Silere Shell 0.9.0

Upgrading: nothing to do.

Added

• Hovering a bar widget shows its click, alternate-button and wheel controls, and the full
  text of a window title too long to fit. Widgets › Indicators › Bar tooltips turns it off.
• Notification popups accept inline replies from applications that offer them.
• Bar › Spacing › Center between widgets balances the middle zone against both sides.
• A Bluetooth widget shows the connected device and its battery. Widgets › Show & order turns it on.
• Theme › Balance accent gives a wallpaper accent the strength of a hand-picked one.
• Widgets › Workspaces turns off the marker pulse that plays when the menu opens.

Changed

Bar

• The window title is a bar widget: put it in any zone, where it takes that zone's alignment,
  padding and dividers, and reorder it like the rest.
• The window title drops a track name the media widget in its zone already shows, and app
  branding its own app name repeats.
• The window title stops widening past a readable span on a wide screen.
• Titles from background windows update on a slower pass than the focused one.
• Dragging a bar widget outlines the slot it will drop into.
• The bar underline takes the accent colour.
• Bar effects stop animating after four minutes without input.
• The clock eases in and out as it is switched on and off.
• Hovering the active workspace before clicking it opens the menu without a first-time pause.

Menu and settings

• System › Maintenance opens with a health summary and keeps settings recovery at the end.
• Opening a settings dropdown folds the one already open.
• Reset in Widgets › Show & order uses the same confirm button as the rest of the menu.
• Settings says what Reduce motion pauses, the audio visualiser included.
• The power mode control follows a profile set from outside Silere.
• Theme says when the loaded palette carries no accent colour of its own.
• Widgets › Indicators › App name says where the name appears.
• Wi-Fi rows hold still while the signal drifts inside the tier their icon shows.
• Long Bluetooth, package and release-note lists scroll without hitching.

Notifications

• Runs of notifications from one app share a single header, and each card sizes to its own text.
• Hovering a notification in the menu swaps its timestamp for the remove button; removing one slides it out.
• A notification with more text than it shows carries a chevron.
• Notifications older than today show a clock time.
• A notification that updates in place, such as a progress bar, leaves the rest of the popup stack alone.
• Clear all in a notification popup uses the same button as the notification list.
• A long notification history scrolls smoothly.

Media

• A track playing from a private browser tab shows the browser instead of the hidden details.

Scripting and hooks

• Hooks run at most four at a time, and one still going after 30 seconds is stopped along with anything it started.
• An event that repeats while its turn is pending keeps only its newest arguments.
• menu settings <page> and settings <key> over IPC match a name without case.

Install and updates

• Silere requires Quickshell 0.3.1 or newer, and bash scripts/check.sh fails on anything older.
• bash scripts/check.sh reports whether Silere is set to start on login, from the compositor config or a systemd user unit.
• Removing the AUR package names the autostart line and Matugen block it cannot clean up itself.
• The README covers a first run; optional tools, scripting, hooks, performance and troubleshooting each moved to a page under docs/.

Fixed

Bar fixes

• The window title updates in place while a window keeps its identity, and crossfades when the window changes.
• The window title appears when a title arrives for a window that reported none.
• The window title shows on the focused monitor when the compositor names no output for a window.
• A long window title no longer stretches a narrowed bar, and the widgets beside it ease rather than twitch as it changes length.
• Widgets › Indicators › App name off keeps the app name hidden for a window that reports no title.
• A divider no longer sits beside a window title that has faded out.
• The underline sweep centres on a widget placed in the centre zone.
• Centre-zone widgets keep clear of a crowded side of the bar.
• Bar › Layout keeps the roundness slider reachable while the bar is docked, and stops it where the bar stops rounding.
• Turning off Widgets › Workspaces › Urgent window pulse also stops the off-page urgent dot pulsing.
• Workspace marker and page effects settle when their bar sleeps, the session goes idle, or their setting is turned off.
• The workspace marker keeps its place when a compositor event arrives while the bar is rebuilding.
• Clock digits and the bar's readouts hold still behind the overview and through an idle screen.
• The 12h clock counts one to twelve, with midnight and noon both reading twelve.
• On niri, a workspace counts as occupied whenever it holds windows.
• Bar readings reach a screen reader even where the bar holds values back until hover, and volume says when it is muted.
• The window title reaches a screen reader.

Menu and settings fixes

• A double-click no longer confirms a reset or an update install in one gesture.
• Restore defaults leaves settings unchanged when its safety backup cannot be written.
• Font and display-routing settings ease into the panel when device discovery makes them available.
• Feedback › Notifications says when a quiet-hours range starts and ends on the same hour.
• Widgets › Show & order lines its drag handles up in one column.
• System › Maintenance points at a package to install only when one is missing.
• Settings sliders line up with their row label.
• Accent and Base swatches say which setting they belong to.
• A row scrolled back into a long Bluetooth or update list no longer fades in from the row it replaced.

Notification fixes

• A notification stays expanded while the pointer rests on it.
• A notification body with no spaces, such as a long path or URL, wraps and expands.
• Notification icons fall back to the app's own icon, including on the first notification of a session.
• A notification popup older than an hour stamps its time in the chosen clock format.
• Notification history restamps its times when the clock format changes.
• Scrolling notification history no longer carries one entry's urgency colour onto another.

System fixes

• A background command stopped at its time limit takes its own child processes with it.
• Every background command Silere runs has a time limit, and the optional tool scan reports when it gives up.
• Configuration, palette, update and visualiser paths keep significant whitespace in an
  absolute XDG directory.
• CPU temperature warnings clear if their sensor disappears or starts returning invalid data.
• The disk tile reads filesystems with long or whitespace-containing device names.
• Malformed timezone coordinates no longer corrupt the night light's solar estimate.
• A removed nmcli no longer leaves a stale VPN indicator behind.
• The night light temperature set by hand is kept while Follow sun position is on, and returns when it is turned off.
• The power mode control offers only the profiles the machine supports.
• The battery percentage recovers on hardware that reports charge ambiguously, instead of staying wrong for the session.
• Bluetooth limits a pairing window to one minute even if the shell stops during an attempt.

Install and update fixes

• A fresh install finishes on the latest signed release.
• bash scripts/check.sh stops reporting failure on an install that is not a Git checkout.
• bash scripts/check.sh finds user services through the same XDG data fallback as the updater.
• Setting a bar widget order over IPC keeps each widget in one zone.
• A stalled update check or install cannot leave the update lock held after it exits.
• Installing an update refuses a newer release than the one shown on the confirmation screen.

Security

• Notification icons, images and album art no longer follow a filesystem path chosen by the
  sender. Inline images, local art files, web covers and installed application icons still work.
