Release notes for 0.5.4
========================

* New feature: A theme can now define which actors in theme are
  focusable and in which order. Therefore a theme has to add
  <focusables> as child element of <interface> in layout file.
  For each focusable actor this <focusables> element contains
  a <focus> element with an "refID" attribute which refers to the
  ID of the actor which can be focused. The order <focus> elements
  is the order how the actors are focused. If the <focusables>
  element is missed in theme layout file the old behaviour is used.
  That means a fixed set of actor with a fixed order.
* New feature: Implemented a new button type XfdashboardActionButton
  This new actor performs an action on a specified target actor
  class when clicked. It is configured similar to a (key) binding
  and behaves similar but is reduced to a target and an action. E.g.
  if a XfdashboardActionButton is added to a layout (xfdashboard.xml)
  a target like "XfdashboardFocusManager" with action "focus-move-next"
  can be defined which will move the focus to next registered focusable
  actor like the default key "Tab" at key bindings. GH #102
* Implement action signal "exit" at XfdashboardApplication to perform
  quit of application when called which can be used at new button actor
  or at key bindings.
* Splitted function to determine desktop ID via environment variables
  from process ID of newly opened windows in application tracker into
  OS independent and OS dependent functions. Currently only Linux is
  supported and *BSD operating systems will use a fallback function
  doing nothing except for printing a warning once.
* Improved behaviour to use mouse wheel to change workspace. The new
  behaviour allows to change workspace anywhere on the screen when
  the mouse wheel was used over an actor which does not handle the
  event by itself and as long as the windows view is active. GH #103
* Added kudos to AppData
* Implemented a workaround for broken director monitor in Glib
  when running FreeBSD
* Lots of bug-fixes, really a lot
* Updated translations
