0.6.1 Release

Just a single bug fix.

Bug Fixes

• #473: Fix missing string creation for memory usage in collapsed entries.

0.6.0 Release

Finally, another release... this was originally supposed to release months ago, but burnout and things like school and starting/finding a new job have severely impacted my rate of development. I'm really sorry about that!

For those unaware, due to my very slow rate of pushing out stable releases, I also have a nightly release, which will build every day. For those who want features/fixes out faster, I recommend taking a look at that.

There were also supposed to be a few more features I wanted to get done first as part of 0.6.0, but with the rate they were going, it would take probably another few weeks or a month, and I decided to push them ahead to a future release.

With that out of the way, there's lots of new stuff, some of which are from contributors. If I missed anyone, sorry. Thanks for everything!

Features

• #263: Fine-grained kill signals (courtesy of @LlinksRechts) - bottom defaulted to kill -15, but now, on Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS), you can directly choose which kill signal you want (no effect on Windows, sadly!):

You can disable this feature if you want with the --disable_advanced_kill flag or config option, which will instead revert to the older style with just two options.

• #333: Scroll position indicator using --show_table_scroll_position:

• #379] --process_command flag option to default to showing the full process command by default.

• #381: Added network interface filters. This is useful if you, for example, want to exclude a specific interface - you can add it in the config file like so:

[net_filter]
is_list_ignored = true
list = ["virbr0.*"]
regex = true
case_sensitive = false
whole_word = false

A better way of doing this in-app will come in the future.

• #392: Thanks to @pvanheus, you can now see CPU times on Unix-based systems. This is currently only supported in non-basic modes, and shows the CPU times as part of the widget title:

Support for basic modes and probably more configuration will come in the future.

• #406: Added Nord colour schemes. This can be enabled either in the config file or command line with color=nord or color=nord-light.

• #409: Add Ctrl-w and Ctrl-h shortcuts in search in order to delete a word or a character respectively.

• #413: Added mouse support for sorting process columns:

This is only for the process tab for now, sorting + all this will come to other tables in a future release.

• #425: Added users as a column in the process widget for Unix-based systems.

• #437: Revamped network y-axis, with linear scaling, unit type, and prefix type options. The new default is a linear scale that uses base 10 units (kilo, mega, giga...) and bits. This is opposed to the previous system relying on base 2 units (kibi, mebi, gibi...) and bytes. These options can be changed using:

  • --network_use_binary_prefix: Switch to using a binary prefix
  • --network_use_bytes: Switch to using bytes
    ---network_use_log: Switch to a logarithmic scale

In an effort to present as much information as possible as well, the new linear scale version will adjust its current y-axis range based on its current window of data to try to give as much information as possible. For example, when it's low, it might look like this:

But after we load something, the usage is now in Mbs:

• #445: Collapsing in tree mode now sums the usage to the parent. This is helpful if you collapse a process' child processes, but still want to know the "usage" that the collapsed children would be using in addition to the parent.

• #455: Add mount point filter, slightly reworked how the filter system works. The mount point filter syntax looks like:

[mount_filter]
is_list_ignored = true
list = ["/mnt/.*", "/boot"]
regex = true
case_sensitive = false
whole_word = false

Since the mount point filter works in conjunction with the disk filter, we adjusted how the filter system works. It now checks, in order of precedence:

1. If a disk entry is directly allowed by the filter (if is_list_ignored = false).
2. If a disk entry is directly blocked by the filter (if is_list_ignored = true).
3. All remaining entries are allowed.

Changes

• #372: Hide SWAP legend and graph if it is 0.

• #390: Courtesy of @Frederick888, macOS shouldn't require elevated privileges to see CPU usage on all processes now.

• #391: Thanks to @ehamberg, show a degree symbol for Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures.

• #418: Sorting no longer forces a jump to the top in a menu.

• #420: Prettier looking tables (mainly with row selection) due to a new tui-rs version.

• #437: Add linear interpolation to give nicer looking graphs when entries start to move off-screen.

• #443: Make process widget consistent with disk widget in terms of using decimal prefixes.

• #449: For literal memory usage values, add decimal point to values greater or equal to 1GiB.

• #450: Adjust default-light colour scheme to look better on white terminals.

• #451: Add decimal place to disk values larger than 1GB for total read/write and read/write per second for both the disk and process widget.

Bug Fixes

• #416: Fixes grouped vs ungrouped modes in the processes widget having inconsistent spacing.

• #417: Fixes the sort menu and sort shortcuts not syncing up.

• #423: Fixes disk encryption causing the disk widget to fail or not properly map I/O statistics.

• #425: Fixed a bug allowing grouped mode in tree mode if already in grouped mode.

• #440: Thanks to @zebp , fixed a potential segfault with the new users column.

• #467: Switched CPU usage data source to fix a bug on Windows where occasionally CPU usage would be stuck at 0%.

0.5.7 Release

Just some cherry-picked bug fixes:

• #373: Fixes incorrect colours being used the CPU widget in basic mode.

• #386: Fixes hide_table_gap not working in the battery widget.

• #389: Fixes the sorting arrow disappearing in proc widget under some cases.

• #398: Fixes basic mode failing to report CPUs if there are less than 4 entries to report.

0.5.6 Release

Bug Fixes

• #361: Fixed temperature sensors not working at all on non-Linux platforms (they may still have some issues on Windows in some cases).
