Conky v1.24.0

Conky v1.24.0 adds new text-object options for richer built-in rendering, fixes several runtime and build issues, and refreshes the contributor toolchain around mise, Bun, Lefthook, and consolidated CI.

No breaking configuration changes are expected for existing Conky configs.

Full Changelog: v1.23.0...v1.24.0

Highlights Since v1.23.0

Text Objects

• Added sysfs-backed bar variables for Linux hardware monitoring: hwmonbar, i2cbar, and platformbar. These let configs render sensor values as bars without shelling out through execbar.
• Added an optional width argument to hr and stippled_hr, allowing horizontal rules to be capped at a specific pixel width while preserving existing defaults.

Runtime Fixes

• Aligned periodic updates to wall-clock second boundaries so ${time} output updates on time instead of drifting up to nearly a second late.
• Fixed a crash when XDG_SESSION_TYPE is present but empty.
• Fixed X11 mouse event propagation regressions that could duplicate clicks and scroll events on other windows.
• Fixed a graph argument parsing edge case for leading -m / minheight values.

Build and Contributor Workflow

• Fixed BUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON with BUILD_LUA_CAIRO_XLIB=OFF so Cairo is linked when Lua Cairo support needs it.
• Added a locked mise development environment, updated contributor documentation, and moved web/helper tooling to Bun.
• Consolidated CI into a single workflow with a stable final All checks passed job for branch protection.
• Added version bump automation through mise r version:patch, mise r version:minor, and mise r version:major.
• Installed Lefthook hooks automatically for contributors entering the repo through mise.
