IMPORTANT:

  • volume now uses 🔉 and 🔈 instead of ♫ and ♩ to show mute state.
    This BREAKS backward compatibility if users substitute custom symbols
    from these default.

Added:

  • notmuch_all, cpu_freebsd widget types.
  • [cmus_all] Promote to widgets/.
  • [wifiiw_linux] Expose BSSID.
  • [wifi_linux] Expose frequency and transmission power.
  • spawn as a fallback for awful.spawn in case Vicious is used as
    a stand-alone library. This wrapper, however, does NOT provide the facilities
    to asynchronously spawn new processes. It also lacks a few features such as
    parsing stderr and returning PID.
  • helpers.setasyncall to avoid writing redundant workers for asynchronous
    widget types. Note that these workers are only needed in case Vicious is used
    as a stand-alone library.
  • helpers.setcall for registering functions as widget types.
  • headergen script for automatic generation of copyright notices.
  • templates for the ease of adding new widget types.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md which guide contributors through the steps
    of filing an issue or submitting a patch.

Fixed:

  • Deprecate the use of io.popen in following widgets:
    • wifi_linux, wifiiw_linux, hwmontemp_linux, hddtemp_linux
    • bat_freebsd, mem_freebsd, net_freebsd, thermal_freebsd, uptime_freebsd,
      cpu_freebsd, cpufreq_freebsd, fanspeed_freebsd
    • bat_openbsd
    • volume, gmail, mdir, mpd, fs
  • [mpd] Lua 5.3 compatibility (for real this time); also correct a typo
  • [mbox] Update the deprecated string.gfind to string.gmatch
  • [pkg,weather,contrib/btc] Allow function call without Awesome
  • [pkg] Use more updated front-ends for Debian/Ubuntu (apt) and Fedora (dnf)
  • [os] Splitted os_all into os_linux and os_bsd (and refactored to async)
  • Tweak .luacheckrc to suit functional style and soft-limit text width to 80
  • Update copyright headers for libraries and widget types

Removed:

  • helpers.sysctl and helpers.sysctl_table were removed in favour of
    helpers.sysctl_async.
