Since this release didn't include any major changes, the focus has been mostly on bugfixing and adding quality-of-life improvements. I thought of pushing this release before introducing anything major since who knows when the code could become stable once again.

Enough rambling, here's the changelog:

Fixes:

  • Restored PulseAudio audio buffer fragmenting
  • SIGTERM signal is now handled properly
  • FIFO latency fixes
  • Fixed color initialization on X11 (NVIDIA only)
  • VSync behaviour + Vsync not working in some cases
  • Few corrections in the desktop shortcut file for Linux
  • Shadows appear "as intended" on Windows
  • Signal handler now responds when in sleep mode
  • Fixed memory bugs and leaks
  • Fix (dumb) iniparser linking issues on distros such as Ubuntu
  • Fixed color parsing on X11
  • Fixed header file path for SDL2
  • Fixed a bunch of typos
  • Fixed Windows directory parsing
  • Fixed crash on reload on Windows
  • Fixed oddoneout buggy bar(s)
  • Fixed GCC 10 compiler issues
  • Don't use Xresources if unavailable (such as on Wayland)
  • A few XWayland oriented fixes
  • Windows audio is now read in the proper format (float32)
  • And an another small Windows audio fix
  • Fixed pkg-config path
  • CMake-related fix
  • Fixed gradient calculation algorithm on X11
  • Delocalized a variable which caused a crash on Windows due to being invalid

Features:

  • Root window mode for X11 - I'd recommend this if you don't have a compositor on
  • Linux inode watcher came back
  • Introduced automatic config file reloads on windows - Makes it easy to preview changes
  • Added fullscreen mode to Windows
  • Added build flags for optional features
  • Removed restriction on bar count
  • override_redirect to change window ordering on X11
  • Reload on display change/configure on X11

Changes:

  • Cleaned up warnings in lots of places
  • Cleaned iniparser usage
  • CCache in travis builds
  • Multiple build configs in travis
  • Version info managed by build system rather than manually
  • Limit sample buffer to 1024 on PortAudio to reduce delays
  • Version info automatically written into NSIS file
  • Overhaul to the input and output systems (leaning towards more modularization)
  • Config system overhaul (more modularized and less monolithic)
  • Added own wrappers for system functions (makes the code simpler and avoids clutter)
  • Stack optimization for functions that are often called
  • Tried to fix cursed garbage code
  • Removed FreeDesktop shortcut from Windows build
  • Windows code cleanup
  • Window class is now ALWAYS set on X11
  • Updated documentation
  • Fixed Windows headers for internal functions

Removal:

  • RAW mode - It's kind of goes against being a desktop application
