            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 1.1 release. There are many changes, such as:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>New theme.conf. Support for legacy themes also removed</li>
                    <li>spmenu_profile removed, a separate program must now be used for managing themes</li>
                    <li>Meson is now used to build the project, although it should be noted that you can still use the build.sh.</li>
                    <li>Add option to return item index</li>
                    <li>Fix color emojis crashing in case the user is using an old libXft version</li>
                    <li>Desktop entries are now validated before being displayed/cached</li>
                    <li>Caching is no longer optional, this allows a better codebase, and no one in their right mind would want it disabled anyway</li>
                    <li>Add option to read entries from a file allowing entries to be auto updated when the file has been changed</li>
                    <li>Add Arc-Dark theme to themes/</li>
                    <li>Clean up warnings when -Ofast is used</li>
                    <li>Replace suckless coding style with my own</li>
                    <li>Properly indent all C code</li>
                    <li>Use pascal case for clicks in the keybinds.h and mouse.h headers as well as the spmenu.conf</li>
                    <li>No longer use PDFs</li>
                    <li>Fix -nxrdb/xrdb arguments</li>
                    <li>Fix duplicate entries in spmenu_run when using the -cc argument caused by arrays not being cleared before reuse</li>
                    <li>Add 256 colors to the sgrcolors array by default</li>
                    <li>And much more.</li>
                </ul>
                <p>You can get the new release through pacman if you're using my Arch repository, or you can simply get the source code and compile it yourself.</p>

            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 1.1.1 release. Very small release, but it fixes small issues with 1.1, such as:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Don't use stupid sed/variable jank in meson.build, as one good sir pointed out to me it's not necessary</li>
                    <li>Optimization is now set by the buildconf</li>
                    <li>Debloat build.sh script</li>
                    <li>Fix a bug where the caret may be moved if an item to the left/right is selected</li>

                    <li>Add option to not allow typing if what is being typed doesn't have any matches. spmenuify uses this.</li>

                    <li>Change some default keybinds (your existing spmenu.conf will still work)</li>

            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 2.0 release. This release fixes many bugs, but notably adds in experimental Wayland support. It is enabled by default.</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Add Wayland support</li>
                    <li>Code cleanup</li>
                    <li>Remove UTF-8 toggle</li>
                    <li>Use Cairo for everything, no more X11 specific libraries for drawing. This also means arrows look much better.</li>
                    <li>Remove colorschemes, colors are now passed directly to drw_text.</li>
                    <li>Add bind.conf file, which can be used to configure keybinds individually</li>
                </ul>

            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 2.0.1 release. This release fixes some issues with release 2.0.</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Fix alpha option for Wayland</li>
                    <li>Fix X11 support. It would work under Xwayland but not a real X11 window manager</li>
                    <li>Update URLs after the cgit to gitea migration</li>
                    <li>Add license notice to all the scripts</li>
                    <li>Remove old and outdated comments from the example .Xresources file</li>
                    <li>Disable broken X11 only features under Wayland.</li>
                    <li>Remove old USEPANGO code</li>
                    <li>Fix typo in <code>die()</code> call</li>
                    <li>Bash is now a dependency in the PKGBUILD, as it should be</li>
                    <li>Freetype is no longer a dependency in the PKGBUILD, it's not necessary</li>
                    <li>Move the code for opening the display to <code>readstdin()</code>, so .Xresources can be used if Wayland as the primary protocol is enabled, but X11 is actually used.</li>
                    <li>Don't remove spmenu-VERSION.tar.gz when creating a pacman package.</li>
                </ul>
                <p>You can get the new release through pacman if you're using my Arch repository, or you can simply get the source code and compile it yourself.</p>

            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 2.1 release. This release is once again mostly a bug fix update, but introduces some pretty cool stuff.</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Add X11 toggle, so now spmenu can run 100% on Wayland without any X libraries installed.</li>
                    <li>Add option to override path to theme file, useful for Pywal.</li>
                    <li>Drop official macOS support (it will most likely still work though).</li>
                    <li>Massive documentation improvements</li>
                    <li>Remove old preview image, add new screenshots including some animated gifs.</li>
                    <li>Add rounded variant of the powerline</li>
                    <li>Add support for images on Wayland too.</li>
                    <li>Keybinds in the config file are now one liners, so the default config is a lot more user friendly.</li>
                    <li>Indent lines in the default config file</li>
                    <li>Fix previously undiscovered bugs with the keybind handling</li>
                    <li>Replace the spmenu colorscheme with a new colorscheme</li>
                    <li>Enable rounded powerlines and indentitems by default</li>
                    <li>Update spmenu(1) and spmenu_run(1) to point to this repository instead.</li>
                    <li>Fix one instance of a keybind conflict causing multiple keybinds to be activated.</li>
                    <li>Move the rest of the headers to libs/</li>
                </ul>
                <p>You can get the new release through pacman if you're using my Arch repository, or you can simply get the source code and compile it yourself.</p>

            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 2.1.1 release. Some cleanup and fixes after the 2.1 release, nothing too major.</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Replace deprecated MD5() function (yay!)</li>
                    <li>Remove unused cursor code from (now) draw.c</li>
                    <li>Move libs/libdrw/drw.c to libs/draw/draw.c and libs/libdrw/drw.h to libs/draw/draw.h</li>
                    <li>Move libs/sl/main.c to libs/main.c and libs/sl/main.h to libs/main.h</li>
                    <li>Add slightly safer strncpy() function to main.c and use it everywhere</li>
                    <li>Fix keybind conflict in the Wayland keybind array, 2.1 forgot this.</li>
                    <li>Add options to the config allowing width, height and padding for the cursor/caret to be set in the config file.</li>
                    <li>Cleanup menu height setting by calling a single function instead</li>
                    <li>Fix a freeze when certain parts of spmenu is hidden and an image is drawn</li>
                    <li>Fix compiling when !USEIMAGE</li>
                    <li>Massively clean up image drawing code</li>
                    <li>Don't include Xlib in draw.c if !USEX</li>
                    <li>Fix fullscreen image mode height</li>
                    <li>Fix typo causing image gaps to set the image height in the config file</li>
                    <li>Simplify .gitignore, much of what it used to contain is no longer useful</li>
                    <li>Add -fl or --feature-list argument allowing you to see what features were compiled in</li>
                    <li>Allow forcing xdg directory if $XDG_CACHE_DIR is unset, mostly useful for debugging</li>
                    <li>Add image resizing toggle, in case you want the menu height to never change</li>
                </ul>
                <p>You can get the new release through pacman if you're using my Arch repository, or you can simply get the source code and compile it yourself.</p>

                    <li>Remove fullscreen functionality, it's not useful and you can just scale the image up. It caused several bugs, none of which were worth fixing</li>
                    <li>Remove duplicate Xinerama code, now only get window width/height once and assign it to a variable</li>

                    <li>Return exit code 1 if no item is selected using the -fm spmenu_run argument</li>

                </ul>
                <p>You can get the new release through pacman if you're using my Arch repository, or you can simply get the source code and compile it yourself.</p>

            <![CDATA[
                <p>spmenu 3.1 release. This release fixes some issues and cleans up the codebase, but doesn't really add much new.</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Regenerate cache if spmenu width/height has changed. This fixes issues (and potential segmentation faults) when drawing</li>

                    <li>Remove/change some key and mouse binds</li>
                    <li>Significantly improve documentation for keybinds</li>
                    <li>Remove `pango_highlight` option, it's useless because Pango isn't being highlighted.</li>
                    <li>Fix powerline cutoff for big images</li>
                    <li>Change default alpha value from 200 to 222, making it more (but not fully) opaque</li>
                    <li>Fix massive argument typos caused by `sed` misuse. This won't happen again</li>
                    <li>Replace a lot of outdated information in the man pages</li>
                    <li>Move up/down on left/right when !lines</li>
                    <li>spmenu_run now respects NoDisplay and OnlyShowIn</li>
                    <li>spmenu_run now supports Desktop Action headers in .desktop entries</li>
                    <li>spmenu_run will now display the `Comment` rather than the `GenericName` if available</li>
                    <li>Add Swedish translations for spmenu desktop entries</li>
                    <li>Move `spmenu_run` functions into separate scripts loaded in as necessary. This results in major speed improvements but isn't noticeable to the user</li>
                    <li>Cleanup spmenu_run code significantly</li>
                    <li>Add `ClickNone`, which will simply allow clicking anywhere.</li>
                    <li>Don't merge the end powerline with the start powerline of the next item when !lines</li>
                    <li>Simplify SGR sequence handling, fixing width weirdness</li>
                    <li>Replace many variable names with simple ones</li>
                    <li>Caret height is now dynamic based on `sp.bh`</li>
                    <li>Fix incorrect color usage in the config file</li>
                    <li>Simplify and speed up reading of standard input</li>
                    <li>Now generate SHA256 and MD5 hash for tarballs and pacman packages</li>
                    <li>Remove `ClickSelItem`. You should now replace it with `ClickItem` and set the function to `selecthover` with any argument</li>
                    <li>Fix bug in package creation</li>
                </ul>
                <p>You can get the new release through pacman if you're using my Arch repository, or you can simply get the source code and compile it yourself.</p>
