--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
--the new infrastructure can remember settings between
CustomBackgroundStyle and ColorStyle in order to
help the user to not have to reassign values
when changing backgrounds, between predefined
colors style and custom one.
--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
--behaveAsPlasmaPanel can now slide in/out as real windows
but after they hide there is a chance that their geometry
should be updated. This patch makes sure that this will
happen exactly before the BEHAVEASPLASMAPANEL starts
sliding-in.
--when the user has chosen to hide the screen gap
when there is a maximized window in the screen and
at the same time the View behaves as plasma panel,
it now slides in/out nicely
--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.
--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
--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
--in editing mode the panel background blur takes
into account inside the qml window, it is used
as a demonstration for the user. This patch
takes into account the blurred area roundness
in order to not blur faulty areas that are not
going to be blurred in the end.
--add a mouse wheel delayer like in other Latte
MouseArea(s) in order to limit the actions
executed through mouse wheel in one second.
The user can now execute five actions at maximum
in one second.
--mouse wheel can now be used from panel empty areas
in order to minimize windows or cycle between them.
The action is called ScrollToggleMinimed. When that
option is used the user can also use Ctrl+ScrollUp
in order to maximize a window or Ctrl+ScrollDown
to restore it
--floating views is a strange situation for which
plasma theme do not have any way to be protected for
their drawing (there is a chance that shadows and content
overlap). Latte in order to protect from that situation
now uses the auto-discovered plasma theme roundness to be used
in order to calculate the minimum thicknes for panel
background.
--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
--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.
--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
--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.
--block default-autopositioning for Layouts when the user
is changing location for the View. This way we are
trying to avoid issues concerning animations and glitches
during that animation.
--it is safer to block/unblock view hiding based on
edit mode animations. This way any view hiding mechanisms
are applied only after the containment editMode has
really applied.
--when the view settings window is closed then the
View must return to normal mode and disable
the editMode. In qt 5.14 default states that have a "when"
property do not play well
BUG:412940
--improved settings for Floating windows in Behavior
tab and add a new option to hide ALL screen gaps meaning
both length screen and thickness screen gap when there
is a maximized window in the screen
