## Fix calc
There was a non-parsable grammar in the 'calc' part of the language.
The % operator (modulo) overloaded with percent and could leave to statements
having multiple valid but contradicting interpretations. To resolve this the modulo
operator is now `modulo`. Including in this patch several smaller issues with the
parser where fixed.
having multiple valid but contradicting interpretations.
To resolve this the modulo operator is now `modulo`.
## Text outline
Several smaller issues with the parser were also fixed in this patch.
## Text and cursor outline
Three new properties were added to textbox widgets to control text outline:
* `text-outline` boolean to enable outlines
* `text-outline-width` to control size
* `text-outline-color` to control color
![Outlines](./text-outline.png)
Outlines can also be added to cursors, via similarly named
properties (`cursor-outline-*`).
## Dependencies and packaging
In this version, we have bumped the minimal required versions of some
dependencies to keep up with bugs and deprecations while staying compatible
with long-term supported distributions.
* glib: 2.72 or newer
* meson: 0.59.0 or newer
This roughly corresponds to Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy and Debian Bookworm.
Generated man pages were removed from the git repository and now require
`pandoc` to build instead of `go-md2man`. If you compile from git, you
will now need to install `pandoc` to get the man pages.
Release tarballs still contain the files and can be installed without
additional tool.
## Other smaller changes
* new `.rasinc` extension for theme fragments included from other theme files
* `-ellipsize-mode` mode option in dmenu mode can be set to `start`, `middle` or `end`
to control how long entries are ellipsized
* `-list-keybindings` to print a summary of configured bindings
* `-window-prefer-icon-theme` to force precedence of theme icons over applications'
custom ones (#1702)
* `-placeholder-markup` to enable pango markup when rendering placeholder text (#1690)
* `urgent` and `active` flags can be controlled for each row in dmenu and script
modes
