 - Each sxbar instance displays accurate workspace status for its own screen.
 - Workspace boxes are informative and reflect the window layout on each monitor.

+## Version display support
+
+This update adds optional version information to the bar.
+
+### Changes
+- Added new global config keys in `default_sxbarc`:
+  - `show_version : true`
+  - `version_text : sxbar ver. 1.1`
+- Parser now supports `show_version` and `version_text` in the config file.
+- `sxbar` now draws the version text only when `show_version` is enabled.
+- Default initialization now enables version display and uses the `SXBAR_VERSION` string.
+
+### Result
+
+- The bar can show a custom version string at the right edge.
+- Version output is configurable and can be disabled without changing the code.
+
+## Config file and script modules
+
+A new config file format is now supported via `default_sxbarc`.
+
+### Highlights
+- Global options can be set in the config file.
+- Custom script modules are supported using `custom : label : "command or script" : interval`.
+- Bash commands, external script paths and shell pipelines can be used for dynamic status output.
+
+### Example
+- `custom : temp : "sensors | grep 'Package' | awk '{print $4}'" : 5`
+- `custom : network : "~/.config/sxbar/scripts/network.sh" : 5`
+
+### Result
+
+- Users can configure sxbar without recompiling.
+- Bash scripts and shell commands can produce bar text dynamically.
+
+## Disk footprint
+
+- `sxbar` is very lightweight: the compiled binary is about 36 KB.
+- The source tree is also small, so `sxbar` is ideal for minimal Xorg setups.
