Zig Rewrite (Version 1.0.0)

Config Options

res/config.ini contains all of the available config options and their default values.

Additions

• border_fg has been introduced to change the color of the borders.
• term_restore_cursor_cmd should restore the cursor to it's usual state.
• vi_mode to enable vi keybindings.
• sleep_key and sleep_cmd.

Note: sleep_cmd is unset by default, meaning it's hidden and has no effect.

Changes

• xinitrc can be set to null to hide it.
• blank_password has been renamed to clear_password.

Removals

• wayland_specifier has been removed.

Save File

The save file is now in .ini format.

Example:

user = ash
session_index = 0

Misc

• Display server name added next to selected session.
• getty@tty2 has been added as a conflict in res/ly.service, so if it is running, ly should still be able to start.
• XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is now set by ly.
• LANG is no longer set by ly.
• X Server PID is fetched from /tmp/X{d}.lock to be able to kill the process since it detaches.
• Non .desktop files are now ignored in sessions directory.
• PAM auth is now done in a child process. (Fixes some issues with logging out and back in).
• When ly receives SIGTERM, the terminal is now cleared.
