--separators are only usings the external margins
between items. In the past it was also consider
the indicators internal padding. This is not
needed and it was creating too big empty
spaces with no real reason.
--through level.requested options each indicator
instance can request specific repositioning for
each icon. Very good example for this is the
Win7 style indicator
--when qml uses software rendering checks should be
added in order to not hide the visual elements. This
is taking place now in a more concrete way and checked
also that tasks with badges or not are still shown
BUG:411037
FIXED-IN:0.9.2
--when qml software rendering is enabled the ShaderEffects
do not work. Hiding sources in that case is hiding
from the user tasks and applets with no visual feedback.
Sources in that case should hide themeselves and give
the user the minimum which is the original drawn contents.

FIXED-IN:0.9.2
--this was noticed when the user was removing an applet
through the context menu and at the same time this
applet was zoomed. With this patch the parabolic effect
behavior returns to normal
--the user can now choose to enable or NOT 3D
style for all badges through Latte Global Preferences
window. By default the Flat style is preferred
BUG: 409467
--reconsider/fixes applets axis blocking for parabolic
effect when unblock it also when applets are updating
their properties. This takes place only when
applets zoom factor === 1 (in normal mode) otherwise
the parabolic effect may broke
--when the Latte View is in Justify mode
and and an applet is touching the screen edge
then for that applet any margins from the
Screen edge should be removed. That way
the Fitt's Law is obeyed. What is going to
happen for the margins of these applets with
their neighbour applets will be considered
in the future.
BUG: 408412
--TitleTooltips produced by Latte are thinner but they
can create issues comparing with user expectations and
how Plasma applets original work. This fix takes the
Plasma original behavior as granted and for now on
TitleTooltips from Latte will be applied ONLY WHEN:
----The parabolic effect is enabled, zoomFactor>0% AND
the applet in question is NOT LOCKED, meaning that its
Parabolic Effect is active
--when dragging a new applet over the view
the responsiveness is now improved vastly
--the new architecture uses two different
DragAndDropAreas. One which is the old one
and is used when dragged launchers, urls and
separators. The second is used only when
applets are dragged into the view
--the visuals for adding launchers/applets have
been improved and a circular visual is preferred
now instead
--the applets mouse click events are now tracked
for View::MouseSignals tracking mechanism. This
way no MouseArea is used overlaied over the applets
for the mouse click events. In that way the applets
are using their own built-in functionality for mouse
click events and at the same time for Latte is tracking
only the neutral areas for this meaning the applets external
margins in order to obey Fitt's Law
BUG: 406215
--in order to show built-in hover/clicked animations
for applets, the applets must be Squared/with no
Plasma behavior and the chosen Indicator to not
provide hover or click animation
--the criteria in order to track when an applet can
be zoomed or not have increased. The limit is now
specified from (iconSize+thickMargins) for applets
--fix separators, spacers corner cases behavior
--dont apply hidden spacers for separators and
spacers
--remove the plasma panel spacer reference which
is deprecated and not used any more
--this is side-way path for mouse events and
more specific the mouse pressed, released
events to be sent from parent window to its
qml containment part. This way it is possible
to keep the original plasma applet behavior
such as original plasma tooltips and provide
Latte specific functionality such as animated
clicks from indicators.
NOTE: An investigation - testing took place in
order to check if this approach could be also used
for mouseMove events to be used for applets parabolic
effect. The result was that this was not possible because
there were too many signals and too much calculations
too identify for which applet the signal belonged to.
The parabolic effect was not fluid in that case and
could not catch up.
