Last commit broke Lemonbar #36

It skips pieces of data I send in, so sometimes I see nothing, or only parts of the bar I wanted to see... So in the end I solved by recompiling an older revision.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Would adding an option to set the character for which a re-paint happens be a reasonable compromise between the old and new behavior? It's currently hardcoded and I'm sure a ton of scripts rely on \0 being ignored and \n repainting, as mine did.

Yep, after investigating different versions and issues I can confirm that the last commit, which is not yet (since 2016) merged into LemonBoy/bar, does indeed break generator scripts which use multiple statements to print the status. I myself am using lemonbar inside a C++ status generator, and even with buffering (maybe i missed something though) the bug occurs permanently, making lemonbar unusable =( And that's right after I found this nice XFT port...

See this objection for a few more details.
