xmobar (0.19-1) unstable; urgency=low Beginning with 0.19, the Com configuration directive does not use a shell to run the commands specified anymore. If you're using shell expansion or pipes in your Com statements, you should change them to call a shell explicitly, e.g.: Run Com "/bin/bash" ["-c", "~/bin/script"] Run Com "/bin/bash" ["-c", "~/bin/other_script | head -n 1"] Also beginning with 0.19, xmobar supports an alternate configuration file location, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xmobar/xmobarrc (default: ~/.config/xmobar/xmobarrc). See the xmobar(1) manpage for more details. -- Apollon Oikonomopoulos Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:25:45 +0200 xmobar (0.16-1) experimental; urgency=low If you used the Battery or BatteryP monitors, please note that after 0.15 they perform auto-discovery and so the "-c" argument is not needed anymore. Be sure to remove it from your .xmobarrc. Also, versions 0.15 and 0.16 introduced a number of new monitors, check out /usr/share/doc/xmobar/news.md.gz for more information. -- Apollon Oikonomopoulos Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:46:46 +0200
