--make the top/bottom borders identification much
smarter in order to identify in they must be drawn.
There are many corner cases that these borders should
be drawn, for example when a vertical top aligned
panel is half shown its top border because of a
top panel
--the user can now choose for vertical views to
stick their edges at the top or bottom screen edge
and ignore any top or bottom views accordingly. These
options are available in the Transparent Settings
area for vertical views and in advanced settings
mode.
--the orphaned-central layout should NOT be loaded
when it has already been loaded as SHARED layout for
other CENTRAL layouts in a MULTIPLE LAYOUTS environment

--dont mess the old migrating process during startup
with a new user that uses Latte for first time. This
is a very important step during startup otherwise the
entire Latte experiences instability.

--Plasma 5.18 introduced a new dbus interface in order
for external apps to be able to publish to Plasma how
much they occupy from screen space. This is a much
requested feature from users, Latte is now publishing
both its availableScreenRect and availableScreenRegions
and this is also Multiple Layouts aware at runtime.
BUG:391073
--when the user is triggering an application
launcher that is a popup in a hidden view
it is not needed to enforced hidden afterwards.
The blockHiding will be released automatically
when the application launcher popup is closed.
BUG:417239
--improve calculations for Effects area during startup
and at the same time when the dock is totally hidden
so it should not paint any effects area at all.
BUG:416928
FIXED-IN:0.9.9
--preparing the infrastructure calculations in order
to publish to Plasma 5.18 and greater the
availableScreenRectagle and availableScreenRegion
that Latte leaves free in current running
screens.
--at the same time create a base SubWindow class for
all window helpers used by Views. Now ScreenEdgeGhostWindow
and FloatingGapWindow use the same window implementation
--create FloatingGapWindow the first time needed
from VisibilityManager if it is not already created.
--remove FloatingGapWindow when View::screenEdgeMarginEnabled
is disabled
--this indicator is used only internally from Latte
in order to draw default plasma applets tab style
indicators when the user has chosen to not draw
latte specific indicators. A good example of its
usage is when the plasma theme contains tabbar
indicator which is used in applets and the Latte
overlayed icon applets need to use the same visual
with the regular plasma applets.
--enabledForApplets and lengthPadding for indicators
has now moved to indicators responsibility to handle
--as a consequence usesPlasmaStyle has been removed
from indicators API. The corner cases that indicators
conflict with plasma theme applets should be handled
differently and in a different way
--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.
