Release notes for 0.1.5
=======================
* New feature: Added framework for search providers. The search
view was rewritten to use the new framework for search providers.
A search provider can use any source it wants but should be
quick as search is done synchronously. Each search provider must
create an actor for each of its result items if requested. Each
registered search provider will be called each time a search is
performed - either as full search or as incremental search to a
previous one if each search term in new search is a prefix of
its counterpart in new search and if their order did not change.
* More actors' properties are themable
* XfdashboardActor is no more abstract and can be used like a
normal ClutterActor (e.g. as container) but remains themable.
* XfdashboardTextBox can now take a format string and a variable
number of arguments through its *_va functions. They act like
printf().
* Increase performance when browsing applications menu by avoiding
unnessary rebuilds of this view if any of its view-mode related
property has changed.
* Images are now loaded asynchronously but might flicker
* Fixed a bug when stage is set to fullscreen but most actors
are unuable when using clutter greater or equal to version 1.16.0.
This is temporary solution to fix issue #1
* Fixed visual bug when drawing outline at XfdashboardBackground
derived actors. This introduces the first effect named
XfdashboardOutlineEffect which takes care to draw outline last
and also manages which side of border should be drawn.
* Some more little bugfixes
