v0.21.0 Latest

Latest

Raffi v0.21.0 introduces automatic desktop application detection, configurable sort modes, and powerful new capabilities for script filters, including search fallbacks and live autocomplete. It also features significant internal refactoring of the Wayland UI and a new zero-cost debug logging system.

🚀 Features

Desktop App Auto-Detection: Automatically scans installed desktop applications (via .desktop files) to provide a default list of launchers when no valid configuration is found, enabling immediate use after installation (#168).
Sort Modes: Added a sort_mode configuration option (frequency, recency, or hybrid) for launcher entries. The MRU cache now tracks usage timestamps to support this and migrates automatically.
Search Fallbacks: Introduced a fallbacks general setting to display specified web searches or script filters at the bottom of the results list. These can execute commands and parse outputs directly from the native UI.
Script Filter Enhancements:
- Added support for passing environment variables (env) to script processes.
- Added min_query_length to prevent execution until a sufficient number of characters are typed, accompanied by a helpful UI prompt.
- Included a new live search script (scripts/search/search.py) that queries configuration files and provides DuckDuckGo autocomplete suggestions.
CLI Improvements: Added short CLI flags for config location (-c), print-only mode (-p), and cache refresh (-r). Also added a --debug-file=FILE flag to activate timestamped debug logging.

🧹 Maintenance / Refactoring

Wayland UI Modularization: Extracted the monolithic Wayland UI file into a dedicated subdirectory, organizing the logic into maintainable modules (actions, app, browser, currency, emoji, etc.).
Developer Documentation: Added AGENTS.md to detail project workflows and DESIGN.md to explain internal system structure, configuration models, and runtime behaviors.
Testing: Removed unnecessary reference dereferencing in test assertions to ensure compatibility with updated trait implementations.
Documentation: Fixed formatting and adjusted aside block placements in the quickstart guide.

📦 Dependencies

Updated Rust dependencies to their latest versions, including major updates for jni, read-fonts, thiserror, ureq (to 3.3.0), and schemars (to 1.2.1).
Bumped GitHub Actions for the website deployment workflow (setup-node v6, deploy-pages v5, upload-pages-artifact v4).

v0.20.0

b80390b

v0.20.0

This release introduces a new configuration format with automatic legacy migration, JSON Schema generation for enhanced editor support, and the launch of a comprehensive new documentation website.

The change will be made automatically, it basically move the entries to launchers like this diff, and add a version: 1 field

There is a brand new documentation website at https://chmouel.github.io/raffi

🚀 Features

Configuration v1 & Auto-Migration: Launcher entries are now grouped under a dedicated launchers key in the YAML file to improve structure. Legacy (v0) configurations are automatically migrated to this new format upon startup, and a backup of the original file is preserved.
JSON Schema Generation: Added automated JSON Schema generation for the configuration file, enabling editor autocompletion, hover documentation, and validation. The schema is automatically generated in the config directory, and can be printed directly using the new --schema CLI flag.
Enhanced Conditional Logic: Entries now support defining multiple visibility conditions at once (e.g., combining ifexist and ifenvset). Multiple conditions on a single entry are evaluated together using AND logic.
New Documentation Website: Launched a fully-featured documentation website built with Astro and Starlight, featuring quick starts, configuration schemas, UI previews, and integration guides. It is automatically built and deployed to GitHub Pages via a new GitHub Actions workflow.

🧹 Maintenance / Refactoring

Configuration Standardization: Removed support for absolute paths and path expansion in the binary and icon configuration fields to simplify and standardize configuration handling.
CLI Consistency: Renamed the --disable-icons CLI flag to --no-icons to align perfectly with the corresponding YAML configuration key.
README Overhaul: Streamlined the project README to focus on high-level features and use-cases, added the project logo, and migrated detailed configuration references to the new external documentation site.
Developer Guidelines: Added a CLAUDE.md file to instruct developers and AI assistants on updating documentation and configuration examples alongside code changes.

📦 Dependencies

Added schemars to support automated JSON Schema generation from Rust structs.
Added various Node.js dependencies (astro, @astrojs/starlight, sharp) to build and power the new documentation website.

v0.19.0

ff0155d

v0.19.0

Raffi v0.19.0 introduces a powerful new Emoji and Nerd Fonts picker addon, dynamically sourcing data from the rofimoji project, alongside UI performance enhancements and CI dependency updates.

🚀 Features

Emoji & Nerd Fonts Picker: Added a built-in fuzzy-matching picker for Unicode emojis and Nerd Fonts v3 icons. It supports customizable actions (copy, insert, or shell commands) and is enabled by default.
Dynamic Data Loading: The emoji picker now automatically downloads and caches dataset files from the rofimoji project directly into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/raffi/emoji/.
Configurable Datasets: Users can specify exactly which emoji and icon sets to load via the new data_files option under addons.emoji.
Cache Management: Added a --refresh-cache CLI flag to easily force a re-download of the cached emoji and icon data files.

⚡ Performance Improvements

Search Responsiveness: Greatly improved UI rendering speed and reduced memory allocations during emoji fuzzy-matching by capping displayed results to 50 items and reusing internal matchers.
