Release notes for 0.5.90
========================

* New feature: Split application into core library (shared library
   called libxfdashboard) and simple application (xfdashboard) which
   makes use of core library. This new library makes objects reusable,
   e.g. plugins, and functions reusable, e.g. in settings application.
   Now header files and a shared library will be installed
   additionally.
* New feature: A new plugin and the first "other" plugin (it is
   neither a plugin providing a new view nor one providing a new
   search provider) called 'hot corner' was implemented. It adds
   the function to activate or suspend xfdashboard when the pointer
   is moved to a configured corner on primary monitor. Therefore
   xfdashboard must run in daemonized mode.
* New feature: Add configuration button in settings application
   and make the plugins 'clock-view' and 'hot-corner' configurable.
* Fixed a bug at the layout manager's allocation function of
   object class XfdashboardDynamicTableLayout which set the
   allocation on container within the layout manager's allocation
   function and calls itself recursively and infinitely.
* Fixed the calculation of number of columns and rows and also
   the largest width and/or height of all children in object class
   XfdashboardDynamicTableLayout to prevent recursive and infinite
   calls to the same function. Also fixed number of columns or rows
   when we need to reduce them to fit into allocation. (GH #111)
* Fixed visual distorsion when allocation of a view or its
   scrollbar ranges might have changed. (GH #112)
* Fixed actors of applications view filling whole horizontal space
* Implement file monitor to Gnome-Shell search provider plugin
   to get notified about new, modified or removed providers
   during run-time.
* Changed API of object class XfdashboardApplication to match and
   unify it with other single instance APIs
* Keep order of search providers at search view in order as they
   were registered to have a constant order
* Add missing public functions to check if a window is maximized
   or fullscreen
* Add CSS class '.window-state-maximized' to actors of type
   XfdashboardLiveWindow when the associated window is maximized.
   That's just a new class added to the already present CSS classes
   '.window-state-pinned', '.window-state-minimized' and
   '.window-state-urgent'.
* Some more bug-fixes, typos fixed etc.
* Updated translations
