# 1.7.4:
Another maintenance and small features expansion release. A lot of small
annoyances have been fixed and ignored errors are now more visually flagged to
the user. In the past typos in the theme could result into broken themes
without any warning to the user (except in debug mode), if an unknown link is
found it will now throw an error. To help the user find the right
documentation, the manpages are further split up into sub-pages and are
expanded
We now have:
* rofi(1)
* rofi-theme-selector(1)
* rofi-keys(5)
* rofi-theme(5)
* rofi-debugging(5)
* rofi-dmenu(5)
* rofi-script(5)
Another improvement made that can have huge impact on the user-experience is a
massif speedup in the async input reading of dmenu. It turned out glib's
GInputStream async functions where very slow, so a custom implementation has
been made. Background loading is now close to the same speed as loading at
start before displaying. A million item list is now near instant. On very large
lists, the instant filtering automatically changes to be postponed until the
user stops typing. This severely reduces system load.
A few long standing requests have been fixed:
* Listview flow. You can now change the flow in the listview from vertical first
to horizontal first. Making it mimic tables.
{screenshot vertical } { screenshot horizontal }
* You can set a custom fallback icon for each mode.
* In dmenu mode (and script) you can now make (some) changes to the theme, for
example modifying the background color of the entry box.
* User scripts (for script mode) into `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rofi/scripts` directory
are automatically available in rofi.
* You can now render text as icons, this allows you to use glyphs icon fonts as
icons.
* Hide listview when unfiltered. (#1079)
* You can now add a separate icon or textbox widget to the UI that displays the
current selected item.
Below is a more complete list of changes:
