Release notes for 0.2.3
=======================
I'm glad to announce this new release of xfce4-notifyd which ships
mostly bug fixes and code cleanups. Theming has also been improved with
additional style properties and drawing fixes.

Thanks a lot to all the persons who contributed to this release and kept
me motivated! This is the result of your work!

Xfce4-notifyd themes may need to be updated to take advantage of the new
style properties and to adapt to the theming changes. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

== FULL CHANGELOG ==

  libnotify is now required as a dependency to build a test suite and to
show improved notification previews.

  Features:
    * Add a category to the settings dialog for Xfce4 Settings Manager.
    * Add widget names to summary ("summary") and body ("body") widgets
to allow easier theming. Remove the redundant / buggy summary-bold style
property (bug #8431).
      Themes will have to be updated accordingly.

  Bugs fixed:
    * Fix notifications not disappearing after clicking an action
button.
    * Handle timeout correctly when smaller than fading time (bug
#8580).
    * Avoid flickering of the notifications.
    * Accept uri of images in icon_name parameter.
    * Parse body with g_markup_escape_text which allows us to handle
span attributes misused by some clients and to parse strings with
"unusual" characters such as & (bug #7773, #8187).
    * Respect border-width when drawing the notification (bug #9475).
    * Do not kill notification daemon to apply new theme. Instead,
handle style updates of existing notifications.
    * Show a button in the notification preview (bug #9982).
    * Add an icon to the notification preview.
