            Bug ID: 278148
           Summary: Update Request: Dunst 1.9.1 to at least 1.9.2
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rcbell@mailinator.com

I would like to request an update for the Dunst package in the FreeBSD Ports
Collection (apologies if this is not the correct way to go about this - I'm=
 new
here). Currently, the version available is 1.9.1, and I would like to see it
updated to at least version 1.9.2 (1.10.0 is available with additional Wayl=
and
support/fixes).

Reason: The Dunst developers have released version 1.9.2, which includes bug
fixes and improvements over the previous version. Specifically, there are t=
wo
issues affecting me, and presumably others, that have been addressed in ver=
sion
1.9.2:

1. High CPU usage when show_age_threshold =3D -1: The previous version (1.9=
.1)
suffers from high CPU usage under certain conditions, particularly when the
show_age_threshold option is set to -1. This issue has been reported and
addressed in version 1.9.2, contributing to improved performance and stabil=
ity.

2. High CPU usage in some situations, often correlated with being idle:
Additionally, version 1.9.1 exhibits high CPU usage in certain situations,
particularly when the application is idle. This issue, reported in ticket
#1158, has been investigated and resolved in version 1.9.2, leading to a
smoother user experience and reduced system resource consumption.

Reproduction Steps: To reproduce the issue of high CPU usage and flickering
notifications, follow these steps:

1. Install Dunst version 1.9.1 on a FreeBSD system.
2. Start Dunst if it's not already running.
3. Execute the command dunstctl history-pop to simulate popping a notificat=
ion
from the history.
4. Observe the CPU usage and the behavior of the notification.

Dependencies: To my knowledge Dunst 1.9.2 does not have any specific
dependencies beyond those already present in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.
Dunst 1.10.0 may have additional dependencies, but I'm not a Wayland user.

Additional Information:
Dunst 1.9.2 (and 1.10.0) can be found on the official GitHub repository:
https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst/releases
The release notes for Dunst 1.9.2 outline the changes and improvements:
