  • Plugin jar files will now only parse the classes provided in the plugin.la package, all others will be treated as other resources and classes needed to run the plugins and not specially evaluated by the tool.

Version 2.10

  • The result of an evaluated expression will now display its type in the tile label, but the copied value no longer includes the type annotation in brackets.
  • Errors related to unresolved symbols have been reformatted, such that the message now fits into a single more readable line.
  • The input cursor now stays visible when hovering over the bar, even if the arrow keys were not yet used during this input.
    I found this to be more distracting than useful.

Also, if anyone out there is still using the bar, you're amazing and I hope you still enjoy using it!
I sure still do ;-)

In this release, a significant upgrade to the Launch Bar has been made. The prior expression evaluator, com.fathzer:javaluator, has been replaced with a new, custom-developed programming language: The Menter Interpreter.
This is a functional programming language, more about which can be found at the Menter language repository: https://github.com/YanWittmann/menter-lang.

Here's what's new:

  • Removal of the old expression evaluator
  • Integration of the Menter Interpreter
  • Introduction of chart plotting functionality using the plot(space(0, 5), x -> x ^ 2) function in Menter
  • Upgrading j2chartJs to version 1.2 to fix the truncation issue with large numbers

As always, I appreciate your support of the Launch Bar! Any suggestions or bugs can be reported via the repository's issues section.

    • Trailing braces now don't have to be closed for the expression to be valid
    • I am really proud of this new evaluator, it has helped me quite a lot and grew with me over the last few months,
      as I learned new things during my studies. Please, check out the documentation to learn how to use it!
