  • 1.10.2
    Release 1.10.2
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Crash when `terminal=yes` (in `fuzzel.ini`), and a `.desktop` file
      has `Terminal=True` but no `Exec` key ([#331][331]).
    * `--anchor=center` not working on some compositors ([#330][330]).

  • 1.10.1
    Release 1.10.1
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Crash when executing the command line as is, i.e. when there is no

  • 1.10.0
    Release 1.10.0
    
    Added
    -----
    
    * Support for the `cursor-shape-v1` Wayland protocol.
    * New option `--anchor` allows setting the window position anchor
      (i.e. where on the screen the window should generally be
      positioned), such as `top`, `top-left`, `bottom-right`, `center`,
      etc. Defaults to `center` ([#130][130]).
    * `--check-config` command line option ([#264][264]).
    * New key binding: `execute-input` (mapped to shift+return by
      default). This key binding executes the raw input as is, regardless
      of whether it matches anything in the list or not ([#252][252]).
    * `--select=STRING` command line option. Selects the first entry that
      matches the given string ([#237][237]).
    * `include=<path>` option to `fuzzel.ini` ([#205][205]).
    * New option `--list-executables-in-path` add executables presents in
      the $PATH variable to the list ([#284][284]).
    * New key binding: `delete-line-backward` which corresponds to C-u in bash.
      Also renames `delete-line` to `delete-line-forward` ([#307][307]).
    * The ID of the selected `.desktop` file, and executed command line
      are now logged, at info level ([#302][302]).
    * Support for `wp_fractional_scale_v1` (i.e. true fractional scaling)
      ([#320][320]).

    * Rename `delete-line` binding to `delete-line-forward` ([#307][307]).
    * `password-character` can now be set to the empty string
      ([#263][263]).

    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Ignore whitespace in `.desktop` files’ key and name values
      ([#248][248]).
    * Desktop entries with `NoDisplay=true` being ignored unless they also
      had `Name` and `Exec` set ([#253][253]).
    * Crash when compositor sends a `keyboard::modifiers` event without
      first sending a `keyboard::keymap` event (with a valid keymap)
      ([#293][293]).
    * Quoted empty (`""`) arguments being ignored ([#285][285]).
    * Log-level not respected by syslog.

  • 1.9.2
    Release 1.9.2
    
    Added
    -----
    
    * Added a new option `--filter-desktop` which toggles filtering of desktop
      entries based on the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn keys. Filtering is based on the
      value of $XDG\_CURRENT\_DESKTOP according to desktop-entry spec. Filtering is
      off by default. To disable filtering set in the config from the command line,
      use --filter-desktop=no
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * Output scaling is now applied to the border radius ([#236][236]).
    
    [236]: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/236
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Last line sometimes not being rendered ([#234][234]).
    * `key-bindings.cursor-right-word` not being recognized as a valid
      action.
    * `password-character` being set in `fuzzel.ini` incorrectly enabling
      password mode ([#241][241]).
    * Added missing zsh+fish completions for `--password`.

  • 1.9.1
    Release 1.9.1
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Regression: default font size was unintentionally changed from 12pt
      in 1.8.2, to 8pt in 1.9.0. The old default of 12pt has now been
      restored.
    * Regression: crash when pressing Enter and the match list is empty (e.g. when
      trying to execute a command line) ([#222][222]).
    
    [222]: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/222
  • 1.9.0
    Release 1.9.0
    
    Added
    -----
    
    * Add support for startup notifications via xdg activation ([#195][195])
    * Convert tabs to spaces when rendering ([#137][137]).
    * `--dmenu0` command line option. Like `--dmenu`, but input is NUL
      separated instead of newline separated ([#197][197]).
    * Support for localized strings. If you want the old behavior, run
      `fuzzel` with `LC_MESSAGES=C` ([#199][199]).
    * Export `FUZZEL_DESKTOP_FILE_ID` environment variable when setting
      the `--launch-prefix` in order to pass the Desktop File ID to the
      launch prefix ([#110][110]).
    * New key bindings: `[key-bindings].first` and `[key-bindings].last`,
      bound to `Control+Home` and `Control+End` by default ([#210][210]).
    * New key binding: `[key-bindings].insert-selected`, bound to
      `Control+Tab` by default. It replaces the current prompt (filter)
      with the selected item ([#212][212]).

    Changed
    -------
    
    * Better verification of color values specified on the command line
      ([#194][194]).
    * When determining initial font size, do FontConfig config
      substitution if the user-provided font pattern has no {pixel}size
      option ([#1287][foot-1287]).

    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Update nanosvg to f0a3e10. Fixes rendering of certain SVG icons
      ([#190][190]).
    * Not being able to input numbers using the keypad ([#192][192]).
    * Absolute path PNG icons not being loaded ([#214][214]).

      pressed ([#177][177]).
    
    [177]: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/177
  • 1.8.0
    Release 1.8.0
    
    Added
    -----
    
    * Support for file based configuration ([#3][3]).
    * Customizable key bindings ([#117][117]).
    * "Custom" key bindings (like Rofi’s `kb-custom-N` key
      bindings).
    * If `argv[0]` is _dmenu_, fuzzel now starts in dmenu mode
      ([#107][107]).
    * `--password=[CHARACTER]` command line option. Intended to be used
      with “password input”; all typed text is rendered as _CHARACTER_,
      defaulting to `*` if _CHARACTER_ is omitted ([#108][108]).
    * `Ctrl+y` binding to execute selected entry.
    * `Ctrl+j`/`Ctrl+k` binding to move to the next/previous item
      ([#120][120]).
    * Escape sequences in `Exec` arguments are now supported.
    * Quoted environment variables in `Exec` arguments are now supported ([#143][143]).
    * Multiple space-separated search words can now be entered at the prompt.
    * `-M,--selection-match-color`, that lets you configure the color of
      matched substrings of the currently selected item
    * New config option `image-size-ratio`, allowing you to control the
      size of the large image displayed when there are only a “few”
      matches.
    * Support for icons in dmenu mode, using Rofi’s extended dmenu
      protocol ([#166][166]).
    * `--layer` command line option, allowing you to choose which layer to
      render the fuzzel window on (`top` or `overlay`) ([#81][81]).
    * `--no-exit-on-keyboard-focus-loss` command line option
      (`exit-on-keyboard-focus-loss` config option) ([#128][128]).

    Changed
    -------
    
    * `-i` is now **ignored**. This is to increase compatibility with
      other similar utilities. To set the icon theme, either use the long
      option (`--icon-theme=THEME`), or set it in the configuration file
      (default: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini`) ([#149][149]).
    * Minimum required meson version is now 0.58.
    * libpng warnings are now routed through fuzzel’s logging
      ([#101][101]).
    * Nanosvg is now the default SVG backend. librsvg is still supported,
      and can be used by setting the `-Dsvg-backend=librsvg` meson option.
    * It is no longer necessary to close stdin when using fuzzel in dmenu
      mode, as long as `--no-run-if-empty` is **not** being used
      ([#106][106]).
    * Improved performance of initial rendering of icons ([#124][124]).
    * `--terminal` now defaults to `$TERMINAL -e`.
    * Font shaping is now applied to the prompt
    * The large image displayed when there are only a “few” matches is now
      smaller by default.
    * Swapped meaning of the command line options `-p` and `-P`; `-p` is
      now the short option for `--prompt` ([#146][146]).
    * Do not add icon-sized padding on the left size in dmenu mode
      ([#158][158]).
    * Color config values are now allowed to be prefixed with `#`
      ([#160][160]).

    -----
    
    * User `.desktop` entries with `NoDisplay=true` not overriding system
      entries ([#114][114]).
    * Icon lookup is now better at following the XDG specification.
    * Backspace removes not only the previous character, but also
      everything **after** the cursor.
    * Crash on exit in dmenu mode when selection list is empty.
    * Keypad `enter` not executing the selected entry ([#138][138])

  • 1.7.0
    Release 1.7.0
    
    Added
    -----
    
    * `-F,--fields=FIELDS` command line option, allowing you to select
      which XDG Desktop Entry fields to match against
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/63).
    * Support for desktop entry actions
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/71).
    * Fuzzy matching. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled with
      `--no-fuzzy`. When enabled, the fuzziness can be adjusted with
      `--fuzzy-max-length-discrepancy` and `--fuzzy-max-distance`
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/56).
    * `--index` (dmenu mode only): print selected entry’s index instead of
      its text (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/88).
    * `--log-level=info|warning|error|none` command line option
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/34).
    * `--log-no-syslog` command line option.
    * `--log-colorize=auto|never|always` command line option.
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * Fuzzel now refuses to start if there is another fuzzel instance
      running (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/57).
    * Treat "Apps" as valid context for applications to support more
      icon themes (for example, Faenza)
    * The `Name` entry of the desktop files are no longer used as unique
      identifiers. Instead, we now generate the “desktop file ID”
      according to the XDG desktop entry specification, and use that as ID
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/68).
    * All XDG data directories are now searched when loading an
      icon. Previously, only XDG data directories where the theme
      directory contained an `index.theme` file were searched
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/62).
    * Pressing Tab when there is a single match now executes it
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/77).
    * Use a lock file instead of parsing `/proc` to prevent multiple
      fuzzel instances from running at the same time
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/84).
    * The application list is now populated in a separate thread, in
      parallel to initializing the GUI. This reduces the risk of missing
      keyboard input (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/82).
    * Icons are now loaded in a thread. This allows us to display the
      application list quickly (initially without icons, if loading them
      takes “too” long).
    * Fuzzel now exits with exit code 0 when the non-dmenu launcher is
      aborted (no application has been launched) by the user
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/98).
    
    Fixed
    -----
    
    * Long entries overrunning the right side padding
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/80).
    * Tab and Shift+Tab not wrapping around
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/78).
    * Visual glitches in the corners, when using rounded corners
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/90).
    * Regression: `--dmenu --lines=0` crashing
      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/92).

      alternative SVG backend. Nanosvg is bundled with fuzzel and has
      **no** additional dependencies. This means you can now have SVGs
      without depending on Cairo.
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * Meson option `-Denable-png` replaced with `-Dpng-backend=none|libpng`.
    * Meson option `-Denable-svg` replaced with `-Dsvg-backend=none|librsvg|nanosvg`.

      (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/37).
    
    Changed
    -------
    
    * Use `rsvg_handle_render_document()` instead of
      `rsvg_handle_render_cairo()` on libsrvg >= 2.46, since the latter
      has been deprecated (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/32).
