Release notes for 4.15.0
========================
This is a development release aimed at testers and translators. Parole
4.16.0 should be expected in the coming weeks.
Playlist Improvements:
- Playlist is now an in-window popover instead of a slide-out panel
- Shuffle functionality now utilizes a sort filter instead of randomly
selecting the next track, making it possible makeing the playback
history more accurate (#32)
DVD Support:
- Added a menu option to activate the subpicture menu
- DVD chapter selection from the playlist is functional again
- The DVD menu will now automatically load if playback does not start
successfully
Dialog Appearance Improvements:
Each of the dialogs were ported to CSD with some cleanup and default
buttons marked as "suggested". The following dialogs had some additional
improvements:
- Go To Position: Timestamp inputs changed to vertical orientation for
better clock-like appearance
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Adjusted to "always-center" positioning since
transient positioning failed
- Open File: Spinner configured as the FileChooser "extra" widget
- Open Location: Removed some duplicated text
- Plugins: Rearranged the plugins manager, and moved credits to a
per-plugin About dialog
- Save Playlist: File type panel replaced with a combobox that also
filters the FileChooser
General:
- Added basic GitLab pipeline
- Added new icon and icon name "org.xfce.parole"
- Added README.md
- Fixed distcheck builds with intltool 0.51.0
- Fixed full-debug builds with GLib 2.35+
- Fixed missing-prototypes errors
- Player controls are no longer hidden while the sound popover is open
- Selecting an option on the "Stream is taking too long" dialog will now
dismiss the dialog
