Rofi 1.7.0 is another bug-fix release that also removes a lot of deprecated features. Even though this might not be
popular, the deprecation of these options is needed to keep **rofi** maintainable.
Rofi 1.7.0 is another bug-fix release that also removes a lot of deprecated features. One of the biggest changes is
the removal of the (deprecated) xresources based configuration setup. With this removal, also a lot of hack-ish code has
been removed that tried to patch old config setups. While the deprecation might be frustrating for people who have not
yet converted to the new format, I hope for some understanding. Even though this move might not be popular, the
deprecation in previous releases and consequential removal of these options is needed for two reasons.
The most important one is to keep rofi maintainable and secondary to open possibility to overhaul the config system in
the future and with that fixing some long standing bugs and add new options that
where hindered by the almost 10 year old system.
Beside mostly bug-fixes some changes where made to improve the theming and 'abnormal' use of rofi.
Beside mostly bug-fixes and removal of deprecated options, we also improved the theming and added features to help in
some of the more 'off-script' use of rofi.
This release was made possible by many contributors, see below for a full list. Big thanks again to SardemF77 and
TonCherAmi.
