Release notes for 0.3.5
========================
* New feature: Implemented configurable key-bindings. So there
are no more hard-coded keys in xfdashboard anymore, except for
ESC to clear search-box and quitting application. The application
will first lookup a user-defined keyboard binding configuration
file 'xfdashboard/bindings.xml' at user's configuration folder
which is ${HOME}/.config/xfdashboard/bindings.xml usually. If
this file is not found, it will lookup a system-wide keyboard
configuration file which is a default one - usually installed
at /usr/share/xfdashboard/bindings.xml. The application will
quit with error if none was found. (#35, #41)
* New feature: Allow changing theme at run-time by modifying the
xfconf property "/theme". As soon as this value changes the
new theme is applied. Sadly this also breaks current theme API.
All references in CSS and XML files to class XfdashboardStage
have to be replaced with new actor XfdashboardStageInterface.
The new actor shares the same stylable properties and all
changes will be applied to the old actor on-the-fly. So consider
XfdashboardStageInterface is a one-to-one in-place replacement
for XfdashboardStage. (#59)
* Fixed reflecting geometry changes of a window in window view by
ensuring that XfdashboardWindowContent returns always the right
size of window (#54)
* Fixed command-line parameter "--help" to show help again when
Glib version 2.40 or higher is used (#38)
* Updated files to year 2015. BTW: Happy new year to everyone :)
* Fixed memory corruption when releasing lower-case coverted strings
in applications search provider. This bug was seen when someone
tried to lookup more than one keyword in search - when space
was pressed. (#61)
* Lots of smaller improvements. Especially because of the newly
introduced key bindings.
* Lots of other smaller bug-fixes
