This is a new "browse" permission that lets you open (and subsequently list
contents of) directories underneath the path, but not regular files or any other
types of files.
This moves file extension to icon mappings from compile time macros to an
INI config file (/etc/FileIconProvider.ini), so file icons can easily be
customized and extended :^)
I also switched the format from a static file extension (".foo") to
glob-like patterns ("*.foo", using StringUtils::matches()), which allows
us to assign icons to specific exactly matching file names, like many
IDEs do - e.g. "CMakeLists.txt" or ".prettierrc".
It's a thin userland wrapper around adjtime(2). It can be used
to view current pending time adjustments, and root can use it to
smoothly adjust the system time.
As far as I can tell, other systems don't have a userland utility
for this, but it seems useful. Useful enough that I'm adding it to
the lagom build so I can use it on my linux box too :)
Most systems (Linux, OpenBSD) adjust 0.5 ms per second, or 0.5 us per
1 ms tick. That is, the clock is sped up or slowed down by at most
0.05%. This means adjusting the clock by 1 s takes 2000 s, and the
clock an be adjusted by at most 1.8 s per hour.
FreeBSD adjusts 5 ms per second if the remaining time adjustment is
>= 1 s (0.5%) , else it adjusts by 0.5 ms as well. This allows adjusting
by (almost) 18 s per hour.
Since Serenity OS can lose more than 22 s per hour (#3429), this
picks an adjustment rate up to 1% for now. This allows us to
adjust up to 36s per hour, which should be sufficient to adjust
the clock fast enough to keep up with how much time the clock
currently loses. Once we have a fancier NTP implementation that can
adjust tick rate in addition to offset, we can think about reducing
this.
adjtime is a bit old-school and most current POSIX-y OSs instead
implement adjtimex/ntp_adjtime, but a) we have to start somewhere
b) ntp_adjtime() is a fairly gnarly API. OpenBSD's adjfreq looks
like it might provide similar functionality with a nicer API. But
before worrying about all this, it's probably a good idea to get
to a place where the kernel APIs are (barely) good enough so that
we can write an ntp service, and once we have that we should write
a way to automatically evaluate how well it keeps the time adjusted,
and only then should we add improvements ot the adjustment mechanism.
Now the functions can actually be demonstrated by small examples,
embedded right inside the documentation via:
spreadsheet://example/<page>#<example_name>
Also allows pages to link to each other via the same scheme:
spreadsheet://doc/<page>
This is implemented in Line::Editor meaning not only the Shell will
respect it, but also js, Debugger etc.
Possible values are "ignorespace", "ignoredups" and "ignoreboth", as
documented in Shell-vars(7), for now.
The default value for the anon user (set in .shellrc) is "ignoreboth".
The configuration key [DNS] Nameserver has been renamed to Nameservers
and accepts a comma-separated list of nameserver addresses, which will
be queried in the given order until a response has been received.
The new default value is still Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 as well as their
secondary DNS server 1.0.0.1.
For themes with primarily light text colors and dark backgrounds the
current almost-white background/black text tooltips look a bit out of
place. I've changed them to what I believe are sensible colors but theme
authors are of course free to tweak further.
The main inspiration behind this was to have a correct ex CSS unit.
The mean line is based off what it shows in the CSS Values and Units
Level 4 specification, section 6.1.1.
