What's Changed

• [Nix update]: Bump to 2.0.1 by @github-actions[bot] in #115
• fix: launch state off by one bug by @grialion in #116

Full Changelog: v2.0.1...v2.0.2

New patch release, which means mainly bug fixes but still useful.

Bug Fixes

• BIG THING: Lidm now spawn the default session through a login shell, by default bash (packagers configure this). On the upside this should fix all of the remaining missing environment issues, all /etc/profile{,.d/} should be sourced on login now. The downsides is lidm depends on said shell now. It can be disabled in config though (#114)
• Other minor fixes/improvements related to using confstr and PATH everywhere needed in #114
• Previously, string.opts* options were not being applied to the user field (#110)

New Stuff

• Thanks to @ninetailedtori, now we have the 4 catppuccin themes in lidm (#109)
• The repo now uses git-lfs for media files, completely optional (unless you want to work with the media files) but it prevent bloating up the repository

Development

• (make) Installing for systemd automatically patches the Exec path according to PREFIX (#104)
• Removed the embedded AUR repos from here, now I'm not the only packager so it's not worth it tracking them as something centralized. (#113)
• Now source and header files can be nested in src/ and include/ respectively.

I'm also considering moving the themes/ folder to another repository to easily package default themes in AUR packages (like including them in /usr/share/lidm/themes). Could help ease this for other packagers too.

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.0.1

Long time without a release but I finally took the time and energy to make this one, sorry for the delay. Anyhow, big changes guys!

Also thanks for all the new contributions!! Glad to see people helping, this wouldn't be possible with your help.

Features

• Xorg support. This was allegedly always supported but I recently found it it was actually broken. It's now experimentally supported, experimental because the code is not very battle tested but in reality it should mostly work.
• Yubikeys are now supported (see documentation). Technically that's all done by PAM but there's some configuration to work better with such cases.
• Lidm now can find xorg and wayland sessions from /usr/local/share{x,wayland-}sessions.

Bug Fixes

• The Exec parser of desktop entries now is notably better, handles some stuff like basic %u, backslashes, quotes and arguments.
• The hostname is now displayed with left alignment, that increases the available space by like 2x and prevents truncation.
• Minor logic bugs fixed (ddc38ef).

Packagers

• Git revision and timestamp build info are now override-able at compile time.
• Packagers might now want to add PREFIX=/usr to the install command as the new default is /usr/local.. That means.
• Lidm now mostly installs to /usr/local by default to avoid mixing much with system packages.
• Lidm now also installs the systemd service to a more appropiate path (from /etc/... to /usr/(local/)lib/systemd).
• Resolved some license ambiguity, lidm is GPL-2.0-only, not -or-later.

Docs

• Some clarifications on misc stuff but the installation guide is now notably better. Also we now have a lidm fedora copr repo (#92)!!

Other

• Added a changelog for very important stuff only.
• Greatly simplified the Makefile's complexity.

Summary

Several big changes that greatly improve the quality of the project so I'm happy to announce these will be making the v1.0.0 release of lidm, the first major bump release.

Breaking changes

• New toml-like config fomat
  • Flexible syntax
  • Allows character escaping
  • Support for default values, no need to specify all keys.

Non Breaking Features

• Possible to debug lidm with a logger by specifying LIDM_LOG.
• Customizable date format.
• The "< " and " >" strings for selection items in UI are customizable too.
• Support for UTF-8 (can finally type "ñ" without breaking string lengths, ofc supports emojis too, your TTY doesn't).

Non Breaking Changes

• Code compatible with clang-tidy, now follows standard rules and style.
• Added documentation on code structure and standards as an introduction for potential contributors.
• Debloated src/ui.c, now it's bearable.
