For more complicated configurations with several actions activated
through clicks on various connected modules, it is currently necessary
to have each of those connected modules exec their own subprocess to
produce the wanted output. This is problematic because it greatly
increases CPU usage.
Implement a new configuration option for bars, "custom-execs", which
contains an array of subprocess specifications ("exec", "exec_if",
"interval", "restart-interval"). The bar runs each of these executables
and reads their output. The output is in the form of a JSON object with
module names as keys and either strings (for "raw" type output) or
objects (for "json" type output) as values. These values are forwarded
to the custom modules named by the keys.
Also fixed timezones behavior: now waybar starting with the first timezone in timezones list and falling back to timezone field only if timezones omit or has no elements.
On the `Passive` value of `Status` tray items would be hidden unless
`show-passive-items` is set to true.
On the `NeedsAttention` value of `Status` tray items will have a
`.needs-attention` CSS class.
In a system with multiple sinks, the default sink may not always be
the once currently being used. It is more useful to control the
currently active sink rather than an unused one.
This patch does not make any difference if the system only uses the
default sink.

IFLA_CARRIER allows to know when a cable is plugged to the Ethernet
card or when the WiFi is connected. If there's no carrier, the
interface will be considered disconnected.
Last part of the rework of handleEvents(), this time we take the
getExternalInterface() function and add it to the handleEvents()
function. That way, waybar can react immediately when a new "external
interface" is available and doesn't need to probe. Also that avoid to
have two different functions consuming from the same socket and we
don't need to recode some of the functions that are already available
via libnl (to send and receive messages).
In order to get the IP address of an interface, we can get the
information out of NEWADDR events without needed to call getifaddrs().
And when now events are expected, we can requests a dump of all
addresses and handle addresses changes the same way via handleEvents()
only.
Instead of using an alternative way to list all links in order to
choose one when an "interface" is in the configuration, we can ask for
a dump of all interface an reuse the handleEvents() function.
This patch also start to rework the handleEvents() function to grab
more information out of each event, like the interface name.
Rewrites window title according to config option "rewrite".
"rewrite" is an object where keys are regular expressions and values are
rewrite rules if the expression matches. Rules may contain references to
captures of the expression. Regex and replacement follow ECMA-script
rules. If no regex matches, the title is left unchanged.
example:
"sway/window": {
"rewrite": {
"(.*) - Mozilla Firefox": " $1",
"(.*) - zsh": " $1",
}
}
Open rfkill device only once per module.
Remove rfkill threads and use `Glib::signal_io` as a more efficient way
to poll the rfkill device.
Handle runtime errors from rfkill and stop polling of the device instead
of crashing waybar.
Speedup battery state update by only updating the battery list when we
get a CREATE/DELETE event in the directory or whenever we do a full
refresh on the interval.
