--a new implementation is needed which is going
to be simpler and lighter. Removing the current
implementation, parabolic effect works just fine
without issues and feels more responsive.
--the new implementation relies on items in order to
forward scale signals properly to their neighbours. So
parabolic effect does not have to know separators and
hidden items any more. As it appears it is lighter
also and more responsive. This is a very important
milestone for the parabolic effect.
--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
--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
--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
--different applets situations request different
margins for indicators and margins between them
in order to draw them properly. This fix takes
into account when edge margins are disabled from
wrapper and in that case the edge margins for these
are calculated bettter.
--applets can now use the screen edge margin value
in order to follow Fitt's Law for floating docks/panels
if they want to. Latte takes case all applets of
course but in case an applet would like also to
to use also the space between the gap of the view
and the screen edge, it can so.
--when an applet can not be hovered meaning to use
the parabolic effect and that applet is at the far
screen edge then margins can be disabled for this applet
in order to look exactly touching the screen edge
and at the same feel right following Fitt's Law
--when qml uses software rendering checks should be
added in order to not hide the visual elements. This
is taking place now in a more concrete way and checked
also that tasks with badges or not are still shown
BUG:411037
FIXED-IN:0.9.2
--when qml software rendering is enabled the ShaderEffects
do not work. Hiding sources in that case is hiding
from the user tasks and applets with no visual feedback.
Sources in that case should hide themeselves and give
the user the minimum which is the original drawn contents.

--reconsider/fixes applets axis blocking for parabolic
effect when unblock it also when applets are updating
their properties. This takes place only when
applets zoom factor === 1 (in normal mode) otherwise
the parabolic effect may broke
--when the Latte View is in Justify mode
and and an applet is touching the screen edge
then for that applet any margins from the
Screen edge should be removed. That way
the Fitt's Law is obeyed. What is going to
happen for the margins of these applets with
their neighbour applets will be considered
in the future.
