I don't know how long this will work for (or if it will work for everybody), see #1016 for the ongoing discussion in case it breaks again or to report issues. * Bumped Go and Alpine versions ### v0.8.4 - Date: 2025-06-10 - Version: v0.8.4 - Original notes: https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/releases/tag/v0.8.4 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/glanceapp/releases/v0.8.4 - **added** — Added support for Material Design icons via mdi prefix - **changed** — Made the auto-invert icon prefix work for icons from libraries - **fixed** — Fixed multiple to-do widgets on a single page not working - **fixed** — Fixed the search widget shortcut (S) not working when using a keyboard layout other than English - **removed** — Removed the Docker image health check ##### New * Added support for [Material Design icons](https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/) via `mdi` prefix (thanks @NextBlaubeere) * Made the `auto-invert` icon prefix work for icons from libraries, so you can now do things like `icon: auto-invert sh:glance-dark` which will automatically invert dark icons to light depending on your theme ##### Fixes * Fixed multiple to-do widgets on a single page not working (thanks @rhijjawi & @tty2) * Fixed the search widget shortcut (`S`) not working when using a keyboard layout other than English (thanks @NikD0T) ##### Changed * The Docker image health check has been removed, for more information see #676 ##### New Contributors * @chenkhuaning0816 made their first contribution in https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/pull/687 * @thallada made their first contribution in https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/pull/689 * @chenrui333 made their first contribution in https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/pull/693 * @rhijjawi made their first contribution in https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/pull/705 * @septechx made their first contribution in https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/pull/699 ### v0.8.3 - Date: 2025-05-19 - Version: v0.8.3 - Original notes: https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/releases/tag/v0.8.3 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/glanceapp/releases/v0.8.3 - **added** — Added the ability to disable the theme picker via `disable-picker: true` under `theme` - **added** — Added `mod` function (modulo) to the custom API widget - **added** — Added `safeHTML` function to the custom API widget which prevents HTML from being escaped - **added** — Added `.Options.JSON` to the custom API widget which takes any nested option value and turns it into a JSON string - **added** — Added the theme key to the document root so that you can apply styles based on the selected theme - **fixed** — Fixed `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variables not getting used - **fixed** — Fixed truncated links' hover text having unnecessary whitespace ##### New * Added the ability to disable the theme picker via `disable-picker: true` under `theme` (thanks @NeoNyaa) * Added `mod` function (modulo) to the custom API widget (thanks @anant-j) * Added `safeHTML` function to the custom API widget which prevents HTML from being escaped (thanks @sudoexec) * Added `.Options.JSON` to the custom API widget which takes any nested option value and turns it into a JSON string (thanks @ralphocdol)
View example ```yaml - type: custom-api options: request-body: service: Session method: login params: username: ${USERNAME} password: ${PASSWORD} # useful if you need to send JSON in a request body template: | ... | withStringBody (.Options.JSON "request-body") ... ```
* Added the theme key to the document root so that you can apply styles based on the selected theme (thanks @EricKotato)

Before we get to details of all that... ##### Feedback wanted Deciding what features to add to a project like this is no easy task. Most self-hosted services focus on doing one thing and adding features around that thing, but with a personal dashboard/feed aggregator you can practically display _anything_, so how do you decide what does and doesn't belong? So far I've been prioritizing feature requests with a high number of upvotes and those I believe fit with the vision of the project, although admittedly Glance has deviated quite a bit from its initial purpose. As with almost all communities, a minority of people are very vocal about their wants and needs, while the majority are just riding along. Rather than guessing what the community as a whole would benefit from the most moving forward, I thought I could just ask through a short survey. [Link to the survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoNDjJYugVm6kb2NpVO5QO1inGbEeuydkta-XEIMRbgYIsXg/viewform) It's entirely anonymous, should only take about 1 to 3 minutes to complete, and I'd be happy to share the results once there are enough responses. Thank you to those who take the time to fill it out. ##### Jump to section * [Community widgets](#g-rh-1) * [New logo](#g-rh-2) * [New features](#g-rh-3) - [Nested config includes and new include syntax](#g-rh-4) - [Using Docker secrets within the config](#g-rh-5) - [Theme picker](#g-rh-6) - [Authentication](#g-rh-7) - [To-do widget](#g-rh-8) - [Hiding widget titles](#g-rh-9) - [Head widgets](#g-rh-10) - [Separate navigation and page widths](#g-rh-11) - [PWA configuration](#g-rh-12) * [Widget enhancements](#g-rh-13) - [[Docker containers] Container customization in the config, support for proxies, `category` and `format-container-names` properties](#g-rh-14) - [[Custom API] Synchronous API calls and `options` property](#g-rh-15) - [[Reddit] Support for application auth](#g-rh-16) - [[RSS] Conditional requests](#g-rh-17) - [[Monitor] `basic-auth` and `timeout` properties](#g-rh-18) - [[DNS Stats] Support for Technitium](#g-rh-19) ##### Community widgets If you weren't aware, there's now [a repository for widgets made by the community](https://github.com/glanceapp/community-widgets) with 40+ widgets available so far. Most are made using the `custom-api` widget, so adding them is as simple as copying them into your `glance.yml`. It's a great place to find new widgets, and if you have a widget that you think others would benefit from, please consider sharing it there. Thank you to everyone who has contributed! ##### New logo Big thanks to @Tom607 for offering help with the logo and going over dozens of different iterations! ![logo](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2a19f0c5-83bc-4ad0-8ccd-b78d4d11ad29) I believe it does a great job at conveying the widgety layout of Glance, while also being simple and clean, as is the rest of the design language. ##### New features ###### Nested config includes and new include syntax Up until now, you could only use the `!include` directive in your `glance.yml` file, but not within any of the included files. This has been changed so that you can includes files from within included files as many times as you need, meaning you can have a separate file for each page, a separate file for each column, and even a separate file for each widget if you wanted to: ``` glance.yml ├── home.yml │ ├── column1.yml │ │ ├── widget1.yml │ │ └── widget2.yml │ └── column2.yml │ ├── widget3.yml │ └── widget4.yml ``` In addition, the `!include` directive can now instead be written as `$include`.
