Over the time the complexity of tag properties steadily increased, it was time for a change. The new format combines regex and match properties and also adds the possibility to add more than one match to a tag.

Old configs are still useable, if there is a regex property found it will be used and a deprecation warning yielded.

Also it is now possible to set window types to tags, so subtle will treat this window as a window of specific type, e.g. as a desktop type window.

Here is a brief overview of the changes:

{{column(:start)}}

Old

tag "test1" do
  regex "test1" 
  match [:role]
end

tag "test2" do
  regex "test2" 
  match [:instance, :class]
end

tag "test3a" do
  regex "test3a" 
end

tag "test3b" do
  regex "test3b" 
  match [:name]
end

{{column(:mid)}}

New

tag "test1" do
  match :role => "test1" 
end

tag "test2" do
  match [:instance, :class] => "test2" 
end

tag "test3" do
  match "test3a" 
  match :name => "test3b" 
end

{{column(:end)}}

And finally the type works like this:

tag "type" do
  type :desktop
end
