--various improvements/fixes for previews and highlight
windows in new plasmoid architecture. All tasks settings
are now stored in applet level and not in containment
level
BUG:420692
--an better plural naming was chosen in order for
for consumers to distiguish abilities purpose. Abilities
are designed to be use by multiple applets and
containers
--improve types and references and add types splitted
at better places. So now we have
- LatteCore.Types that are global for all components
- LatteTasks.Types that are private to tasks plasmoid
- LatteContainment.Types that are private to latte
containment
--introduce AppletAbilities qml library which is going
to be available to all applets to use it freely. In the stage
all components will be qml-only but in the future when
any of the components have been stabilized for their
apis then many of them could gain c++ implementation
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--First steps in order to support mulitple Tasks
applets in the same dock and panel.
--Step1: migrate values from Containment to Task
applet.
--Step2: deprecate Task applet options that are
found in containment
--Step3: provide multiple dynamic Tasks tabs in
settings
--update implementation to use "root.location"
instead of root.position
--update implementation to use "root.alignment"
instead of root.userPanelPosition
--plasma durations can mess up the Latte animations
experience a lot. We now use our own set animations
durations which are independent of what the user
chose for plasma animations speed.
BUG:418883
--a new Wheel action is introduced to Tasks and
the user can now choose to disable wheel actions
only for tasks OR cycle through grouped tasks OR
upwards cycles trhough grouped tasks and downwards
minimizes them.
BUG:416096
--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.
BUG:415274
--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.
--this way in multiple layouts mode when switching
different layouts the tasks/launchers are sliding in/out
only when we switch between different activities in
the same layout and NOT when switching between different
activities in different layouts
