What is xfce4-docklike-plugin?
==============================

Docklike Taskbar behaves similarly to many other desktop environments
and operating systems. Wherein all application windows are grouped
together as an icon and can be pinned to act as a launcher when the
application is not running. Commonly referred to as a dock.

Release notes for 0.5.0
=======================
Meson has been added as a build system in this release, and the
associated archive has been generated by 'meson dist'. Although
autotools has been retained for the time being and can still be used

autotools will be removed in a future release.
