0.9.26 - 14 Mar 2015

Minimum OS X version: 10.8

Note

There are two API changes in this release, both in hs.eventtap. See the Extensions section below for more information

Added: Preferences window now includes an option to disable sending crash reports, and a link to our privacy policy for crash reports. We would humbly request that you not disable the crash reports, as they are super helpful to us in improving Hammerspoon.
Added: Crash reports now include the location of C libraries loaded by Hammerspoon (we are trying to track down some crashes that make no sense and may be coming from stale on-disk libraries)

Fixed: hs.notify should no longer cause crashes
Changed: hs.eventtap.newKeyEvent() modifier table has changed. Values are now inspected, rather than keys.
Changed: hs.eventtap.keyStrokes() has been replaced with a different implementation that no longer accepts a modifiers table. The old implementation (which was always more suited to sending single key strokes) is still available, as hs.eventtap.keyStroke()
Changed: hs.pasteboard functions can now work with named pasteboards (useful for integrating with other automation tools)
Added: hs.drawing objects can now be filled with linear gradients
Added: hs.drawing.rectangle() objects can now be rounded rects
Added: hs.drawing.image() for rendering simple pictures on-screen (including animated GIFs)
Added: hs.usb for enumerating currently attached USB devices (in a future release, this will also be able to watch device insertions/removals)

Minimum OS X version: 10.8

Fixed: hs.eventtap.event.newKeyEvent() now actually works!
Added: hs.screen:rotate()
Added: hs.timer.usleep() for times when you are feeling crazy and want to block all of Hammerspoon for a few microseconds
Added: hs.hotkey now offers an optional repeat callback for when hotkeys are being held down
Changed: hs.hints.windowHints() now has an optional parameter to accept a table of windows to limit hints to (e.g. windows from the current application)
Changed: hs.eventtap.event mouse events now explicitly mask off keyboard modifiers, or can optionally specify particular modifiers
Changed: hs.drawing methods now return the object they are operating on, so you can chain the calls
Changed: hs.hotkey.new() now accepts raw keycodes
