v1.3.0

Oh look, another minor release.

Added

• The unique_bangs plugin option. This indicates whether the database should remove bangs with duplicate URLs and very useful for removing aliases from cluttering the search results.

Updated

• The description of the plugin metadata keeping up with the recent convention.
• The database has been reworked. This shouldn’t affect end users overall.

Fixed

• The cache format has been changed to give more accurate search results.

v1.2.0

I don’t think this is a good application of "Release early, release often" but there are minor behavior changes for the plugin. Which means a new version of the plugin.

Changed

• The plugin can now only accept one bangs database file at a time.
• force_download default value from true to false due to fixed behavior.

Fixed

• force_download now forces to download the database and use the local plugin path (e.g., $HOME/.local/share/pop-launcher/plugins). This is considered a fix because I didn’t realize force_download is essentially useless. ;p

v1.1.0

Main highlight of this release is the addition of plugin-specific configuration. It should be located in $POP_PLUGIN_PATH/bangs/config.json. Unlike the bangs database, the configuration is not merged between different plugin paths.

Added

• A plugin-specific configuration file.
  • force_download (boolean) lets you configure to force download of database file when missing.
  • max_limit (number) indicates the maximum number of search results to be returned.
  • db_url (string) points to the URL of the default bangs database used together with force_download.
  • default_bangs (array[string]) is a list of bangs to be used when no bangs are found from the search query; handy for quicker search especially when you’re used to searching with your default search engine of choice.

Fixed

• Return the search results sorted by relevance when in the launcher service.
