Deprecations

The XMonadLog module is deprecated. This module let taffybar display XMonad desktop information through a dbus connection. The EWMH desktop support by José Alfredo Romero L is better in every way, so that (through TaffyPager) is the recommended replacement. Upgrading should be straightforward.

0.3.0:

  • A new pager (System.Taffybar.TaffyPager) from José A. Romero L. This pager is a drop-in replacement for the dbus-based XMonadLog widget. It communicates via X atoms and EWMH like a real pager. It even supports changing workspaces by clicking on them. I recommend this over the old widget.
  • Added an MPRIS2 widget (contributed by Igor Babuschkin)
  • Ported to use the newer merged dbus library instead of dbus-client/dbus-core (contributed by CJ van den Berg)
  • Finally have the calendar widget pop up over the date/time widget (contributed by José A. Romero)
  • GHC 7.6 compatibility
  • Vertical bars can now have dynamic background colors (suggested by Elliot Wolk)
  • Bug fixes

0.2.1:

  • More robust strut handling for multiple monitors of different sizes (contributed by Morgan Gibson)
  • New widgets from José A. Romero (network monitor, fs monitor, another CPU monitor)
  • Allow the bar widget to grow vertically (also contributed by José A. Romero)

0.2.0:

  • Add some more flexible formatting options for the XMonadLog widget (contributed by cnervi).
  • Make the PollingLabel more robust with an exception handler for IOExceptions
  • Added more documentation for a few widgets

0.1.3:

  • Depend on gtk 0.12.1+ to be able to build under ghc 7.2
  • Fix the background colors in the calendar so that it follows the GTK theme instead of the bar-specific color settings
  • Fix the display of non-ASCII window titles in the XMonad log applet (assuming you use the dbusLog function)
  • Add a horrible hack to force the bar to not resize to be larger than the screen due to notifications or long window titles

0.1.2:

  • Readable widget for freedesktop notifications
  • Fixed a few potential deadlocks on startup
  • Use the GTK+ rc-file styling system for colors instead of hard coding them
