This was my first open source project and I’m happy to announce the first major release with some cool new features. I really wanted an update module in Waybar that was on par with toolbar modules typically found in other operating systems.
This release introduces:
- updated “update commands/flags” for nixos 24.11
- the ability to configure whether you want your lock file updated or not, during the update check
- state files used to track the time of the last update to reduce updates between reboots
- a check for internet connectivity prior to updating
These may be Waybar limitations, but I need to look into it more. Things I still wish it did:
- animated spinner during the update process
- didn’t run immediately after booting or hibernating
Feedback and PRs welcome!
