What's Changed

• add pre-commit by @spyoungtech in https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/pull/128
• Code style pre-commit hooks by @spyoungtech in https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/pull/129
• Implement win_wait and make win_get consistent with find_window by @spyoungtech in https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/pull/149
• Add UTF-8 codepage explicitly by @spyoungtech in https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/pull/150

This release has some potential breaking changes, as the API for win_get and (async) find_window have changed slightly.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/compare/v0.13.0...v0.14.0

v0.13.0

Major new feature is Daemon Mode #111 which is now available as a preview/experimental feature.

Several fixes for Async API and other bug fixes are also included in this release

Adds base asyncio support.

While the existing user-facing APIs remains mostly untouched, there are some significant and potentially breaking changes in this version:

• Default parameter of blocking for a couple functions is changed from False to True
• Internal API has shifted around quite a bit. Template generation and script running have been split in all (or most) methods
• Typos in classes and modules were corrected (registry.py and RegistryMixin)

Adds support for adding directives to all scripts

Adds fixes for key state

Adds set_capslock_state

Other improvements

• Adds tooltip/traytip GUI functionality (Thanks @yedhrab for this contribution)

• Renames registry methods (read/write/delete/set_view, etc now raise a deprecation warning, suggesting to use new names: reg_read/reg_write/reg_delete etc)

• Fixes a bug (#96) where using an equal sign breaks type/sendraw

Adds 'delay' and 'press_duration' to win_send functionality (Thanks @DizzyThermal) #83

Adds Window.click functionality - using ControlClick (Thanks @DizzyThermal) #82

Fixes typo in Window a method, now correctly spelled activate_bottom #90

This release adds the blocking parameter to keyboard functions so that these functions can be called in a non-blocking fashion.

This release features a bunch of new windows commands! (Thanks yedhrab!)

Adds safeguards and warnings for instantiating ahk with executable_path

added method find_window_by_class (and its generator) + class_name property (thanks Pestitschek)

Minor release. Includes fix of return value for some functions. #60

Adds modifier options for image search. #59
