0.5.1

Release 0.5.1

Release Notes

Overview

This release introduces configuration file support, allowing you to save and load your preferred settings across sessions instead of re-entering command-line options every time. It also includes several bug fixes and internal code quality improvements.

Features

• Configuration file support — Loadbars can now read settings from a config file, making it easy to persist your preferred display options (host list, toggles, dimensions, etc.) without lengthy command lines.
• Write config support — Save your current runtime settings to a config file directly from within loadbars, so you can capture a working setup and reuse it later.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed --showcores option — The core display toggle now works correctly.
• Fixed auto text disable — Automatic text rendering (which turns off text labels when the window is too small) no longer misbehaves across multiple scenarios.
• Fixed config file parsing bugs — Several issues in read_config that could cause incorrect or ignored settings have been resolved.

Breaking Changes

• Removed --title option — The --title command-line flag has been removed. If you relied on it in scripts, you will need to update them.

Improvements

• Added structured error codes internally for more reliable error handling.
• Copyright information is now printed to stdout on startup.
• General code formatting cleanup and improved inline documentation.
