2190871a (perf(label): skip redundant markup updates) caches the last
label/tooltip markup as Glib::ustring and skips set_markup() when the
new markup compares equal. Glib::ustring::operator== goes through
g_utf8_collate(), and under the UTF-8 locale GTK sets at startup,
Unicode private-use codepoints carry no collation weight. All nerd-font
icons live in the PUA, so two labels that differ only in their icon
glyph collate as equal and the visual update is silently dropped.
idle_inhibitor is the visible victim (#5169): clicking toggles the
state class (highlight changes) but the {icon} glyph never switches
between the activated/deactivated icons, while plain-text icons like
"YES"/"NO" work. Any ALabel module whose consecutive updates differ
only by a PUA glyph is affected. The module only started routing
through this cache when db4941ef migrated it onto the shared
setLabelMarkup()/setTooltipMarkup() helpers, which is why it broke in
the latest batch of refactors.
Store the cache as raw UTF-8 bytes (std::string via ustring::raw())
and compare those instead, so the skip only triggers on byte-identical
markup. Reproduced and verified under a nested niri session: before the
fix RTMIN+n toggled the state class but left the sleep glyph unchanged;
after it the glyph flips as expected, and byte-identical updates are
still skipped.
#5158 (6672e924) moved connectToSocket() off the constructing thread and
into the detached IPC worker's own try/catch, so a missing NIRI_SOCKET no
longer throws out of IPC::IPC(). That was needed to fix#5117 (the worker
should reconnect instead of dying when an established stream drops), but
it also meant the very first connection attempt can never fail anymore.
Factory::makeModule()/Bar::getModules() rely on that constructor throwing
to disable a module it can't construct. With niri/workspaces and
niri/window always constructing successfully now, they get added to every
bar regardless of which compositor is actually running, showing up as a
permanently-empty widget next to the real workspace modules under
Hyprland/Sway.
Restore the old semantics for the first connection: connectToSocket() runs
synchronously in IPC::IPC() again, so a missing socket still throws and
the module gets disabled as before. Only a drop *after* that succeeds
falls into the retrying reconnect loop, preserving the #5117 fix.
Extend the pow_format spec parser beyond alignment so configs can shape the
rendered number, not just pad it. A forced scale (#, k, M, G, T, P) pins the SI
prefix instead of auto-selecting it and, since the author then knows both scale
and unit, hides the prefix and unit by default; U brings the unit back, u hides
it in auto mode, and i forces integer display. b and B override the decimal or
binary base independently of the call site, and a trailing width now fixes the
coefficient field when a scale is forced, overflowing to '#' when it does not
fit.
The old '>' and '<' branches rendered via fmt::format("{}", s), which discarded
every new field on the recursive call; they now build from a single render path
that reads the current formatter, so modifiers survive alignment. The auto path
is byte-identical to before, verified against the previous implementation.
Adds a Catch2 suite covering each modifier alone and combined, plus the
backward-compatible alignment cases, and documents the modifiers in the network
and disk man pages.
Replace the custom module's continuous getline() worker with the new GLib-backed command stream helper.
This moves line delivery, child exit handling, and restart scheduling onto the main loop so continuous commands no longer depend on a blocking FILE* read inside SleeperThread.
The behavior is kept aligned with the old module semantics: stdout lines still emit updates, non-zero exits still surface as errors, and restart-interval still respawns the command.

Add a small GLib-backed helper for command stdout that integrates with the main loop instead of blocking on getline() in a worker thread.
The helper keeps the existing child setup semantics used by Waybar commands, including process groups, parent-death signaling, and WAYBAR_OUTPUT_NAME propagation.
This is the foundation for moving long-running custom commands away from manual poll/read logic in the module itself.

PR #4190 (merged as 93d85a0) reworked getNetworkState() so the rfkill
"disabled" state is evaluated whenever the module has no carrier. Because
the module always watches an RFKILL_TYPE_WLAN switch, a wired ethernet
module whose cable is unplugged (carrier lost) would return "disabled"
instead of "disconnected" whenever the system's WLAN radio happened to be
rfkill-blocked. With no format-disabled configured, that state falls back
to plain "format", so the interface kept looking connected after unplug.
rfkill only concerns wireless radios, so only honor it when there is no
interface at all or the current interface is actually wireless (detected
via /sys/class/net/<if>/phy80211 or /wireless). A wired interface that
lost its carrier now correctly reports "disconnected", while wifi rfkill
display from #4190 is preserved.
Fixes#4364.
When sway's event-subscription send buffer overflows during an event
flood, sway closes the client connection. The sway IPC event worker
(SleeperThread running handleEvent -> recv) then threw on every
iteration and the SleeperThread immediately re-invoked it, leaving the
sway modules broken while busy-looping on a dead socket and pegging a
CPU.
Mirror the niri backend's reconnect loop: on a read/EOF/parse error from
the event socket, close the old connection, back off for a couple of
seconds (so we don't busy-spin), re-open the socket and replay the same
subscriptions, then resume. A running_ flag set at the start of teardown
makes the worker bail out cleanly instead of reconnecting to a socket
that is being closed on purpose. The IPC message protocol and event
parsing are unchanged.
Fixes#3166.
The backlight module only enumerated and monitored the udev "backlight"
subsystem, so keyboard-backlight LEDs in the "leds" class (e.g.
white:kbd_backlight, platform::kbd_backlight) were never discovered and
the module fell back to the default when pointed at one.
Enumerate and monitor the "leds" subsystem in addition to "backlight".
Those LEDs expose the same brightness/max_brightness attributes, so the
read path is unchanged. Each device now records its subsystem so the
login1 SetBrightness call targets the correct one. Automatic device
selection still prefers a "backlight" device and only falls back to a
"leds" device when named explicitly or when no screen backlight exists.
Fixes#2848.
The WirePlumber module registers three async callbacks (onDefaultNodesApiLoaded,
onMixerApiLoaded, onPluginActivated) that receive a raw self pointer with a NULL
GCancellable. WirePlumber cannot withdraw an in-flight callback, so if the module
is destroyed before a queued callback fires (e.g. a temporary output/bar is removed
while a component load is still pending, or during an audio route transition), the
callback dereferences the freed self, causing heap corruption / a crash.
Guard each of these callbacks with isModuleAlive(), which checks the existing static
modules registry. The destructor already removes this from the registry before any
teardown, so a missing entry means self is dangling and the callback bails out
without touching it.
A GCancellable cannot fix this cleanly here: every callback dereferences self on its
first line, and wp_core_load_component completes via a WpTransition (not a GTask), so
the cancellable is not recoverable from the GAsyncResult either. The liveness check
must not touch self at all.
Fixes#3974.
wlr/taskbar reads on-click* config values (close, minimize, maximize,
fullscreen, minimize-raise, activate) directly as internal actions in
Task::handle_clicked, but never adopted the eventActionMap_/doAction
mechanism. As a result AModule::handleUserEvent additionally forkExec-ed
the same value as a shell command, e.g. on-click-middle: "close" ran the
action and then failed with "sh: line 1: close: command not found".
Register the taskbar built-in action names in eventActionMap_ so they are
recognized as module actions, and skip the shell forkExec in
handleUserEvent when the configured value is a recognized module action.
Non-action values are still run as user shell commands.
Fixes#3284.
The niri IPC worker slept 1ms per event and never reconnected. Under an
event burst the per-event cap back-pressures the socket, niri fills its
send buffer and drops the stream; read_line then returns false, the
detached thread exits and the module freezes permanently.
Remove the per-event sleep so events drain as fast as they arrive, and
wrap the socket setup and read loop in a reconnect loop that backs off
and re-establishes the stream on drop. A running_ flag lets the thread
exit cleanly on teardown.
Fixes#5117.
connectContext() throws std::runtime_error when pa_context_connect() fails.
It was called directly from contextStateCb (the libpulse mainloop thread,
running pure-C callback frames) on the PA_CONTEXT_FAILED reconnect path, so on
a pipewire/pulse restart the exception unwound across the C callback boundary
and triggered std::terminate/SIGABRT.
Add reconnectContext() noexcept which wraps connectContext() and logs failures
instead of throwing, and use it from the callback. Guard against the
FAILED -> connect -> FAILED recursion/busy loop with a reentrancy flag. The
constructor-time connectContext() still throws as before.
Fixes#5141.
set_current_layout() mutated label_'s GTK style context (remove_class/
add_class) while being called from the sway IPC worker thread via
onEvent(). Off-main-thread GTK widget mutation caused a SIGSEGV.
Record only the target layout in set_current_layout() and apply the
matching CSS class in update(), which the dispatcher runs on the GTK
main thread. A new applied_class_ member tracks the currently applied
class so update() can swap it. The shared layout_/applied_class_ state
is guarded by the existing mutex_.
Fixes#3702.
Post-0.15.0 review of the 0.15.0..HEAD range surfaced regressions and
bugs. This restores backward compatibility for existing configs/CSS,
fixes confirmed defects, and repairs the scdoc man-page build break on
master. Pango-markup tooltips are intentional and were kept.
Backward-compat restorations:
- AModule: honor legacy numeric Gdk::CursorType cursor values (int overload)
- memory: correct GiB divisor (was ~2.3% low); round bare {} placeholders
- wireplumber: scale max-volume into the linear domain so the cap works again
- idle_inhibitor: gate right/middle-click deactivate & scroll on dynamic-timeouts;
accept both dynamic-timeout(s); widen timeout to double (no fractional truncation)
- custom: keep #custom-<name>.<class> CSS selectors working (classes on box_)
- image: don't wordexp-split a single path; fall back to the literal path
- niri/window: restore hide-when-empty (new show-empty opt-in); escape tooltip
- wlr/taskbar: plain-text tooltip when markup is disabled
Bug fixes:
- tray: fix use-after-free in onAdd; guard the watcher retry timeout
- hyprland: clamp max-windows iterator (OOB); drop duplicate language tooltip block
- niri/window: supply {col}/{max_col} args in the empty branch (fmt::format_error)
- mpris: escape {dynamic}/{player} tooltip; fix dangling player; albumArtist source
- mango: fix use-after-free race (dispatch under callback_mutex_)
- mpd: contain throwing checkErrors in noexcept idle paths (no std::terminate/UAF)
- keyboard_state: always render every lock label, with guarded defaults
- bluetooth: bound GATT ReadValue timeout, opt-in + services-resolved gating,
preserve authoritative Battery1 percentage
- wireplumber: fix WpDevice reference leak / NULL handling
- battery, clock, dwl, wayfire, graph, custom_graph, transform, river: assorted
crash/logic fixes
Man page / build:
- niri-workspaces: fix scdoc "indented by an amount greater than 1"
(workspace-taskbar sub-options were mis-indented; breaks man-page build)
- document new show-empty (niri/window); correct network {txBitrate}/{rxBitrate}
Not compiled locally (no gtkmm on this host); C++ build relies on CI.
Man pages validated with scdoc 1.11.4.

Adds an ethernet link speed ({linkSpeed}) read from
/sys/class/net/<iface>/speed, plus a skip-decimal option on pow_format
to drop a trailing .0. Rebased onto master's store-based network
formatting; existing compact bandwidth args updated for the new
pow_format signature.
Adds a per-workspace app-icon taskbar (Workspace class) to the
niri/workspaces module. Rebased onto master: integrated with the
existing window-rewrite feature so the {windows} and {total} format
replacements continue to work alongside the new taskbar.
Rebased onto current master and fixed the privacy module build:
- privacy_item.hpp no longer includes privacy.hpp (it does not use the
Privacy class); this broke the circular include that left PrivacyItem
undeclared when privacy.hpp was reached first from privacy_item.cpp.
- privacy_item.cpp now includes gtkmm/label.h explicitly, since Gtk::Label
was previously only pulled in transitively via privacy.hpp.
Adds format-window-separator, window-rewrite and window-rewrite-default
options plus the {windows} format replacement to the niri/workspaces
module (rebased onto master; coexists with ignore-workspaces).
