Quoting Connor Lane Smith <[email protected]>:
The change was intentional. The logic being that lines go in and a line comes out... Rather than some fragment of a line. (dmenu strips newlines when reading, and restores them when printing.) Is there a reason why you preferred the earlier behaviour?
No reason to prefer one behavior to another here, but I do prefer consistency. =)
I maintain yeganesh (see <http://dmwit.com/yeganesh> for more info), and profiles have started getting cluttered up with a version with a newline and a version without from people upgrading dmenu. However, as long as there's a clear policy on which versions will output an extra newline it's easy to work around by checking the output of "dmenu -v" first.
