+
+## Version 0.19 (October 27, 2013)
+
+As of this release, the old bug tracker at Google code is deprecated.
+Please use [Github's tracker] for new bugs.
+
+_New features_
+
+ - New monitor `BatteryN`, a variant of `BatteryP` that lets you
+ specify the name of the monitor in the template.
+ - Support for configuration file living in `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` (see
+ [github #99]).
+ - `Com` uses safer `runInteractiveProcess` instead of spawning a
+ shell (David McLean). If you're using shell expansion in your
+ `Com` (e.g. "~/bin/script") here's a workaround: `Run Com
+ "/bin/bash" ["-c", "~/bin/script"]` (cf. [github #127]).
+ - New plugin `UnsafeStdinReader` that allows actions from stdin.
+ Now it's possible to have clickable workspaces!
+ (Thiago Negri, see [github #125]).
+ - New monitor configuration option (`-x` or `--nastring`) that allows
+ specifying what string to display when a monitor is not available
+ (defaulting to "N/A"). Cf. [github #119].
+
+_Bug fixes_
+
+ - Using the width options `-w`, `-m` and `-M` in battery monitors
+ watts display ([github #118]).
+ - Using the `-d` option in `CoreTemp` ([github #115])
+ - Fix for systems not supporting PCRE regular expressions: we use
+ now BCEs, so regex-compat should be enough everywhere (see
+ [github #117]).
+ - Weather monitor: support for stations without name (Sergei
+ Trofimovich, [issue #65]).

+
+## Version 0.18 (June 5, 2013)
+
+_New features_
+
+ - All extra argument monitors taking a string (e.g. `-O` for
+ `BatteryP`) accept now template variables (see [github #109] and
+ [#110]). Thanks to Todd Lunter.
+
+ - New battery monitor extra argument, `-i`, for the idle status.
+
+_Bug fixes_
+
+ - Safer standard input parsing, avoiding <action> injections.

+
+## Version 0.17 (May 5, 2013)
+
+_New features_
+
+ - Icons support: it's now possible to insert bitmaps in the template
+ (Edward O'Callaghan, Alexander Polakov and Tomáš Janoušek).
+ - Initial support for reacting to mouse clicks (Alexander Polakov).
+ - New `TopP` and `BottomP` alignments, taking left and right
+ paddings (thanks to Dmitry Malikov).
+ - New `<freeratio>` field for memory monitor (Peter Simons).
+ - New `allDesktops` and `overrideRedirect` configuration options,
+ providing dock behaviour in tiling WMs (when set to True and False
+ respectively). Cf. discussion at [github #105].
+ - Experimental `-d` (start as a dock) option, may address [github #67]
+ in some window managers.
+
+_Bug fixes_
+
+ - Partial (as reports go) fix for [github #77].
+ - Safer volume plugin (Dmitry Malikov).
+ - Battery percentage capped at 100% (RJ Regenold).

+
+
+## Version 0.16 (Dec 3, 2012)
+
+_New features_
+
+ - New monitor `AutoMPD`, which uses asynchronous events to display
+ MPD status (thanks to Ben Boeckel).
+ - New monitor `BufferedPipeReader` displaying data from multiple
+ pipes (thanks to Jochen Keil).
+ - New monitor `DynNetwork`, which detects the active interface
+ automatically, by Reto Hablützel
+ - New monitor, `Locks`, displaying the status of lock keys, by
+ Patrick Chilton.
+ - Extension for DBUS signal handling (Jochen Keil)
+ - Hide/Reveal: one can send signals to xmobar and make it (un)hide
+ itself (Jochen again).
+ - `PipeReader`'s default text is now configurable, by Reto Hablützel.
+ - Dependencies updated to latest mtl and libmpd (thanks to Sergei
+ Trofimovich).
+ - Dependencies on the deprecated dbus-core removed in favour of
+ dbus 0.10 (thanks to Jochen Keil).
+ - MPris2 now includes genre and composer among its fields.
+
+_Bug fixes_
+
+ - `DiskIO` now can report overall activity in all partitions of a device
+ which is not mounted itself (e.g., sda when sda1, sda3, etc. are
+ the mounted partitions). Thanks to John Soros. See [github #73].
+ - `DiskU`, the disk usage monitor, works again correctly on Linux,
+ instead of randomly crashing every now and then, and reporting
+ wrong used size.
+ - When using antialiased fonts, we were causing a memory leak in the
+ X server by repeatedly allocating colors that, apparently, the
+ server doesn't know how to get rid of (even when told so!). We're
+ caching them now and X server memory doesn't grow.
+ - Compilation errors and warnings with GHC 7.6 removed (thanks to
+ Raghavendra D Prabhu for his reports in [github #71]).
+
+_Known problems_
+
+Some users have reported problems with xmobar compiled with GHC 7.6 in
+ArchLinux: see [github #78] and pointers therein. Please, send
+reports of any problems or successes in that regard so that we can fix
+any remaining issues. Thanks!

+
+## Version 0.15 (June 4, 2012)
+
+_Incompatible changes_

+ - `Batt` monitor no longer uses `-c` to specify the charge file: it
+ should figure things out by itself (cf. [issue 69]).
+
+_New features_

+ - New command line option, `-C`, that allows *adding* commands to
+ those specified in the configuration file (Ben Boeckel).
+ - Dependency on GHC's threaded runtime has been eliminated.
+ - New MPRIS (versions 1 and 2) monitor, by Artem Tarasov.
+ - New monitor option `-d` to specify the number of decimal places to
+ display for float numbers. Defaults to 0. See [issue 58].
+ - New compilation option `--with_threaded`, to use GHC's threaded
+ runtime to compile xmobar. Disabled by default (cf. discussion in
+ [github #36]).
+
+_Bug fixes_
+
+ - Stricter build dependencies versioning in cabal file.
+ - [issue 56] vertical alignment of text improved.
+ - [issue 64] display of `watts` in `Batt` monitor fixed.
+ - [issue 69] miscellaneous battery reporting issues.

+## Version 0.13 (March 28, 2011)
+
+_New features_
+
+ - New `Volume` monitor displaying ALSA soundcards information, by
+ Thomas Tuegel.
+ - New `ThermalZone` plugin substituting `Thermal` and using linux's
+ *sysfs* interface (you need this one if you're using a kernel
+ version equal to or above 2.6.37). See [issue 44].

+
+ - In the process of solving [issue 14], we've broken those
+ configurations that rely on including alignment separators in the
+ input fed to `StdinReader`.
+ - The MPD plugin does not accept host and port options anymore: use
+ the environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT instead.
+ - The `Mail` plugin now takes a second parameter (a string)
+ specifying its alias. As a side-effect, this solves [issue 30].
+
+_Bug fixes_

+ the `/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online` file.
+ - [issue 40] Battery monitor now supports the new power_now, that
+ replaces current_now in linux kernels for v. 2.36 and above.
+ - [issue 42] More accurate net monitor rates.
+ - DiskIO, Cpu and MultiCpu monitors are also more accurate now.
+ - Text is now correctly centered vertically.
+ - `FullBM` border spec fixed.

+_New features_
+
+ - Window borders: configuration options `border` and `borderColor`
+ allow drawing borders around xmobar's window.
+ - New monitor, `Uptime`, showing the system uptime.
+ - New monitor argument (`-S`) to enable displaying the `%` symbol in
+ percentages or other suffixes (e.g., units in Uptime and Network);
+ the symbol is now never included by default.
+ - New 'run once' commands, by specifying a 0 refresh rate in `Run
+ Com` ([issue 26]).
+ - MPD monitor: updated to libmpd 1.5. New fields `ppos` (playlist
+ position) and `remaining` (remaining time). New configuration
+ options to specify MPD's host, user name and password.
+ - Battery monitor: new `watts` and `timeleft` fields (Petr Rockai),
+ and specific arguments to control coloring and thresholds of the
+ former.
+ - MultiCPU monitor: new `auto*` fields that automatically detect all
+ present CPUs (Ben Boeckel).
+ - CpuFreq monitor uses just one decimal digit for GHz values (Petr
+ Rockai).
+ - Mail plugin expands paths starting with "~/" (Ben Boeckel). Ditto
+ MBox.
+ - Weather monitor now skips not retrieved fields, instead of
+ displaying a long error message.
+ - New compilation flag, `all_extensions`.
+ - Documentation and website updates.
+
+_Bug fixes_
+
+ - [issue 23] Wireless monitor is now compatible with iwlib 29.
+ - [issue 24] Swap monitor's used ratio display fixed.
+ - [issue 25] Percentages only include `%` if requested using `-P`.
+ - [issue 31] MPD monitor now respects `-W` argument.
+ - Fixes in CPU frequency formatting, string alignment and colour
+ boxes in monitors (Norbert Zeh).
+ - TopMem and TopProc now use the `-L` and `-H` options correctly for
+ memory template fields.
