> 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
>

Hi Stephan,

It appears with this release you've fixed a bug i was having with the
workspace switcher that i've been meaning to report. Nice work. :)

I've updated the package in the AUR (Arch User Repository) for this
release. Soon I may roll it into Manjaro's official binary repos as
well.

Thanks & keep up the good work.

Regards,
Rob McCathie
