If you are on Arch or Gentoo, you can update using my repositories. Otherwise just clone it/git pull.

• Customizable alpha (without recompiling)
• Mouse and Keybind configuration in the config file
• Usage of arrays in spmenu_desktop leading to much, much better performance
• Fixed macOS support
• Added Caps Lock indicator
• Inner padding (margin)
• Many changed arguments and config file/.Xresources entries
• Better documentation
• Many, many bug fixes

There's also a new spmenu specific wiki, where information regarding spmenu will be posted.

Unfortunately, this update likely means your configuration files and themes will have to be rewritten to support it. However all the default themes have been rewritten, so you can just replace your installed themes with those. This is for maintainence reasons though, so I thought doing it before 1.0 was a good idea.

1.0 is released now, install it now!

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

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.

• Don't use stupid sed/variable jank in meson.build, as one good sir pointed out to me it's not necessary
• Optimization is now set by the buildconf
• Debloat build.sh script
• Fix a bug where the caret may be moved if an item to the left/right is selected
• Enable highlighting for entries that use SGR sequences
• Add option to not allow typing if what is being typed doesn't have any matches. spmenuify uses this.
• Rename some headers to more fitting names
• Change some default keybinds (your existing spmenu.conf will still work)
