Events

  • Change: Add key modifiers to mouse events (#216, #217).

Image

  • Upgrade Lodash to 4.17.5 (from 4.17.4).
  • Upgrade Sparkle to 1.19.0.

2.6.1

Release: 8.4.2018

New

  • Add support for one-time managed handlers for both keys and events (#201).

(#201).

Event

  • New: Function once(String event, Function callback) constructs a managed handler for an event that is by default only triggered one time and then disabled, for more control you can explicitly return false from the callback function and the handler will not be disabled until you return something else, for arguments see new Event(...)

Release: 13.7.2016

Bug Fixes

  • Fix issue that prevented Window#others(...) returning the correct windows based on the screen optional (#116).
  • Fix crash when trying to traverse spaces (#117).

2.2

Release: 12.7.2016

New

  • Adds support for mouse events (#90).
  • Phoenix now has a key–value storage that can be used to store values across reloads and reboots as JSON, see Storage (#97).
  • You can now run tasks asynchronously and retrieve their status, standard output and standard error. A new Task-object has been created to construct tasks, access their properties or to terminate the task, see its API (#98).
  • Keys, events and timers are now constructed with relevant constructors instead of creating them through the global Phoenix-object (#109).
  • Add support for British alternatives to the API (#113).

Changes

  • Breaking: Global Command-object has been removed, use Task instead as a direct replacement (#98).
  • Breaking: You can now have multiple Keys for a single key combination. However, only one can be enabled at a time. Previously binding would only change the callback for an existing handler if a previously bound key combination was used again. Now, binding a key combination will always return a new unique handler. As before, this new handler is always enabled by default. Subsequently, any previous handler for the key combination will therefor be automatically disabled (#99).
  • Breaking: Name and stylistic changes to the API (#108).
  • Breaking: KeyHandler has been renamed to Key, EventHandler to Event and TimerHandler to Timer (#109).
  • Debug configuration file suffix has changed from -debug.js to .debug.js.

Improvements

  • Improve API performance when system is under load (#75).
  • Improve start performance (#114).

  • New: Event mouseDidRightClick is triggered when the mouse did right click (#90).
  • Change: Event start is now didLaunch.

Phoenix

  • Deprecation: Function bind(String key, Array<String> modifiers, Function callback) has been removed, use constructor new Key(String key, Array<String> modifiers, Function callback) instead (#109).
  • Deprecation: Function on(String event, Function callback) has been removed, use constructor new Event(String event, Function callback) instead (#109).
  • Deprecation: Function after(double interval, Function callback) has been removed, use constructor new Timer(double interval, boolean repeats, Function callback) instead (#109).
  • Deprecation: Function every(double interval, Function callback) has been removed, use constructor new Timer(double interval, boolean repeats, Function callback) instead (#109).

Key

  • Change: Function enable() will disable any previous handler for the same key combination automatically (#99).

  • New: Function focusClosestNeighbour(String direction) focuses the closest window to the direction (west|east|north|south) of the window, returns true if successful (#108).
  • Change: Function focusedWindow() is now simply focused() (#108).
  • Change: Function windows() is now all(Map<String, AnyObject> optionals) (#108).

2.1.2

Release: 27.6.2016

Improvements

  • Implement setTimeout, setInterval, clearTimeout and clearInterval. This also adds support for timing related functions from Underscore (#92).
  • Make require throw an error if a file cannot be resolved (#93).

Changes

  • Upgrade Sparkle to 1.14.0. This also fixes the HTTP MITM-vulnerability discovered in Sparkle — though Phoenix was never vulnerable since we use HTTPS to secure updates.

Improvements

  • Adjust latency of context reloads on configuration file changes to limit race conditions (#83).
  • Objects that implement Iterable can be traversed. Namely, Screen and Space.
  • All handlers now receive their handlers as the last argument for the callback function.

Bug Fixes

  • Improve error handling in preprocessing (#65).
  • Fix an issue that prevented an exception raised in a handler callback to be caught and reported (#70).
  • Fix an issue that prevented setting the frame for a window correctly while moving it to a smaller screen (#84).

API

Events

  • New: Event spaceDidChange is triggered when the active space has changed.

Phoenix

  • New: Function after(double interval, Function callback) creates a timer that fires the callback once after the given interval (in seconds) and returns the handler, you must keep a reference to the handler in order for your callback to get called, the callback function receives its handler as the only argument.
  • New: Function every(double interval, Function callback) creates a timer that fires the callback repeatedly until stopped using the given interval (in seconds) and returns the handler, you must keep a reference to the handler in order for your callback to get called, the callback function receives its handler as the only argument.
  • New: Function set(Map<String, AnyObject> preferences) sets the preferences from the given key–value map, any previously set preferences with the same key will be overridden.
  • Change: The callback for function bind(String key, Array<String> modifiers, Function callback) now receives its handler as the only argument, previously the callback received no arguments.
  • Change: The callback for function on(String event, Function callback) now receives its handler as the last argument.

Changes

  • Amend license regarding the Phoenix icon assets contributed by Jason Milkins for not being under the MIT License (#61).

Bug Fixes

  • Support shells (e.g. Fish) that do not support -cl option shorthand in preprocessing (#57).

2.0

Release: 28.11.2015

New

  • Phoenix now supports events! See the API. To bind an event to a callback function, you call the on-function for the Phoenix-object.
  • You may now use JavaScript preprocessing and languages such as CoffeeScript to write your Phoenix-configuration (#45). Thanks @shayne!
  • Updates are now delivered and installed through Sparkle (#50).
  • Phoenix now supports additional configuration locations. In addition to ~/.phoenix.js, you may also use ~/Library/Application Support/Phoenix/phoenix.js or ~/.config/phoenix/phoenix.js if you prefer to do so (#52).

Changes

  • Phoenix has been rewritten and refactored from the ground up. This also means that Phoenix now requires OS X Yosemite (10.10) or higher. Xcode 7 is now required for building.
  • Supports OS X El Capitan (10.11).

KeyHandler

  • New: KeyHandler now implements Identifiable.
  • Change: You must now keep a reference to the handler, otherwise your callback will not get called.

  • New: Function screens() returns all screens.
  • New: Function windows() returns all windows for the screen.
