v2.0.0

Highlight

Welcome to this new 2.0.0 major release! 🥳 🎉

The two main changes of this release are:

• Rename of the project from zaman to manora
• Rewrite of the code from bash to rust 🦀

See the related merge requests for additional details and rationale.

The overall logic has been simplified as part of the rewriting process and some breaking changes are expected:

• The project and CLI name changed from "zaman" to "manora".
• The -o / --output and -O / --save flags has been merged in a single -s / --save flag, which expects a man page and, optionally, a file passed as arguments (manora --save <man-page> <file>). If is not specified, the man page is saved in a default "man_.pdf" file in the current directory. Omitting the argument do not open the menu anymore and is now treated as an error.
• Manora do not use rofi or dmenu to show the menu anymore but now uses its own built-in TUI menu (made with Ratatui).
• The build system now relies on cargo, the Makefile has been deleted.

You can check the new demo video to see manora in action!

Users are invited to remove zaman from their system and switch to manora instead (see the "Installation" chapter of the README for more details).

Full Changelog: v1.3.3...v2.0.0

v1.3.3

Highlight

This release brings changes to the build system so that the man pages are not compressed by default anymore. Indeed, compressing man pages is a distribution / user preference that should be handled on the packaging side rather than on the build system side.
Additionally, it can lead to unexpected side effects. For instance, gzip recording timestamps in metadata by default, which prevents reproducible builds (see 51efce8).

See https://cmpct.info/~sam/blog/posts/automatic-manpage-compression/ for detailed rational.

Styling

• Remove unconventional dots from output (#70) - (a330014) by @Antiz96

• (man) Don't compress man pages during build (#69) - (3048a2e) by @Antiz96

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.3.1

v1.3.0

Highlight

This release introduces a bunch of new features, most notably:

• Zaman now uses the default PDF reader defined in XDG Mime Applications on the system, zathura is now only used as a fallback option if no default PDF reader is set.
• Add auto-completion support for man pages. You can now use [TAB] when using zaman to auto-complete the man pages names (like you would do with plain man).

This release also includes multiple changes and improvements to the repo structure as well as the documentation.

Important note:
Some changes have been made to the way Zaman should be installed from source. Make sure to read the updated instructions (people using the AUR package are not affected).
