NickelMenu v0.2.0

on GitHub

This release is the second major feature update for NickelMenu.

• Breaking change: For simplicity, nickel_extras:web_browser has been renamed to nickel_browser. Note that if you aren't providing any additional arguments, you still need to include a : (like menu_item:main:Web Browser:nickel_browser:).
• Breaking change: To improve future-proofing so breaking changes won't need to be made in the future and to make the new option for explicit values simpler, the arguments for nickel_setting have changed. Instead of only specifying the setting name to toggle, you specify the action (toggle, enable, disable), and then the setting name. For example, instead of using nickel_setting:invert, you need to use nickel_setting:toggle:invert. This will make it easier to deal with non-boolean settings in the future, or to add additional setting-related functionality.
• NickelMenu now supports reloading configuration files without a reboot.
• Automatic reloading for generators are also supported.
• The configuration parser has been rewritten and is now cleaner and more efficient (this change shouldn't be noticeable in general).
• Explicit values for nickel_setting are now supported. You can now do things like nickel_setting:enable:force_wifi and nickel_setting:disable:force_wifi.
• Custom URLs for nickel_browser are now supported.
• There is a new modal option for nickel_browser to open it as a pop-up window. This works from any screen, including the web browser itself.
• You can now add custom CSS stylesheets to all web pages with the nickel_browser action.
