--this way the parabolic effect works nicely after
the dock slides-in. In the past there was a chance
that even though mouse was hovering an parabolicable applet
the parabolic effect was not started because parabolic
event was rejected because the dock was not fully shown
yet
--some improvements of 0.10.5 broke the windows tracking
initialization. This is a fix in order for windows tracking
to be enabled/disabled properly per dock/panel during
startup phase.
--after recreating a view, launchers group is now
assigned again correctly. As it appears the problem
was that Host.MyView ability was sending an isReady
signal that was not accurate enough.
--This new approach paints all docks and panels during
starup offscreen. This way especially under x11 not a lot of
visual glitches are appearing all over the place.
After startup time has ended docks and panels are
moved at their original and valid placement and slide in
animations are triggered.
--this way mouse clicks correspond much better
in how they should behave. For example right
clicks do not forward always the events to the
desktop during sliding.
--the following options are exposed to indicators
in order to use them to their preference:
----iconTransformOrigin
----iconOpacity
----iconRotation
----iconScale
--when an applet is not identified as expandable
but on the other hand has activated the flag
activationTogglesExpanded then for those
applets the mouse wheel option should also
trigger an activation event
--consider the panel background roundness and position
positions only related to that roundness. This way the
plasma style popups that feel part of the panel background
are positioned properly always and they do not touch
in empty areas.
--introducing in Indicators API a new option to
specify the indicator preference for the distance
between the indicator and panel background roundness.
By altering the option the indicator can get into
the panel background roundness.

--always use blur timer in order to update blurred
area, this way subcalculations between timer triggering
are not taken into account. This way user experience
with blur and parabolic effect are improved.
--the new approach is not using timers but actual
events from View in order to identify when the
view is fully shown and when their popup is actual
visible. This way popup showing and view slide-in
is always synchronized properly
BUG:425078
--ViewPart:VisibilityManager is sending events
to show or hide but it can not validate the view
visual state meaning is hidden, sliding in/out, blocked
etc. That role is taken from Containment::VisibilityManager
that accepts that signals and in case the state are
requesting is already provided then in such case
these signals are ignored.
--This way myView flags for inSlidingIn/Out/PartiallyShown/FullyShown
etc are providing valid values in some previous
problematic scenarios
--This fix solves the issue that parabolic effect with Tasks Previews
it was not too responsive but it had many glitches
--improve a lot how applets are positioned in
different alignments and more specific take into
consideration the background roundness and the
items specified length margin in order to provide
always the most consistent look for the user
