With some recent commits we are matching a good number of custom
characters. Instead of waiting for another one that breaks it, just
match all punctuation characters. The regexp is pretty big and some
simplification is also welcomed.
Vicious tags from 1.0.12 will not be compatibile with awesome versions
prior to 3.4, tag 1.0.11 was the last one. Vicious was ported to the
new timer signals infrastructure and there is no backward
compatibility with hooks. In 1.0.12 even those C widgets that are
deprecated in awesome 3.4 (to be removed in 3.5) will not be
supported. Use awful.widget.progressbar and awful.widget.graph.
There were not many changes recently, but much more people are taking
the tarball instead of the development code so they will benefit from
the recent fixes and extended documentation.
- Prepend LANG=C to the df call, so it always gets the information in a way
it understands. Other languages do have other namings for "Filesystem" and
some use , instead of . for the number seperator.
- Adapt the line.match line so it actually matches values. (Have the - last
in the first match and teach it that mount targets can also have dots and colons
in it)
Widget returns speed and cache information for all available
CPUs/cores. It stores cpu speed in mhz and ghz in a table as well as
cpu cache in kb and mb. Values are retrieved using the CPU ID, i.e. we
would retrieve speed in ghz for CPU or core 1 with this format string:
${1 ghz}.
It is somewhat lighter, faster and simpler than wget. It is as common
as wget these days... from GnuPG to Git and Gimp, they all depend on
it, and we all have it installed.
Pacman 3.3 returns one package on a line, without any other
information. So now we count lines, while before the list of packages
was provided on one line along with the number of updates - so we
didn't have to count them. Old code was commented out, and is waiting
for removal.
Function takes two arguments, the text to be truncated and the max
lenght. Last three characters will be replaced by "...". Mbox and MPD
widgets that previously did it them selves are now using this helper.
The cpufreq widget supplements the cpu widget. It returns the current
CPU scaling frequency (in MHz and GHz), voltage (in mV and V) and
governor information for a requested CPU. If supported by the
processor and correct kernel modules are loaded.
It is simillar to the awful.util.escape now, using a table which we
could expand (and rename) with other unwated characters if it comes to
that. I saw awesome break on many occasions because of encoding
problems.
