--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...
BUG: 396806
--when trying to activate an entry through
global shortcuts we should take into
account the docks that we have already
access but that should not block the action
code.
--in multiple layouts environment the user
may prefer different settings for its global
shortcuts, in some may wants to use global
shortcuts for its applets and in another
layout may not.
--when an application launcher exists, Latte can show
a "Meta" badge for that applet instead of the global
shortcut action number. With this patch we take also
into account when the assigned application launcher is
in different dock/panel and show it accordingly
BUG: 396753
Summary:
In Latte global shortcuts is missing one record
for New Instance of ninth record

--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
--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.
--when the dock was hidden and the user was triggering
the Meta shortcut the app launcher was misplaced.
By using the same technique used when triggering applets
shortcuts this is fixed.
--when recreating the dock/panel because of
visibility mode changes sometimes there was
a crash because of the timers for the workaround
of isVisible() changes
--give the user an option in layout file in order
to enable/disable borders for maximized windows.
the option is called "disableBordersForMaximizedWindows"
and must be put in LayoutSettings section
--use DoubleClick to change ShowInMenu
--dont change Activities when Activities combobox
loses focus, only when the user has really clicked
an element
--select user-set backgrounds properly when showing
the combobox backgrounds popup
