Release Notes

3.0.4

New Features

  • Add window displacement options to move guake away from the screen edges

  • User can manually enter the name of the GTK theme it wants Guake to use. Note there is no Preference settings yet, one needs to manually enter the name using dconf-editor, in the key /apps/guake/general/gtk-theme-name. Use a name matching one the folders in /usr/share/themes. Please also considere this is a early adopter features and has only been tested on Ubuntu systems. Dark theme preference can be se with the key /apps/guake/general/gtk-prefer-dark-theme.

  • Allow make install-system to be run as non root user and print a message if so.

  • Quick open can now open file under selection. Simply select a filename in the current terminal and do a Ctrl+click, if the file path can be found, it will be open in your editor. It allows to virtually open any file path in your terminal (if they are on your local machine), but requires the user to select the file path first, compared to the Quick Open feature that finds file names using regular expression.

    Also notes that is it able to look in the current folder if the selected file name exists, allowing Ctrl+click on relative paths as well.

    Line number syntax is also supported: filename.txt:5 will directly on the 5th line if your Quick Open is set for.

Bug Fixes

  • fixes issue with vertically stacked dual monitors #1162
  • Quick Open functionnality is restored #1121
  • Unusable Guake with "hide on focus lose" option #1152
  • Speed up guake D-Bus communication (command line such as guake -t).

3.0.3

Release Summary

This minor release mainly focus on fixing big problems that was remaining after the migration to GTK3. I would like to akwonledge the work of some contributors that helped testing and reporting issues on Guake 3.0.0. Thanks a lot to @egmontkob and @aichingm.

The Preference window has been deeply reworked and the hotkey management has been rewriten. This was one the the major regression in Guake 3.0.

New Features

  • [dev env] automatically open reno slug after creation for editing
  • [dev env]: Add the possibility to terminate guake with Ctrl+c on terminal where Guake has been launched
  • Add "Infinite scrolling" option in "Scrolling" panel #274
  • Added hotkey for showing and focusing Guake window when it is opened or closed. It is convenient when Guake window are overlapped with another windows and user needs to just showing it without closing and opening it again. #1133

Known Issues

  • Quick Edit feature is not working (#1121)

Deprecations

  • Remove visible bell feature #1081

Bug Fixes

  • Command options do not work, crash when disabling keybinding #1111
  • Do not open Guake window upon startup #1113
  • Fix crash on increase/decrease main window height shortcut #1099

  • The hotkey management has been rewriten and is now fully functional
  • Rework the Preference window and reorganize the settings. Lot of small issues has been fixed. The Preference window now fits in a 1024x768 screen.
  • Fix 'Failed to execute child process "-"' - #1119
  • History size spin is fixed and now increment by 1000 steps. Default history value is now set to 1000, because "1024" has no real meaning for end user. #1082

Translation Updates

  • de
  • fr
  • ru

Other

  • The dependencies of the Guake executable has been slightly better described in README. There is an example for Debian/Ubuntu in the file bootstrap-dev-debian.sh which is the main environment where Guake is developed and tested.
  • Package maintainers are encouraged to submit their bootstrap-dev-[distribution].sh, applicable for other distributions, to help users install Guake from source, and other package maintainers.

3.0.2

New Features

  • Preliminary Dark theme support. To use it, install the 'numix' theme in your system. For example, Ubuntu/Debian users would use sudo apt install numix-gtk-theme.

Known Issues

  • Cannot enable or disable the GTK or Dark theme by a preference setting.

Deprecations

  • Resizer discontinued

Bug Fixes

  • Fix sudo make uninstall/install to work only with /usr/local
  • Fix translation mo file generation
  • Fix crash on Wayland
  • Fix quick open and open link in terminal

3.0.1

Release Summary

Minor maintenance release.

Bug Fixes

  • Code cleaning and GNOME desktop file conformance

3.0.0

Release Summary

Guake has been ported to GTK-3 thanks to the huge work of @aichingm. This also implies Guake now uses the latest version of the terminal emulator component, VTE 2.91. Guake is now only working on Python 3 (version 3.5 or 3.6). Official support for Python 2 has been dropped. This enables new features in upcoming releases, such as "find in terminal", or "split screen".

New Features

  • Ported to GTK3:
    • cli arguments
    • D-Bus
    • context menu of the terminal, the tab bar and the tray icon
    • scrollbar of the terminal
    • ctrl+d on terminal
    • fix double click on the tab bar
    • fix double click on tab to rename
    • fix clipboard from context menu
    • notification module
    • keyboard shortcuts
    • preference screen
    • port gconfhandler to gsettingshandler
    • about dialog
    • pattern matching
    • Guake.accel* methods
  • Guake now use a brand new build system:
    • pipenv to manage dependencies in Pipfile
    • enforced code styling and checks using Pylint, Flake8, Yapf, ISort.
    • simpler release management thanks to PBR
  • [dev env] reno will be used to generate release notes for Guake starting version 3.0.0. It allows developers to write the right chunk that will appear in the release note directly from their Pull Request.
  • Update Guake window title when: - the active tab changes - the active tab is renamed - the vte title changes

Known Issues

  • Translation might be broken in some language, waiting for the translation file to be updated by volunteers
  • Resizer does not work anymore
  • Package maintainers have to rework their integration script completely
  • quick open and open link in terminal is broken
  • Note for package maintainers: Guake 3 has a minor limitation regarding Glib/GTK Schemas files. Guake looks for the gsettings schema inside its data directory. So you will probably need install the schema twice, once in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/guake/data/ and once in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas (see #1064). This is planned to be fixed in Guake 3.1

Upgrade Notes

  • Minor rework of the preference window.

Deprecations

  • Background picture is no more customizable on each terminal
  • Visual Bell has been deprecated

Version 0.8.1

I started working on Guake 1.0.0, and not in a dedicated branch. It is now in its own source folder. We clearly need to move to gtk3 soon, since GTK2 is being discontinued, the VTE is no more maintained for GTK2-Python, and adds lot of cool features.

So I am now starting to work on a complete rewrite of Guake, so don't expect 0.8.x to see lot of new features, unfortunately. But Guake 1.0.0 will add features such as:

  • line wrap in terminal
  • search in terminal
  • dconf/gsettings to store configuration
  • GTK3 look and feel
  • much cleaner build and translation systems

But, this means I cannot work too much on 0.8.x. I still do some bug fixes, and thanks to external contributors that share the love for Guake, Guake 0.8 still moves on!

So don't hesitate to have a look in the code to fix any bug you are experiencing and submit a Pull Request.

New features: - a-la guake-indicator custom commands (#564) - by @Ozzyboshi! - Add option to allow/disallow bold font (#603) - by @helix84! - Clean current terminal item in contextual menu (#608) - by @Denis Subbotin

Bug fixes: - Terminal widget disappears at random times (#592) - Typo - by @selivan, @Ruined1

Version 0.8.0

I have been extremely busy the previous 3 months, so I have almost not worked on Guake. I wanted to introduce in the next version some major features heavily asked, like session save and split terminal. They will have to wait a bit more.

As a result, most of the contribution are from external contributors. Thank you very much for all these patches!

This releases introduces two major changes in the project, thus the minor version change.

First, the new homepage is now online:

http://guake-project.org/

As I remind you, Guake has not control over the old domain guake.org. So far the content is still one of the old content of this domain. So please use http://guake-project.org to reference Guake.

Source code of the Web site can be found here:

https://github.com/Guake/guake-website

The second major change in the project is the abandon of our internal hotkey manager globalhotkey, which was responsible for binding hotkeys globally to the window manager. This piece of code was extremely old and hard to maintain. This was also unnecessarily complexifying the build process of Guake. Thanks to the contribution of @jenrik, we are now using a pretty common package keybinder (Ubuntu: python-keybinder).

Bug fixes: - Guake fails to start due to a GlobalHotkey related C call fixed by replacing GlobalHotkeys with

keybinder. Fixed by @jenrik. (#558, #510)
  • Fix icon issue with appindicator (#591)
  • swap terms correctly when moving tabs (#473, #512, #588)
  • Remove last reference to --show-hide (#587)
  • fixed and completed german translation (#585)
  • Drop duplicated man page (a526046a)
  • use full path to tray icon with libappindicator (#591)

Version 0.7.2 (2015.05.20)

Bug fixes: - Fix Ctrl+D regresion (#550) - update Quick Open Preference Window

Version 0.7.1 (2015.05.18):

Some bug fixes, and cleared issues with new palette colors.

As side note, our domain 'guake.org' has been squatted by an outsider that seems only interested in getting money to release the domain. Since Guake is a small project, based on 100% OpenSource spirit, we do not want to loose more time on this subject. The guake website will be deployed soon on a new URL:

http://guake-project.org

Please do NOT use guake.org anymore, until we can retrieve it. We cannot be hold responsible for any content on guake.org anymore.

Bug fixes: - Background and font color inversed for some color schemes (#516) - Guake width wrong on non-Unity Ubuntu desktop (#517) - Add get_gtktab_name dbus interface (#529, #530) - Fix issue with selection copy (#514) - I18n fixes and updated Polish translation (#519). Thanks a lot @piotrdrag! - Remove add and guake icon in tab (#543) - prompt_on_close_tab option (#546) Thanks a lot @tobz1000! - Fix default shortcuts for move tabs

Version 0.7.0 (2015.05.02):

I had more time working on Guake recently, so I fixed some long term issues, and exposed some internal settings into the preference window.

Thanks for the external contribution: @varemenos, @seraff and others!

Here is the complete changelog for this release: - Reorganised palette definition, add a demo terminal in preference panel (#504, #273, #220) - Plenty of other new color palettes (thanks again @varemenos ! #504) - don't propagate COLORTERM environment variable in terminal (#488) - Force $TERM environment variable to 'xterm-256color' in terminals (#341) - Fix issue with the quit confirmation dialog box (#499) - Add shortcut for transparency level (#481) - Add label to tell user how to disable a shortcut (#488) - Expose cursor_shape and blink cursor method in pref window (#505) - Expose Guake startup script to the pref window (#198) - Some window management bug fixes (#506, #445) - Fix "Not focused on openning if tab was moved" (#441) - Add contextual menu item 'Open Link' on right click on a link (5476653) - Fix compatibility with Ubuntu 15.04 (#509) - Fix Guake Turns Gray sometimes (#473, #512)
