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.

not arriving and the bar not shutting down/restarting properly and let us
know if you find any issues.
([`#2384`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2384))
- Slight changes to the value ranges the different ramp levels are responsible
for in the cpu, memory, fs, and battery modules. The first and last level are
only used for everything at or below and at and above the edges of the value
range, respectively. The other levels are evenly distributed over the value
range as before.
for in the cpu, memory, fs, and battery modules. The first level is used for
everything at and below the start of the value range and the last level for
everything at and above the end of the value range. The other levels are
evenly distributed over the value range as before. The value range is bounded
by the new warning thresholds.
