Release notes for 0.5.4
========================
* New feature: A new plugin and the first search provider plugin
gnome-shell-search-providers was implemented and added which
uses all search providers installed for Gnome-Shell at
/usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers usually. It must be
enabled in Xfconf property "/enabled-plugins" manually.
* New feature: Implement a new actor in XfdashboardLiveWorkspace
showing the workspace's name which is hidden by default but
can be turned on by a theme. The workspace name actor gets the
class ".title" added so that the actor (a XfdashboardButton)
can also be themed. GH #105
* New feature: Add new signal "application-launched" to
XfdashboardApplication which can be used by any object to
indicate that it launched an application successfully.
* New feature: The applications search provider now counts how
often an application was launched and can be used to calculate
the relevance of an application in a search. This search
provider supports new sort modes for this case and can be
controlled via an unsigned integer property called
"/components/applications-search-provider/match-mode"
in channel "xfdashboard" at Xfconf which represents a flag.
The default is "none" (with value zero) which is the old
behaviour for just sorting them by title in alphabetical
order. It is possible to sort them by relevance or score
(with value one) or number of application launches (with
value two) or both (with value 3). GH #106
* New feature: The result set (XfdashboardSearchResultSet) can
now store a score between 0.0 and 1.0 for each item. This score
can be used to order the result by score. A new sort mode in
the applications search provider makes use of it and is a
result GH #106
* New feature: Add pseudo-class ':insensitive' when actor
changes its reactive state to being not reactive. If actor is
reactive that pseudo-class is removed.
* Allow moving a window from one monitor to another in multi-monitor
setups by drag'n'drop the window between window views. GH #98
* XfdashboardButton supports settings GIcon now instead of icon
names only.
* Improved hash value creation for icon names and GIcon at image
cache at class XfdashboardImageContent
* Improved sharing cached image contents between images created
for icon-names or file-name directly and GIcons derived from
GFileIcon or GThemedIcon.
* Activating a result item in search view or launching external
application to perform search in application of search provider
will now quit (standalone) or suspend (daemon mode) application
* Moved logic to handle mapping of actors for result items from
search view to result container of each search provider
* Limit number of search results shown for each search provider
which can be configured by a theme
* Fix starting a real new application instance when environment
variable XFDASHBOARD_FORCE_NEW_INSTANCE is set to any (even
empty) value. Needs xfdashboard being built with DEBUG enabled.
* Fix visual error at applications view when using icon mode and
crashes of xfdashboard. GH #109 and GH #110
* Lots of bug-fixes, really really really a lot
* Fixed lots of typos
* Fixed lots of compiler warnings
* Updated translations
