Release notes for 0.3.9
========================
* Notice: Raised minimum version of Glib to 2.32 as too much
macros are used that were introduce with this version
* New feature: XfdashboardDesktopAppInfo is a new class wrapping
a GarconMenuItem and a string for the desktop ID. It also
implements the GAppInfo interface. So it can be used - more or
less - as a drop-in replacement for GDesktopAppInfo. By wrapping
GarconMenuItem it gains all it's advantages over GDesktopAppInfo,
e.g. supporting desktop file of type "Link" to start a web-browser
with the url specified in desktop file. Also a "Link" desktop file
can be added to quicklaunch. It emits a "changed" signal
if the desktop file was modifed. So all icons in xfdashboard
representing an application will be updated immediately (#67)
* New feature: XfdashboardApplicationDatabase is a new class
combining all sources for applications. It wraps the GarconMenu
instance for the root menu which contains all sub-menus and menu
items and is used by applications view. It also loads all desktop
files of installed application from system-wide paths and user
directories. It notices all modifications to these desktop files
(even if a user desktop file overrides a system-wide and vice
versa) and sends a "changed" signal which causes the
XfdashboardApplicationButton to update its title, description
and icon. (#67)
* Removed feature: Removed hotkey tracker as it was no more
or less a keylogger which also worked and called xfdashboard
in background when the screen was locked. (#69)
* Implement "activating" signal at XfdashboardTooltipAction
to get a last chance to update tooltip text before it is
displayed
* Rewrote XfdashboardSearchView to make use of selection and
key-binding/key-navigation framework (#63)
* Added "GenericName" to application desktop file to better
comply openSuSE desktop file validation checks (not all)
* Fixed compiler warnings, build system and other smaller bug
fixes
* Added translations:
- es (prflr88)
- he (GenghisKhan)
- it_IT (cri)
- sr (salepetronije)
Thanks to all translators :)
