--use a different shadows manager for dialogs such as
dock settings window through the Latte::Corona class.
The new shadow manager is responsible to draw
"dialogs/background" shadows for windows instead of
the PanelShadows original class which is responsible
to draw "widgets/background" shadows
--identify better what is the plasma theme color
palette the creator has chosen and use ALWAYS
the same color palette that Plasma is also using.
In the past, Latte was trying to protect the
color palette because Latte REVERSED colors mode
did not work fine for all plasma themes. That
approach is abandoned, Latte will use the same
colors group with plasma themes and it is on
the creators responsibility to provide enough
contrast
--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.
--fix showing advanced settings window in order to update
the window geometry ONLY WHEN there are availableScreenGeometry
changes from Latte::View(s).
--As a side effect changing docks/panels location under wayland
when they have enabled their background blur has reduced crashes
during location changes.
--improve the new worksarounds in order to always
apply the activities that a view and its windows are
present when the workarounds were triggered from
kwin faulty behavior. The kwin faulty behavior is
that when any activity is paused then all Latte::Views
become hidden and lose their activities references.
The workarounds are timers that when they trace
a faulty visible state !visible are restoring the
normal behavior to views.
--when dock settings window is shown it is good to
NOT overlap with plasma panels. Under X11 this is
possible because the real availableScreenGeometry
is exposed through QScreen.
--following the new design applied first at
View:availableScreenRegionChangedFrom instead of different
View parts to trigger directly m_corona relevant signal,
all View parts are triggering the View relevant signal
and as such the can be disabled all together
easily.
--set a minimumLength in order to avoid the indicator
to become TOO SMALL and not noticable. The minimum
length has been set to be 25% of the screen edge length
that the view as attached.
--when as Always Visible view was unloaded from
a CentralLayout because its Activity was closing
it was creating a crash. This patch fixes the
situation by releasing sensitive view signals
earlier.
--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

--all the qml handling code from globalshortcuts is
now moved to Latte::View::ContaimentInterface. This
way the code is cleaner and can be expanded easier.
--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

--window manager provides two more states isMaxHorizontally,
isMaxVertically. These states can be ignored and be
considered as isMaximized only when both of these states
are valid
FIXED-IN:0.9.6
--all plasma windows that are touching a screen edge
and their thickness based on the edge they are touching is
below 96px. are NOT consider as plasma panels and are
treated like normal windows for all Latte codepaths
--occasionaly when the user was switching
layouts it could get some crashes. It looks
safer to unload first the Latte::Views objects
and their corresponding containments afterwards.
I tried in my system to switch multiple layouts
in plenty different configurations and I could
not get a crash. This patch should fix the
mentioned crash report if that was the root
of the issue.

--the last active window codepath provides a way to
drag and maximize/restore the last active window. This
should not occur when the last active window is not
in the current desktop and activity.
BUG:414089
FIXED-IN:0.9.5
--the previous code was updating the delayed application
data for each instance of lastactivewindow separately.
The new code is implementing this at the central
WM::WindowsTracker and just informs last active windows
to update their values
--when an application is tracked from the lastactivewindow
infrastructure it is updating the application name/icon
1500 ms after its first startup in order to fix apps cases
where they update their StartupWMClass a bit delayed
BUG:413671
--switchToLayout dbus interface is used in order to
switch at specific layout that it is already imported.
With this commit the same dbus interface can be used
in order to import and load afterwards any latte layout
file by sending its absolute filepath
--there are distros that do not return /usr/share/applications
as their first global path for desktop files. It is better to not
just search for the "applications" path but rather the desktop
file also to make sure that we use the first one found.

--Whenever a view is updating its layout then the AllScreens
tracked information [per layout tracking] should be updated
also. Until now this was happening only during startup and there
was a case that if during startup a view was requesting tracking
and the second one did not, then tracking for the entire layout
for all screens it could be faulty disabled.
