### Breaking
Add initial support for an escape character (#2361)
Add a config parser method which, for now, deals only with escaping the
literal backslash character and logs an error message to inform the user
of the coming change.
The error message includes a properly escaped value for the user.
As a result of introducing an escape character('\'):
- Warn the user of any unescaped backslashes, as they will not be
treated as a literal character in the future
- For now, still treat a single backslash as a literal character
- Treat two consecutive backslashes as a single properly escaped
literal backslash
Also:
- Add documentation about the escape character to polybar(5) manpage
- Add info about the escape character to changelog
- Add testcases for ParseLineKeyTest
- Add new test ParseEscapedValueTest
Resolves: First step in #2354
Improve value parsing
- Take value arg in as an rvalue reference and move parsed value back
- Remove unnecessary if statement
- Rename function
- Improve error message
- Improve function description
- Format
Add escape character documentation to manpages
Add information about the escape character to the polybar(5) manpage.
Add info about the esacape character to changelog
Add test cases for ParseLineKeyTest
Fix ParseLineKeyTest test cases
Also make config parser method parse_escaped_value private.
Add tests for escaped_value_parser method
Also remove unsued include statement
Simplify parse_escaped_value in config_parser
Remove unnecessary escaped value generation, so we do not have to keep
track of index differences.

- We added the backslash escape character (\\) for configuration values. This
means that the literal backslash character now has special meaning in
configuration files, therefore if you want to use it in a value as a literal
backslash, you need to escape it with the backslash escape character. The
parser logs an error if any unescaped backslashes are found in a value. This
affects you only if you are using two consecutive backslashes in a value,
which will now be interpreted as a single literal backslash.
[`#2354` ](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2354 )
2020-12-17 14:37:28 -05:00
- We rewrote our tag parser. This shouldn't break anything, if you experience
any problems, please let us know.
The new parser now gives errors for certain invalid tags where the old parser
would just silently ignore them. Adding extra text to the end of a valid tag
now produces an error. For example, tags like `%{T-a}` , `%{T2abc}` , `%{rfoo}` ,
and others will now start producing errors.
This does not affect you unless you are producing your own formatting tags
(for example in a script) and you are using one of these invalid tags.

### Build
- Bump the minimum cmake version to 3.5
2020-12-21 21:43:06 -05:00
- The `BUILD_IPC_MSG` option has been renamed to `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG`
- Building the documentation is now enabled by default and not just when
`sphinx-build` is found.
- Users can control exactly which targets should be available with the following
cmake options (together with their default value):
- `BUILD_POLYBAR=ON` - Builds the `polybar` executable
- `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG=ON` - Builds the `polybar-msg` executable
- `BUILD_TESTS=OFF` - Builds the test suite
- `BUILD_DOC=ON` - Builds the documentation
2020-12-22 06:29:26 -05:00
- `BUILD_DOC_HTML=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the html documentation (depends on `BUILD_DOC` )
- `BUILD_DOC_MAN=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the manpages (depends on `BUILD_DOC` )
2020-12-23 20:02:53 -05:00
- `BUILD_CONFIG=ON` - Generates sample config
- `BUILD_SHELL=ON` - Generates shell completion files
2020-12-21 21:43:06 -05:00
- `DISABLE_ALL=OFF` - Disables all above targets by default. Individual
targets can still be enabled explicitly.
- The documentation can no longer be built by directly configuring the `doc`
directory.
2020-12-23 20:02:53 -05:00
- The sample config file is now placed in the `generated-sources` folder inside
whatever folder you invoked `cmake` from instead of in the root folder of the
repository.

- The `POLYBAR_FLAGS` cmake variable can be used to pass extra C++ compiler flags.
