fidzu : gentoo

I'm happy to announce this release as it contains some very interesting developments in the project. This release was focused on core changes.

IMPORTANT notice

There are now two optional dependencies to py3status:

• gevent
  • will monkey patch the code to make it concurrent
  • the main benefit is to use an asynchronous loop instead of threads
    
• pyudev
  • will enable a udev monitor if a module asks for it (only xrandr so far)
  • the benefit is described below
    

To install them all using pip, simply do:

pip install py3status[all]

Modules can now react/refresh on udev events

When pyudev is available, py3status will allow modules to subscribe and react to udev events!

The xrandr module uses this feature by default which allows the module to instantly refresh when you plug in or off a secondary monitor. This also allows to stop running the xrandr command in the background and saves a lot of CPU!

Highlights

• py3status core uses black formatter
• fix default i3status.conf detection
  • add ~/.config/i3 as a default config directory, closes #1548
  • add .config/i3/py3status in default user modules include directories
• add markup (pango) support for modules (#1408), by @MikaYuoadas
• py3: notify_user module name in the title (#1556), by @lasers
• print module information to sdtout instead of stderr (#1565), by @robertnf
• battery_level module: default to using sys instead of acpi (#1562), by @eddie-dunn
• imap module: fix output formatting issue (#1559), by @girst

Thank you contributors!

ANSSI, the National Cybersecurity Agency of France, has released the sources of CLIP OS, that aims to build a hardened, multi-level operating system, based on the Linux kernel and a lot of free and open source software. We are happy to hear that it is based on Gentoo Hardened!

I am once again lagging behind the release blog posts but this one is an important one.

I'm proud to announce that our long time contributor @lasers has become an official collaborator of the py3status project!

Dear @lasers, your amazing energy and overwhelming ideas have served our little community for a while. I'm sure we'll have a great way forward as we learn to work together with @tobes Thank you again very much for everything you do!

This release is as much dedicated to you as it is yours

IMPORTANT notice

After this release, py3status coding style CI will enforce the 'black' formatter style.

Highlights

Needless to say that the changelog is huge, as usual, here is a very condensed view:

• documentation updates, especially on the formatter (thanks @L0ric0)
  
• py3 storage: use $XDG_CACHE_HOME or ~/.cache
• formatter: multiple variable and feature fixes and enhancements
• better config parser
• new modules: lm_sensors, loadavg, mail, nvidia_smi, sql, timewarrior, wanda_the_fish

Thank you contributors!
