# V1.0.0 - Welcome in 2016
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current release, after a long development cycle, is finally out. This version features two major rewrites in the
|
||
|
|
hope to improve maintainability and code quality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## XLib to GLib
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the help of SardemFF7 **rofi** we broke free from the massif xlib and moved to xcb. This resulted in cleaner and
|
||
|
|
faster code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## GLib Mainloop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Beside the large xcb move, we also started using a Glib Mainloop. This allowed us to remove several complex code
|
||
|
|
structures. This change should be mostly invisible for the user, beside the fact that the cursor in the entry box now
|
||
|
|
blinks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Config file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not everybody seems to like configuration via Xresources, so for those people we now support a configuration file in
|
||
|
|
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi/config`, or passed from the commandline via the `-config` option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## "Regression"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There where also some victims of the big rewrite, we decided to remove an old remnants from the simpleswitcher era,
|
||
|
|
namely daemon mode. In our opinion this is duplicate functionality, if you are using **rofi** it is very likely you are
|
||
|
|
either running a window manager (like i3) that implements global hotkey functionality, or running a keyboard daemon like
|
||
|
|
sxhkd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also the old method of specifying themes has been removed.
|
||
