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:
- [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.
Fixed:
- Deprecate the use of `io.popen` in following widgets:
* wifi_linux, wifiiw_linux, hwmontemp_linux, hddtemp_linux
* bat_freebsd, mem_freebsd, net_freebsd
* volume, gmail, mdir, mpd, fs
- [mpd] Lua 5.3 compatibility (for real this time); also correct a typo
- [pkg,weather,contrib/btc] Allow function call without Awesome
- [pkg] Use more updated front-ends for Debian/Ubuntu (apt) and Fedora (dnf)
