--if a dock/panel was containing a systray there
was a chance that the systray was messing the
calculations for adding/removing docks based on
the screen and edges changes
(cherry picked from commit 285a2f8764)
--Latte will no longer try to be too smart concerning
the multi-screens behavior. At the old implementation
Latte wouldnt let you reach at a state that you dont
have a tasks plasmoid available. Such a case could be
when the user moves a dock from primary to explicit
screen and disables the screen afterwards. That case
should be thought better in the future in order to be
identified and handled properly without making the
code unnecessary complex. Such an example could be by
identifing the case and asking the user for actions.

--there are cases that the window geometry isnt consistent
for maximized windows. That was breaking the previous
implementation of dynamic background because of:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397700
the new implementation is using only the window center in
order to identify the screen in which a window is
present

--the background contrast effect should be applied
only when the dock/panel is visually solid otherwise
it may block the transparency settings

--previews showed some strange behavior by
re-introducing faulty or empty previews under
X11. Best way to approach this is to follow up
plasma design idea in order for the code to be
comparable. The code was updated and the introduced
issue shows to be fixed but this wants users
feedback.

(cherry picked from commit b4a7b1ac84)
--the old code wasnt screen independent for identifying
windows that touch the panel edge. There were cases
that when a window was touching a panel edge at
screen A to faulty identify that is touching
screen B also. The code now is more robust and it
can also handle cases that window is touching two or
more different panels in different screens.

--Improve the series of events in order for CopyDock

--trying to combine dock mode, panel mode and
parabolic effect with plasma applets current implementation
can create such issues. Removing the zoom=1
criteria to activate the Latte MouseArea. The
user can still lock plasmoids that want the
Hover Default Plasmoid behavior or use the
Latte protocol to understand when they are in a Latte
containment.

--to make things even more robust the dock settings
window width is made a portion of the dock settings
window height. The code was also checked in order to not
create any bindings loops
BUG: 396872
--after v0.8 release many issues with multi-architecture
were identified. An alternative approach was needed
in order for Latte to get a more user-predictable state.
In new approach:
--onPrimary docks have always higher value
and should be shown, this is also like how plasma is
moving its panels.
--explicit docks are removed if their edge in their screen
is occupied by an onPrimary dock
--be stupid smart in order to check if docks contain
tasks and try to not remove them based on screen-changes
is removed! Over-Complicated code that doesnt help
in maintainability...
one of the issues was reported at following bug report...

--v0.8 introduced unified global shortcuts for all
cases, that means that applets are also taken into
account for Latte activation/new instance global
shortcuts. A new parameter is introduced with
the patch at Latte global settings file called
"unifiedGlobalShortcuts", the user can set that
parameter to false before Latte startup in order
to use only global shortcuts relevant to the
Latte plasmoid.
--when changing Single mode to Multiple mode the latest
changes from user didnt get into because the kde cache
from KFileConfigPtr hadnt been updated yet. This
patch fixes this by using a temp file that contains
the layout in question.
--there were cases that during creating
or copying docks the applets ids were
created inconsistent by creating applets
with ids already reserved. This patch
fixes this by using the applet ids found
in the layout file and not the one loaded
in memory.
--a visual indicator in order to show which plasma
applets have been overloaded from Latte. The overloaded
mechanism is a way in order to make these applets work
properly with Latte parabolic effect
--blur effect is costly this way we limit effects area
to respect the windows boundaries and at cases that
the QRegion returns too main QRects to just use the main
effects rectangle
--this fix possibly fixes the crash related to Blur effect and
moving the dock to another edge bug:396040
--in plasma 5.13 there are cases the libtaskmanager
shows two launchers because we delay the launcher
removal for the bouncing animation. A way
to fix this by the user is to disable all startups
through plasma systemsettings->launch feedback
for the taskmanager. But because this is a
default plasma option many users would feel
uncomfortable when the launching animation
breaks. Such apps were gimp and inkscape.
This patch handles that case in order to provide
a nice no-breaking launcher animation for
these apps also.
--this is the first beta release for
v0.8. Everything will be open for the
upcoming days including translation
strings improvements. Beta2 possibly
will introduce a string freeze.
--v0.8 is officialy KDE project, so its
existence owes a lot of credits to many
KDE members (for translations, bug reporting
etc.). Being officially a KDE project
responds to the previous credits.
