Public bug reported:
Hello,
The stable version of Cairo-Dock (and its plugins) is now available and should
be uploaded to Quantal repositories.
Even if there are a lot of changes (this is why I'm introducing a FFe), this is
a 'bug-fix' version.
Changes are big mainly because the translations have been updated and a lot of
GCC warnings (from -Wall and -Wextra) have been fixed.
We also need a 'ACK' for the plugins: due to the recent rewrite of
indicator-messages, 'Messaging-Menu' has been rewritten too to directly load
the .so file. Now it's just easy to add a new indicator applet and this is why
'Printers-Menu' (indicator-printers) and 'Sync-Menu' (indicator-sync) applets
have been added just by modifying the name of the .so file.
So this change in 'Messaging-Menu' was needed (and mostly based on the work of
Ted Gould with its 'applet-main.c' from 'indicator-applet' project). We added
two new applets just because it was really easy to add these applets: just by
modified this line: cd_indicator3_load () (which indicator_object_new_from_file
() like other 'indicator-applet').
This is the detailed ChangeLog since the last version:
- Only disable drag'n'drop onto the dock when the dock is completely
locked, not when the icons position is locked.
- Prevented quicklists for an icon
(e.g. used by musicPlayer applet to remove double menu entries)
- Menu: renamed this title: 'Below *other* windows'
+ fixed a typo (bIsMaximized was checked a bit too late)
- Man: 'A' ('ask-backend') option was missing and 'i' (indirect) is
no longer supported + for 'colors', used 'F' instead of 'A' which
is already used by 'ask-backend'
- When a label is updated, update the drawing accordingly
- Dialogs: fixed a crash if the dialog was forced above (GTK3)
- Advanced GUI: fixed a bug that prevented to edit a 2nd instance of
an applet
+ renamed 'cairo-dock-gui-main.[ch]' to 'cairo-dock-gui-advanced.[ch]'
- Don't close the dock if no plug-ins are found, just display the message
- Menu on appli: put the window actions into a single menu-item, which
avoid having a crowded menu or another sub-menu
- Default view: use all the screen space to avoid the jitter of the dock
when it is resized (although this is mainly a problem in the Window
Managers, unfortunately very few handle the resizing correctly)
- Locked dock: prevent any modification when the dock is locked
- Advanced GUI: fixed a small bug when reloading an applet
- Application manager: handle the case where there is no dock
(e.g. for cairo-desklet)
- when starting in maintenance mode, force the use of the advanced
configuration (easier to fix problem)
- Compilation: fixed a lot of warnings during the compilation
(mostly 'unused-variable' and 'unused-parameters' by using
G_GNUC_UNUSED) when using -Wall and -Wextra
- GTK3.4: used GtkGrid instead of GtkTable (now deprecated)
- Labels in vertical dock:
+ fixed the calculation with a helper
+ terminate with a gradation if the label is too large to be fully drawn
+ fixed a small offset in the position of the X icon geometry
- Indicators: icons was not visible with the Cairo backend if we wanted to
have an image as indicator of the active window and if we don't give
any image
- Fixed a bug in cairo_dock_create_surface_from_pattern
(when using a pattern as the background image)
- Themes: Added write rights in the new theme folder
(if the user has just changed its current theme)
- OpenGL backend: fixed a small bug in the drawing of always visible icons
- Fixed a crash when re-inserting an applet into a dock
- GUI: fixed 2 bugs in the module widget
- Taskbar: when placing appli icons after launchers, don't count
separators as launchers
- When loading an image based on a pattern, constrain the image height,
so that it only repeats on its width
- Taskbar: added back the use of _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION
(this might be used by Skype and therefore solve the bug LP: #1013635)
- Menu: Window Actions: drawn: Min - Max - Close instead of
Max - Min - Close + drawn Min and Max only if the window is not hidden
- Code cleaning: removed a few useless g_print (or used cd_debug instead)
- Menu: Custom icon: only display images on the file chooser
- Menu: Custom Icon: do not display the menu entry if bLockAll is defined
(if the action is useless) + do not stop the action if bLockIcons
- Widget Items: the main GtkWindow is needed to build other widgets
- po: imported translations from Launchpad and Added Lithuanian language
- Options: AskBackend: show the backend even if we force the use of the
OpenGL backend
- Help: Help menu entry: this menu entry no longer worked: used
cairo_dock_show_items_gui like the Edit menu entry
- Menu: Help menu entry: if we use the simple mode, switch to the advanced
mode because the help settings are only available there
- Some cleaning
And for the plug-ins:
- All:
+ Graph: iRadius parameter is no longer needed
+ Notifications: removed unused registrations to a few signals
(on click, on middle click, on build menu, etc.)
+ Code cleaning: removed a few useless g_print (or used cd_debug instead)
+ Code cleaning: fixed a lot of GCC's warnings when using -Wall
+ po: updated the translations
+ po: Added Lithuanian and Hebrew languages
- Cairo-Penguin: its menu wasn't displayed when clicking on the character
- Dock-Rendering:
+ Slide view: fixed the arrow color when the sub-dock is on a side of
the screen
+ Slide view: renamed the files + fixed the position of the sub-dock when
the parent dock's alignment is not centered
- Doncky: fixed a lot (and a lot) memory leaks and warnings during the
compilation
- GMenu: for those having a big lag when opening the menu for the first
time: it's now possible to load all icons at startup (hidden option)
- GVFS:
+ No longer added the home directory when listing vfs-root
+ Fixed a few memory leaks
+ Renamed '/' by 'File System' (name used by other DE)
+ Removed an useless strcmp
- Indicators:
+ Added support of the new Indicator (3-0.4)
(needed for the new version of indicator-messaging)
+ Added Printers-Menu and Sync-Menu (they just load the right .so file)
- Mail:
+ Fixed a few memory leaks and removed useless variables' initialisations
+ Set '/' as a default path if none is defined in conf
- Messaging-Menu:
+ This applet was broken on Ubuntu Quantal due to the recent changes in
the messagin-menu deamon. Now we use Indicator-applet3 to manage the
applet. The code is now shorter, it should be safer and it's no longer
needed to sync the code between indicator-messages and this
Messaging-Menu applet
+ Removed the link to ido (it's not needed)
- musicPlayer:
+ Prevent displaying quicklist, since the applet already provides all the
common actions for any player
+ mpris2: some players doesn't support (well) the 'trackid'
(e.g. Audacious or Pithos)
+ cover: used a loop instead of checking all names one by one
- Powermanager:
+ UPower: displayed the details of all batteries
(and not only the first one)
+ Connected to 'device-added' and 'device-removed' signals if the user
adds or removes a battery (and avoid wrong informations)
- Recent-Events:
+ Dialog: no longer added removed files
+ Dialog: Applications: Used the translated name
+ Recent files: added deleted files to the hashtable to prevent useless
g_file_test
- Shortcuts:
+ Bookmarks: moved Home to the bookmarks list (like most files managers)
+ Added the disk space progress bar on the Home folder, since /home is
not listed by gvfs except if /home is on another partition
- showDesktop:
+ Checked the XRandr version with the core function to avoid crash
if XRandr 1.2 is not available
- Stack:
+ Used 'g_uri_unescape_string' instead of 'g_filename_from_uri' to
support all uri an not only 'file://'
- Status-Notifier: if the item doesn't have info for the title, the ID is
shown but this string is cut (12 chars)
- Switcher: changed the 'render' notification order to draw the desklet
after the desklet manager
The new version is ready to be uploaded on Ubuntu repos ;)
Thank you for your help!
PS: sorry to propose this stable version now but it's not easy to fix
all new bugs introduced just before the FF :) (most of the work after
the FF have been done by only 2 devs which are not full-time paid for
that ;) )
