What is xfdashboard?
====================

xfdashboard provides a GNOME shell dashboard like interface for use with
Xfce desktop. It can be configured to run to any keyboard shortcut and
when executed provides an overview of applications currently open
enabling the user to switch between different applications. The search
feature works like Xfce's app finder which makes it convenient to search
for and start applications.

Release notes for 0.9.90
========================
xfdashboard-0.9.90 "Before it is too late" was released on 2022-03-04.&#13;
&#13;
This is a release candidate for upcoming stable version 1.0.0.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
* New feature: Added a new property "visibility", which is stylable,&#13;
  to XfdashboardActor, so each actor inherits this new stylable&#13;
  property. This stylable property controls if an actor should be&#13;
  visible if requested to using clutter_actor_show(). Setting&#13;
  "visibility" to false is similar to "display: none;" for CSS of&#13;
  HTML while setting it to true will allow the actor to be shown.&#13;
* Fixed compiler warning about "'__atomic_load' discards 'volatile'&#13;
  qualifier" in g_once_* functions of Glib which was changed in&#13;
  releases since 2.66.3&#13;
* Prepared for newer libxfce4util (version 4.17.2 or higher) which&#13;
  changed function xfce_append_quoted to xfce_g_string_append_quoted&#13;
* Updated translations:&#13;

  gradient will follow a path (the outline) and draw a gradient&#13;
  orthogonal with color stops along this path.&#13;

  colors as befeofre as well as a new path gradient.&#13;
* Changed default theme to make use of new path gradients at outlines. &#13;
* Removed all xfdashboard_*_get_default() function to access single&#13;
  instances of the subsystems/component, like plugins manager etc.,&#13;
  as these single instances should now to access through&#13;
  XfdashboardCore and its xfdashboard_core_get_*(...) functions&#13;
* Dropped support of Xfconf legacy (versions below 4.13.0) because&#13;
  of new XfdashboardSettings and XfdashboardPluginSettings object.&#13;
  Therefore also the dependency on dbus-glib was dropped which was&#13;
  need for Xfconf legacy.&#13;
* Smaller bug-fixes&#13;
* Clean-ups&#13;
* More API documentation&#13;

Release notes for 0.9.0
=======================
xfdashboard-0.9.0 "When I'm grown up I want to be a library" was
released on 2021-03-05.&#13;
&#13;
This is a development release.&#13;
&#13;
* New feature: Introduces XfdashboardSettings as settings object for
libxfdashboard. This is the first step to turn libxfdashboard into a
real library and removes xfconf as dependency from it but it is still
needed for the application and settings application to store settings
permanently as XfdashboardSettings is just a in-memory storage.&#13;
* New feature: Introduces XfdashboardPluginSettings as settings object
for plugins like XfdashboardSettings is for the library.&#13;
* Do not compile and install the "example-search-provider" plugin
anymore but include sources and Makefile example (now called
Makefile.am.example) in distribution file. Should make life easier for
packagers ;) ... and for users as this plugin is useless ;)&#13;
* Change AppInfo to match AppStream specification (#4)&#13;
* Smaller bug-fixes&#13;
* More API documentation&#13;
* Updated localizations

Release notes for 0.8.0
=======================
xfdashboard-0.8.0 "Xfce 4.16 is out ... and me too :)" was released on
2020-12-23.&#13;
&#13;
This is a stable release.&#13;
&#13;
* NOTE: Raised minimum version of Glib to 2.38 for replacements&#13;
  of deprecated function g_type_class_add_private()&#13;
&#13;
* New feature: New application icon which follows rDNS naming&#13;
* New feature: Implement pop-up menu which is currently only used by&#13;
  icons in quicklaunch when right-clicking at them.&#13;
* New feature: The windows in windows view gained support to show also
their&#13;
  child windows, e.g. open/save dialogs etc. This feature is themable
and enabled&#13;
  by default in default theme. But it can also be disabled at all by the
user&#13;
  in xfdashboard settings application, e.g. for performance reasons. The
user's&#13;
  decision to disable this feature in the settings overrides anything
defined&#13;
  at the theme used. (GH #132)&#13;
* New feature: All windows can now be drag'n'drop from any actor to any&#13;
  other window-related actor. So it is now possible to move a window&#13;
  from a workspace to another workspace directly via the workspace&#13;
  selector without the need to change the workspace to the one
containing&#13;
  the window first. You can also drag'n'drop windows from workspace to&#13;
  windows view to move a window to the current workspace. (GH #79)&#13;
* New feature: The window tracker and all other related classes are now&#13;
  interfaces to support multiple window systems, like X11, GDK and
wayland.&#13;
  Currently only X11 is support as it did all the time but preparation&#13;
  work is done to support GDK as well and maybe wayland some day. (GH
#129)&#13;
* New feature: Added a fine-grained controllable debug system. If debug
is&#13;
  enabled in configure script the user can use the environment variable&#13;
  XFDASHBOARD_DEBUG to enable categories to debug. But also classes
like&#13;
  XfdashboardActor can be set in this environment variable to debug a&#13;
  specific class. Classes are case-sensitive and must be in camel-case.&#13;
  You can mix categories and classes in enviroment variable. You can
set&#13;
  multiple categories and/or classes to debug by separating them by
commas.&#13;
* New feature: At a theme's layout xml file you can now specify which&#13;
  actor of the focusable ones should be selected on theme load.
Therefore&#13;
  a new optional attribute to &lt;focus&gt;, a sub-node of &lt;focusables&gt;, was&#13;
  added which is called "selected". This attribute "selected" is a
boolean&#13;
  attribute and expects to be set to either "true" or "false". If set
to&#13;
  "true" this actor will be selected instead of the search box which is&#13;
  the default. If set to "false" it has no impact and handled as this&#13;
  attribute does not exist. This new attribute should only be used once&#13;
  over all layout xml files. A warning will be printed if it used more&#13;
  than once but the theme will load successfully. The user can also&#13;
  configure in the setting if this selected focus should be re-selected&#13;
  also when the application resumes at daemon mode (GH #144)&#13;
* New feature: New actions "selection-move-next",
"selection-move-previous",&#13;
  "focus-move-first", "focus-move-last" and "focus-move-to" for use at&#13;
  custom key bindings were added. They are not bound at the default key&#13;
  bindings file installed. (GH #144, GH #145)&#13;
* New feature: Window tracker interface now supports a new experimental&#13;
  backend for GDK. The backend to use can be controlled with the new&#13;
  environment variable XFDASHBOARD_BACKEND. It can be either set to&#13;
  "x11" or "gdk". If this environment variable does not exists or is&#13;
  not set then the X11 backend is enforced as it is the known default&#13;
  behaviour of xfdashboard and GDK backend is marked as experimental.&#13;
  (GH #129)&#13;
* New feature: Allow user to override CSS files of themes to apply&#13;
  user favourite settings. This cChanged the way and order how CSS&#13;
  files of themes are loaded: First the CSS resources defined in&#13;
  theme's theme file (xfdashboard.theme) are loaded, then user's&#13;
  global stylesheet ($HOME/.config/xfdashboard/themes/global.css) is&#13;
  loaded if it exists and at last user's theme related stylesheet&#13;
  ($HOME/.config/xfdashboard/themes/user-[THEME_NAME].css) is loaded&#13;
  if it exists. This should make user changes to themes more&#13;
  convinient as the user does not need to copy the whole theme to&#13;
  $HOME/.themes or $HOME/.local/themes and then make his changes.&#13;
  The user also does not need to update its theme each time the&#13;
  origin theme changes and re-copy and re-apply its changes. (GH #152)&#13;
* New feature: Big sorry to all translators who did all the hard&#13;
  work to translate xfdashboard to their language but their hard&#13;
  work was never included. It was my fault as I was to stupid to&#13;
  use Transifex client tool correctly :( Now I do not only update&#13;
  all locales already included but I will also fetch new ones. So&#13;
  the number of supported languages raised from 8 to 13. New ones&#13;
  are: da, de, kk, pl and tr (GH #155)&#13;
* New feature: GDK backend is now optional and it will be enabled&#13;
  automatically if Clutter backend is available, i.e. FreeBSD does&#13;
  not install Clutter with GDK backend. (#13766, #13860)&#13;
* New feature: Support also current xfconf versions (4.13.x).&#13;
  New xfconf version support native GPtrArray (from glib) for&#13;
  string lists and make dbus-glib deprecated. dbus-glib is only&#13;
  needed (and checked by configure script) if current stable xfconf&#13;
  (4.12.x) is used as its GPtrArray is still needed in this case.&#13;
  (#13824)&#13;
* New feature: Support for touch screen which supports "clicking"&#13;
  buttons for now. Thanks to TheToq2 (GH #157)&#13;
* New feature: Support of application actions defines at desktop&#13;
  entries which get listed in the pop-up menus of application&#13;
  buttons. These application actions are already known as action&#13;
  in so-called "Jumplists" or "Quicklists" (GH #158, GH #160)&#13;
* New feature: Support of "Keywords" of desktop entries which&#13;
  are taken into account when searching (GH #159)&#13;
* New feature: Support for animations. Currently only one actor&#13;
  (XfdashboardCollapseBox) trigger an animation signal to open&#13;
  or close the collapsed area. All default themes of xfdashboard&#13;
  will slide in or out the collapsed area smoothly when animation&#13;
  is enabled (which is enabled by default).&#13;
* New feature: The user can turn on or off animations in the&#13;
  settings application.&#13;
* New feature: Support of more animations. So an actor can&#13;
  request an animation when a class or pseudo-class is added&#13;
  or was removed. Also an actor requests an animation when&#13;
  it was created and shown for the first time. Currently at last&#13;
  an animation is requested when the actor was moved and or resized.&#13;
* New feature: Support of animation if an actor is destroyed. It&#13;
  will be marked as destroyed by adding a CSS pseudo class &#13;
  "destroying". The actor will be destroyed finally when animation&#13;
  ends.&#13;
* New feature: Introduced a new signal 'actor-created' emitted at stage&#13;
  where a newly created actor was placed on. Plugins can connect to
this&#13;
  signal to detect new actors they are interested in and to modify
them.&#13;
* New feature: Introduced a new signal "initialized" in
XfdashboardApplication&#13;
  which is emitted when primary instance is fully initialized, that
means&#13;
  all managers and the stage were set up successfully.&#13;
&#13;
* New plugin 'middle-click-window-close' which allows the user&#13;
  to close windows in windows view with a middle click. This plugin&#13;
  is not configurable. (GH #128)&#13;
* New plugin: Added dummy example search provider plugin. It's&#13;
  main purpose is to provide a skeleton for creating new search&#13;
  provider plugins.&#13;
&#13;
* Enhancement: Changed loading key bindings to one-or-nothing to&#13;
  incremental loading. The default behaviour how bindings are loaded&#13;
  has been changed. Previsouly it tried to the first bindings&#13;
  configuration file from these location (in this order): The full path&#13;
  defined at environment variable XFDASHBOARD_BINDINGS_POOL_FILE (if&#13;
  debug mode was enable at configure script), the user's configuration&#13;
  folder (usually $HOME/.config/xfdashboard) and at last the&#13;
  system-wide folder. Now it tries to load the system-wide one&#13;
  first, then the one at user's configuration folder and merges&#13;
  all bindings loaded from there to the one already loaded. At&#13;
  last it check if the environment variable is set (no need for&#13;
  debug mode anymore) and loads the bindings from this file and&#13;
  merges them too. (GH #167)&#13;
* Enhancement: Added '--version' command-line parameter to determine&#13;
  the version of xfdashboard running.&#13;
* Enhancement: Followed main Xfce project by switching to&#13;
  "foreign" mode at automake&#13;
* Enhancement: Added blue theme screenshot. Thanks to gsantner (GH
#152)&#13;
* Enhancement: The plugin 'hot corner' support also additional monitors&#13;
  and not primary monitor only. This option is configurable by user.&#13;
* Enhancement: Use xfce library function instead of implementing own
version&#13;
* Enhancement: Enviroment varible XFDASHBOARD_PLUGINS_PATH supports now&#13;
  more than one additional path with a colon-seperated list&#13;
* Enhancement: Improved loading performance of images and icons at&#13;
  XfdashboardImageContent as it will only start loading when the actor&#13;
  using this icon or image is mapped. Previously the image or icon&#13;
  might have been loaded before the actor is mapped resulting in
loading&#13;
  it multiple time as the size of the actor and/or icon or image
changed&#13;
  a lot before mapping the actor. The performance was improved to stop&#13;
  loading images or icons unneccessaryly. All actor will benefit of
this&#13;
  change automatically, like XfdashboardLabel.&#13;
* Enhancement: Improved CSS parser to determine recursion at theme CSS
file&#13;
  which causes the application to crash due to run out of memory (GH
#143)&#13;
&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: Rewrote XfdashboardButton by splitting it into a&#13;
  XfdashboardLabel class and make XfdashboardButton a sub-class of it.&#13;
  XfdashboardLabel is exactly the same what XfdashboardButton was but&#13;
  it does not emit the "click" signal.&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: Splitted XfdashboardLiveWindow into two classes.&#13;
  XfdashboardLiveWindowSimple just shows a live preview of a window
when&#13;
  possible and XfdashboardLiveWindow is a sub-class of it but adds a&#13;
  title and controls layer (close button) on top of it.&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: Remove themable property 'show-window-content'&#13;
  from XfdashboardLiveWorkspace. Just replace the following CSS:&#13;
    XfdashboardLiveWorkspace&#13;
    {&#13;
      show-window-content: &lt;true or false&gt;;&#13;
    }&#13;
  with:&#13;
    XfdashboardLiveWorkspace XfdashboardLiveWindowSimple&#13;
    {&#13;
      display-type: &lt;icon or live-preview&gt;;&#13;
    }&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: The CSS class "primary-monitor" will be added to&#13;
  or removed from XfdashboardStageInterface depending on the primary&#13;
  state of associated monitor. With this CSS class the stage interface&#13;
  of the primary monitor could be themed different as the other
non-primary&#13;
  (secondary) ones.&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: Made XfdashboardDynamicTableLayout stylable&#13;
  and added a new stylable property named "fixed-columns" to&#13;
  disable dynamic allocation of columns depending on largest width&#13;
  of a visible child found and enforce a fixed number of columns.&#13;
  Setting this property to 0 (default) will disable this feature.&#13;
  (GH #168)&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: Properties 'margin-top', 'margin-bottom',
'margin-left'&#13;
  and 'margin-right' of ClutterActor are now themable.&#13;
* Changed themes/CSS: Allow windows view to filter windows which are at&#13;
  current workspace via a new themable property called&#13;
  'filter-workspace-windows'. This new option is set to TRUE by default&#13;
  so that all themes will still work as they did before. (GH #126)&#13;
&#13;
* Replace URLs from goodies.xfce.org to docs.xfce.org (#16229)&#13;
* Lots of larger and smaller bug-fixes&#13;
* Lots of new API documentation&#13;
&#13;
* Translation: Reduced number of translatable strings drastically&#13;
* Translation: New translations for bg, ca, el, id, ja, nb, nl,&#13;
  pt, pt_BR, sl, sq, sv, zh_CN&#13;
* Translation: Updated translations for da, de, es, fr, gl, he,&#13;
  it_IT, kk, lt, pl, ru, sr, tr&#13;
&#13;
* Thanks to all translators and contributors
