Fixed
-----

* Unsupported icon formats not being skipped when loading application

[177]: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/177

Release 1.8.0

Added
-----

* Support for file based configuration ([#3][3]).
* Customizable key bindings ([#117][117]).
* "Custom" key bindings (like Rofi’s `kb-custom-N` key
  bindings).
* If `argv[0]` is _dmenu_, fuzzel now starts in dmenu mode
  ([#107][107]).
* `--password=[CHARACTER]` command line option. Intended to be used
  with “password input”; all typed text is rendered as _CHARACTER_,
  defaulting to `*` if _CHARACTER_ is omitted ([#108][108]).
* `Ctrl+y` binding to execute selected entry.
* `Ctrl+j`/`Ctrl+k` binding to move to the next/previous item
  ([#120][120]).

* Quoted environment variables in `Exec` arguments are now supported ([#143][143]).
* Multiple space-separated search words can now be entered at the prompt.
* `-M,--selection-match-color`, that lets you configure the color of
  matched substrings of the currently selected item
* New config option `image-size-ratio`, allowing you to control the
  size of the large image displayed when there are only a “few”
  matches.
* Support for icons in dmenu mode, using Rofi’s extended dmenu
  protocol ([#166][166]).
* `--layer` command line option, allowing you to choose which layer to
  render the fuzzel window on (`top` or `overlay`) ([#81][81]).
* `--no-exit-on-keyboard-focus-loss` command line option
  (`exit-on-keyboard-focus-loss` config option) ([#128][128]).

Changed
-------

* `-i` is now **ignored**. This is to increase compatibility with
  other similar utilities. To set the icon theme, either use the long
  option (`--icon-theme=THEME`), or set it in the configuration file
  (default: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fuzzel/fuzzel.ini`) ([#149][149]).
* Minimum required meson version is now 0.58.
* libpng warnings are now routed through fuzzel’s logging
  ([#101][101]).
* Nanosvg is now the default SVG backend. librsvg is still supported,
  and can be used by setting the `-Dsvg-backend=librsvg` meson option.
* It is no longer necessary to close stdin when using fuzzel in dmenu
  mode, as long as `--no-run-if-empty` is **not** being used
  ([#106][106]).
* Improved performance of initial rendering of icons ([#124][124]).
* `--terminal` now defaults to `$TERMINAL -e`.
* Font shaping is now applied to the prompt
* The large image displayed when there are only a “few” matches is now
  smaller by default.
* Swapped meaning of the command line options `-p` and `-P`; `-p` is
  now the short option for `--prompt` ([#146][146]).
* Do not add icon-sized padding on the left size in dmenu mode
  ([#158][158]).
* Color config values are now allowed to be prefixed with `#`
  ([#160][160]).

Fixed
-----

* User `.desktop` entries with `NoDisplay=true` not overriding system
  entries ([#114][114]).
* Icon lookup is now better at following the XDG specification.
* Backspace removes not only the previous character, but also
  everything **after** the cursor.
* Crash on exit in dmenu mode when selection list is empty.
* Keypad `enter` not executing the selected entry ([#138][138])

Release 1.7.0

Added
-----

* `-F,--fields=FIELDS` command line option, allowing you to select
  which XDG Desktop Entry fields to match against
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/63).
* Support for desktop entry actions
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/71).
* Fuzzy matching. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled with
  `--no-fuzzy`. When enabled, the fuzziness can be adjusted with
  `--fuzzy-max-length-discrepancy` and `--fuzzy-max-distance`
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/56).
* `--index` (dmenu mode only): print selected entry’s index instead of
  its text (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/88).
* `--log-level=info|warning|error|none` command line option
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/34).
* `--log-no-syslog` command line option.
* `--log-colorize=auto|never|always` command line option.

Changed
-------

* Fuzzel now refuses to start if there is another fuzzel instance
  running (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/57).
* Treat "Apps" as valid context for applications to support more
  icon themes (for example, Faenza)
* The `Name` entry of the desktop files are no longer used as unique
  identifiers. Instead, we now generate the “desktop file ID”
  according to the XDG desktop entry specification, and use that as ID
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/68).
* All XDG data directories are now searched when loading an
  icon. Previously, only XDG data directories where the theme
  directory contained an `index.theme` file were searched
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/62).
* Pressing Tab when there is a single match now executes it
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/77).
* Use a lock file instead of parsing `/proc` to prevent multiple
  fuzzel instances from running at the same time
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/84).
* The application list is now populated in a separate thread, in
  parallel to initializing the GUI. This reduces the risk of missing
  keyboard input (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/82).
* Icons are now loaded in a thread. This allows us to display the
  application list quickly (initially without icons, if loading them
  takes “too” long).
* Fuzzel now exits with exit code 0 when the non-dmenu launcher is
  aborted (no application has been launched) by the user
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/98).

Fixed
-----

* Long entries overrunning the right side padding
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/80).
* Tab and Shift+Tab not wrapping around
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/78).
* Visual glitches in the corners, when using rounded corners
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/90).
* Regression: `--dmenu --lines=0` crashing
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/92).

Release 1.6.4

Added
-----

* Support for [nanosvg](https://github.com/memononen/nanosvg) as an
  alternative SVG backend. Nanosvg is bundled with fuzzel and has
  **no** additional dependencies. This means you can now have SVGs
  without depending on Cairo.

Changed
-------

* Meson option `-Denable-png` replaced with `-Dpng-backend=none|libpng`.
* Meson option `-Denable-svg` replaced with `-Dsvg-backend=none|librsvg|nanosvg`.

  KiCAD (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/47).
* SVG icons containing multiple icons not being limited to the main
  icon (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/48).

Release 1.6.3

Added
-----

  prompt.

Changed
-------

* `-f,--font` now supports explicit font fallbacks.

Release 1.6.2

Added
-----

* `-s,--selection-text-color` command line option, that lets you
  configure the foreground/text color of the currently selected item
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/37).

Changed
-------

* Use `rsvg_handle_render_document()` instead of
  `rsvg_handle_render_cairo()` on libsrvg >= 2.46, since the latter
  has been deprecated (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/32).

Fixed
-----

* Icons not being searched for in all icon theme instances
* Crash when XKB compose file is missing
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/35).

Release 1.6.1

Fixed
-----

* Wrong font being used for some entries if guessing monitor fuzzel
  will appear on, and guessing wrong
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/31).

Release 1.6.0

Added
-----

* Text shaping support (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/20).
* Option for vertical padding between prompt and match list.

Changed
-------

* fcft >= 2.4.0 is now required.
* In dmenu mode, fuzzel now prints the keyboard input as is, if it
  does not match any of the items
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/23).
* The `.desktop` filename is now also matched against
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/25).

Fixed
-----

* Set initial subpixel mode correctly when there is only one monitor.
* Crash when `~/.cache/fuzzel` contained invalid/corrupt entries.

Fixed
-----

* Icon size calculation with scaling factors > 1

Release 1.5.3

Fixed
-----

* Compilation when both PNGs and SVGs have been disabled.

Release 1.5.2

Changed
-------

* Maximum icon height reduced, from the `line height`, to the `line
  height` minus the font's `descent`. This ensures a margin between
  icons.

Fixed
-----

* Crash when compositor provided bad monitor geometry data
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/17).

Release 1.5.1

Fixed
-----

* Regression: border not being rendered when `--border-radius=0`, or
  if fuzzel was built without cairo
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/15).

Release 1.5.0

Added
-----

* meson option `-Denable-svg=[auto|enabled|disabled]`. When disabled,
  _librsvg_ is no longer a dependency and SVG icons are
  disabled. Default: `auto`.
* meson option `-Denable-png=[auto|enabled|disabled]`. When disabled,
  _libpng_ is no longer a dependency and PNG icons are
  disabled. Default: `auto`.
* meson option `-Denable-cairo=[auto|enabled|disabled]`. When
  disabled, fuzzel will not be able to draw rounded corners, nor
  support SVGs (regardless of what `-Denable-svg` is set to)
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/10).
* `-I,--no-icons` command line option; disables all icons
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/12)
* FreeBSD port.
* `-x,--horizontal-pad` and `-y,--vertical-pad` command line options
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/12).
* `--line-height` and `-letter-spacing` command line options
  (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/issues/12).

Fixed
-----

* Wrong colors when not fully opaque.
* Rendering of SVGs containing multiple icons.
* Font being incorrectly scaled on rotated monitors.
* PPI being calculated incorrectly.
* Crash on keyboard input when repeat rate was zero (i.e. no repeat).

Release 1.4.2

Fixed
-----

* Subpixel antialiasing was not applied correctly on opaque
  backgrounds.

Release 1.4.1

Fixed
-----

* Incorrect extension for man pages.

Release 1.4.0

Release 1.3.0

* Fixes to zsh completions
* New dependencies: tllist and fcft. The move to fcft brings a lot of
  font rendering improvements.

Release 1.2.0

* Project name change: f00sel -> fuzzel
* Font fallback; fuzzel now uses fontconfig+freetype directly to
  render glyphs (instead of cairo). This allows us to do font fallback
  when a glyph cannot be found in the primary font.
* Unbreak PKGBUILD with **pacman-5.2**
* Verify the Wayland compositor implements the minimum interface
  versions we require (or higher)
* Improved zsh completions
* Internal refactoring that will ease continued development
