with X after selecting something it
    should be copied into clipboard
  • Add resume hook when computer resumes from sleep/suspend/hibernate.
  • Add text_only option for LaunchBar widget.
  • Add force_update command to ThreadPoolText widgets to simplify updating from key bindings
  • Add scrolling ability to _TextBox-based widgets.
  • Add player controls (via mouse callbacks) to Mpris2 widget.
  • Wayland: input inhibitor protocol support added (pywayland>=0.4.14 & pywlroots>=0.15.19)
  • Add commands to control Pomodoro widget.
  • Add icon theme support to TaskList widget (available on X11 and Wayland backends).
  • Wayland: Use qtile cmd-obj -o core -f get_inputs to get input device identifiers for
    configuring inputs. Also input configs will be updated by config reloads (pywlroots>=0.15.21)
• bugfixes
  • Widgets that are incompatible with a backend (e.g. Systray on Wayland) will no longer show
    as a ConfigError in the bar. Instead the widget is silently removed from the bar and a message
    included in the logs.
  • Reduce error messages in StatusNotifier widget from certain apps.
  • Reset colours in Chord widget
  • Prevent crash in LaunchBar when using SVG icons
  • Improve scrolling in Mpris2 widget (options to repeat scrolling etc.)

Release 0.20.0

This is just a small release this time, to update in step with the new wlroots release, used by the Wayland backend. The changes in this release are:

• New features:
  • Add place_right option in the TreeTab layout to place the tab panel on the right side
  • X11: Add support for _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT. E.g. can be used by rofi to map on current output.
  • Wayland: Bump wlroots version. 0.15.x wlroots and 0.15.2+ pywlroots are required.
  • Add XWayland support to the Wayland backend. XWayland will start up as needed, if it is installed.
• Bug fixes:
  • Remove non-commandable windows from IPC. Fixes bug where IPC would fail when trying to get info
    on all windows but Systray has icons (which are non-commandable _Windows.)
  • Fix bug where bars were not reconfigured correctly when screen layout changes.
  • Fix a Wayland bug where layer-shell surface like dunst would freeze up and stop updating.
  • Change timing of screens_reconfigured hook. Will now be called ONLY if cmd_reconfigure_screens
    has been called and completed.
  • Fix order of icons in Systray widget when restarting/reloading config.
  • Fix rounding error in PulseVolume widget's reported volume.

Release 0.19.0

This release comes with a number of bug fixes, as well as a bunch of new features:

• Add ability to draw borders to the Bar. Can customise size and colour per edge.
• Add StatusNotifier widget implementing the StatusNotifierItem specification. NB Widget does not provide context menus.
• Add total bandwidth format value to the Net widget.
• Scratchpad groups could be defined as single so that only one of the scratchpad in the group is visible at a given time.
• All scratchpads in a Scratchpad group can be hidden with hide_all() function.
• For saving states of scratchpads during restart, we use wids instead of pids.
• Scratchpads can now be defined with an optional matcher to match with window properties.
• Qtile.cmd_reload_config is added for reloading the config without completely restarting.
• Window.cmd_togroup's argument groupName should be changed to group_name. For the time being a log warning is in place and a migration is added. In the future groupName will fail.
• Add min/max_ratio to Tile layout and fix bug where windows can extend offscreen.
• Add ability for widget mouse_callbacks to take lazy calls (similar to keybindings)
• Add aliases to lazy.spawncmd() which takes a dictionary mapping convenient aliases to full command lines.
• Add a new 'prefix' option to the net widget to display speeds with a static unit (e.g. MB).
• lazy.group.toscreen() now does not toggle groups by default. To get this behaviour back, use lazy.group.toscreen(toggle=True)
• Tile layout has new margin_on_single and border_on_single option to specify whether to draw margin and border when there is only one window.
• Thermal zone widget.
• Allow TextBox-based widgets to display in vertical bars.
• Added a focused attribute to lazy.function.when which can be used to Match on focused windows.
• Allow to update Image widget with update() function by giving a new path.
