--add a mouse wheel delayer like in other Latte
MouseArea(s) in order to limit the actions
executed through mouse wheel in one second.
The user can now execute five actions at maximum
in one second.
--mouse wheel can now be used from panel empty areas
in order to minimize windows or cycle between them.
The action is called ScrollToggleMinimed. When that
option is used the user can also use Ctrl+ScrollUp
in order to maximize a window or Ctrl+ScrollDown
to restore it
--floating views is a strange situation for which
plasma theme do not have any way to be protected for
their drawing (there is a chance that shadows and content
overlap). Latte in order to protect from that situation
now uses the auto-discovered plasma theme roundness to be used
in order to calculate the minimum thicknes for panel
background.
--enabledForApplets and lengthPadding for indicators
has now moved to indicators responsibility to handle
--as a consequence usesPlasmaStyle has been removed
from indicators API. The corner cases that indicators
conflict with plasma theme applets should be handled
differently and in a different way
--different applets situations request different
margins for indicators and margins between them
in order to draw them properly. This fix takes
into account when edge margins are disabled from
wrapper and in that case the edge margins for these
are calculated bettter.
--requesting from users a different way to remove
the Latte Tasks plasmoid if they want to is not
a good hig. Reenabling the classic ways to remove
Latte Tasks. The user can now use the applet tooltip
to remove it or by right clicking it in Latte
edit mode. Because of this the Tasks->Recycling
button is not needed any more.

--provide a new way to identify which application
launcher has the highest priority in order to be
triggered. When an application launcher applet
has a global shortcut assigned to it then that
application launcher applet has the highest
priority in order to be triggered through
"Super" global key.
--block default-autopositioning for Layouts when the user
is changing location for the View. This way we are
trying to avoid issues concerning animations and glitches
during that animation.
--it is safer to block/unblock view hiding based on
edit mode animations. This way any view hiding mechanisms
are applied only after the containment editMode has
really applied.
--when the view settings window is closed then the
View must return to normal mode and disable
the editMode. In qt 5.14 default states that have a "when"
property do not play well

--improved settings for Floating windows in Behavior
tab and add a new option to hide ALL screen gaps meaning
both length screen and thickness screen gap when there
is a maximized window in the screen
BUG:415630
--when the user has enabled dragging/moving active
window from floatings screen gap then that space
can not be used to activate applets. It is rather
used to drag/move/restore last active window.
--screenEdgeMarginEnabled value is not really needed
to applets and indicators. Only the margin value
applied is of importance in order to place themselves
properly.
--use screenEdgeMargin in order to support more border
styles for custom background component that paints
the underneath panel background for smart coloring.
--applets can now use the screen edge margin value
in order to follow Fitt's Law for floating docks/panels
if they want to. Latte takes case all applets of
course but in case an applet would like also to
to use also the space between the gap of the view
and the screen edge, it can so.
--when the application launcher is not a popup then
we do not have to wait for the dock show we can execute
the activation code immediately
--when Latte activates an entry can now understand
if a popup is going to be shown in order to delay
the execution. If a popup is NOT going to show either
for a latte task or an applet then the code is executed
immediately

--Latte panels when they touch each other are informing
each other in order to provide consistent appearance. For
example the Unity mode where a top panel and a left panel
exist at the same time. In such case if the left panel is
INBUSY background state then the top panel is informed and
because inBusy state also. This way the top border of left dock
background does not look out of place. ON THE OTHER hand if
the left dock is hidden because the use has chosen auto-hide
visibility mode or any of the dodge(s) choices then the top
panel does not have to stay in isBusy state. The patch fixes
this by applying this behavior only when the left dock is shown
e.g. the mouse has entered the dock or the dodge mode is not
activated

--automatic icon sizer is using a prediction
algorithm in order to decide to grow or not the
items size. There is a chance that the prediction
calculations are executed too early and as
such grow/shrink limits it is better to not
be to near to each other. That approach should
make the AutomaticItemSizer implementation a little
more robust.
--the automatic item sizer algorithm now is present
in its own class/responsibility area. As a new
improvement/fix the new implementation provides also
a protector/tracker that when the current prediction
to grow has already be applied two steps back in
history then the growing is not applied. This way
endless loops with growings and shrinks are blocked.
