6.5.0: Unicode 16.0

This release brings (almost) no new functionality, but an update to Unicode 16.0 with its new emojis!

Additionally, if you don't specify any files on startup, you will now get emojis in the official order. Thanks to @Asmageddon for the hint 🙏

6.4.0: Bugfix and Feature

A small release containing Unicode characters with their HTML named references (thanks to @raboof for the feature) and an important fix to use icons in rofi but still showing descriptions (thanks to @alba4k, @Procrat and @LiamSnow for their help debugging this).

6.3.2: More fixes

One more small fix for the rofi mode.

6.3.1: Fixes

This small releases fixes to bugs:

• Merging descriptions from different files was broken
• rofimoji crashed when showing too many filesets

Thanks to the reporters, @toxision, @c4rlo and @polyzen 🙂

6.3.0: Updates all around

After a long time, a new release and new features:

• Kaomoji are finally supported! (★^O^★) (#182, #162)
• tofi, bemenu and wmenu are now supported
• Recent characters will only include characters from the current fileset (#173)
• Gitmoji and FontAwesome have been updated to the latest version

As always, thanks to the contributors @k0ral, @will-lynas, @mcourteaux, @op, @ZerdoX-x, @42willow, @IndigoLily, @niksingh710, @polyzen and to everyone for their support! 🙏

Just a regular update

rofimoji is by now quite stable and contains all of the features I ever imagined for it. Thus, new releases aren't very exciting anymore (or frequent). This one brings:

• Updated data files for Unicode 15.1 (including the new emojis), FontAwesome and NerdFonts.
• Avoided crash when there was no typer available, but it's also not needed (#158).
• A bug fix for Fuzzel (#156).
• Updates to the documentation.
• The first additional emoji description (#151).

As usual, thanks to everyone who contributed (@tranzystorek-io, @vain, @latipun7, @ncfavier) or who just uses rofimoji 🙏 I hope you enjoy it 😊

More color, less bugs

This smaller release brings mostly some bugfixes, but the major new feature is a forced emoji representation. Now your ❤ should look more like ❤.

As usual, thanks to all the people who helped with this release! 🙏

Grids! Menus! New emojis! 🪇

As becomes the norm, this release contains several new features and changes:

• If you don't want to remember hotkeys, you can use --action menu now to comfortably choose what rofimoji should do with your characters.
• There's now an example rofi theme for a grid layout, together with a --hidden-descriptions parameter to only show the characters while still searching through the descriptions.
• The --files parameter now supports globbing with *.
• Emojis are now split into several files so you don't need to load flags if you never use them.
• Emojis are now updated to v15, FontAwesome is 6.2.0, NerdFonts 2.2.2 and Gitmoji 3.13.0
• Lots of changes behind the scenes, with a different code structure and Poetry

And, as usual, thanks to everyone who opens pull requests or issues or just uses rofimoji 😊🙏
I've started this project a bit over five years ago, when there was no real alternative. To think that it's steadily been growing since then, adding the cool features I've dreamed of and lots of ones I didn't even think of, being used by so many people is truly amazing. Thank you! 🤯😊

Dry run for 6.0.0

This pre-release is a release candidate for the next major version, in order to iron out the last kinks coming from the major changes (and to give packagers a chance to test it):

• rofimoji is now managed with poetry
• a large refactoring and splitting of the code base
• and finally, an example for a rofi theme

Please report any bugs you find! 🙂

Compability update

rofi changed its behavior slightly in the last versions so that empty checkboxes (◻) are shown when multi-select is enabled, which rofimoji does.
As this is quite distracting, this new version of rofimoji disables the empty checkboxes. There are still markers if multiple entries are selected.

Thanks goes out to @alpheratz0! 🙏
