ANNOUNCE: xfdashboard 0.1.4 released

[Stephan Haller]

Icons are now loaded asynchronously but it isn't the performance
increase I expected. Let's hope that the new search manager and
providers I developing will help increasing search speed. 

Regards,

I believe most time is spent to load the icons synchronously. Maybe I get it working sometimes to load them asynchrously then searching apps should be faster but missing icons until loading them is completed.
