--when parabolic zoomfactor===1 a rare case
was that some tasks were appearing pixelated.
By disabling the Tasks Icons mathimatical roundness
this looks fixed.
--finally after two years I found why there was a glitch
when the parabolic effect was hovering from Task into
an applet and vice versa. Tasks were rounding their
size before exposing it to container. Now this is fixed.
--Drag a task animation is now improved to be a little
more responsive and to inform also its mask requirements
to animations
--AppletItem::clip was introduced in order to
avoid circumstances that applets exceed their limits
and as such still events from surrounding applets.
Because of that change applets should now apply
their layout properties as valid all the time
--use a single slot when View triggers its workarounds
for the kwin issue that kwin hides panels when an activity
stops. In such case the view shadows are also redrawn.
--during scrolled tasks the scrolllable list
now is autoscrolled properly when the user
is repositioning launchers through dragging
or when dragging external files over tasks
and launchers
--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.
--various improvements/fixes for previews and highlight
windows in new plasmoid architecture. All tasks settings
are now stored in applet level and not in containment
level
BUG:420692
--an better plural naming was chosen in order for
for consumers to distiguish abilities purpose. Abilities
are designed to be use by multiple applets and
containers
--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
--introduce AppletAbilities qml library which is going
to be available to all applets to use it freely. In the stage
all components will be qml-only but in the future when
any of the components have been stabilized for their
apis then many of them could gain c++ implementation
--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
--First steps in order to support mulitple Tasks
applets in the same dock and panel.
--Step1: migrate values from Containment to Task
applet.
--Step2: deprecate Task applet options that are
found in containment
--Step3: provide multiple dynamic Tasks tabs in
settings
--update implementation to use "root.location"
instead of root.position
--update implementation to use "root.alignment"
instead of root.userPanelPosition
--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
--remove no-needed anchors changes state for Task.IconItem
and at the same time fix the size calculations for IconItem.
There were cases for Views that did not use the parabolic effect
at all and Tasks contained single windows tasks (that did not
have launchers assigned), these specific tasks were
appearing at minimum icon size 16px. even though the user
had set much greater values.
--a new Wheel action is introduced to Tasks and
the user can now choose to disable wheel actions
only for tasks OR cycle through grouped tasks OR
upwards cycles trhough grouped tasks and downwards
minimizes them.
BUG:416096
--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
--requesting from users a different way to remove
the Latte Tasks plasmoid if they want to is not
a good hig. Reenabling the classic ways to remove
Latte Tasks. The user can now use the applet tooltip
to remove it or by right clicking it in Latte
edit mode. Because of this the Tasks->Recycling
button is not needed any more.
BUG:415274
after dragging a task, the task should return to
normal state. In qt 5.14 default states that have
a "when" property do not play well

Summary:
- Add `Configure Latte Global Settings...` because it's too hidden in Layout > Configure and does not relate to the Layout menu.
- Insert a new `Separator` to separate between Global settings and View settings (see screenshot)
- Rename `Panel/Dock Settings` to `Edit Panel/Dock` (Verb + Noun)
- Rename `Layout > Configure...` to `Layout > Manage Layouts` (Verb + Noun)
Menu Items Order:
a. -separator-
b. Layouts->

--the new architecture uses two different
DragAndDropAreas. One which is the old one
and is used when dragged launchers, urls and
separators. The second is used only when
applets are dragged into the view
--the visuals for adding launchers/applets have
been improved and a circular visual is preferred
now instead
--case 1: first left applet neighbour of Tasks was not
clearing its zoom if the mouse was entering too fast
the Tasks applet from the applet direction
--case 2: first task in Tasks was not clearing its zoom

far from the Tasks
BUG: 401294
--previous code was creating an endless loop during
launchers syncing when there were windows between
the launchers.
example to reproduce: add a Discover launcer and
at the previous indexes there should be some
launchers that have open windows but their launcher
is assigned to different activity. Drag afterwards
the Discover launcher to first indexes e.g. 0,1
--plasmoid.screenGeometry is costly under Latte environment
because it supports multple layouts in multiple activities.
By using the View::screenGeometry the calls are minimized
almost totally.
