** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  A new version of Cairo-Dock is available: v. 3.3.2. It's a bug-fix
  version. Here is the detailed ChangeLog:
  
  * Cairo-Dock:
      - Class: implemented a workaround for Chromium and Google Chrome web apps 
(the same as used in Bamf)
      - Docks: fixed 2 bugs when reloading a dock: when changing the visibility 
from 'keep hidden' to 'hide when overlapping a window' and when changing the 
offset from the screen edges, there were no visual changes until the next 
session.
      - Launching animation: don't stop it when the dock hides itself
      - Menus: correctly setup the menu during its initial state: default menu 
entry of some menus was not selected
      - Taskbar:
        - Fixed a regression when the application changes its class
        - Removed 'opening animation' option: was not working and it was 
duplicated in plugins (Animated-Icons and Icon-effect)
      - Translations: imported translations from Launchpad
  
  * Plugins:
      - Animated-icons: show the option to disable the 'opening animations' in 
Animated-icons' settings (was in the core but it was not working)
      - DBus: third-party: init: register the applets after having set the text 
domain for gettext (titles was not translated)
      - Dock-rendering: panel view: fixed the input shape when there is a 
single group of icons (no separator) LP: #1089052
      - GMenu:
        - Apps: fixed tiny memory leak when stopping the applet
        - Apps: New app: avoid multiple dialogues and select the first item in 
the list (very annoying when installing a lot of apps)
        - Entry: with GTK 3.10: both the entry and the menu receive the signal 
that a key is pressed. This caused a bug: each character was doubled
        - Menus: added a workaround for libgnomemenu if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is 
not defined (e.g. when using XFCE, the menu layout was wrong)
      - Icon Effect: config: move 'opening animation' option to 'when clicking 
on a launcher' section
      - MusicPlayer: fixed a bug when changing the player (the icon was not 
updated) and fixed a few small memory leaks
      - System Monitor:
        - SWAP percent was computed twice
        - Fixed crash if we want to display more than 4 values in a graph view 
[HIGH]
      - Shortcuts: bookmarks file:
        - If the file doesn't exist, first create the directory before creating 
an empty file (fixed crash on non-GNOME desktop environment if 
~/.config/gtk-3.0 dir was not available) LP: #1244997 [HIGH]
        - Check for the existence of the old and new bookmark files to decide 
which one to use (to avoid empty bookmark list on some DE: XFCE, Linux Mint)
      - Weather: on double-click on the main icon, show the hourly forecast 
instead of doing nothing
      - Translations: imported translations from Launchpad.  LP: #1243608
  
  (most of the bug reports linked to these changes are available in Cairo-
  Dock's forum: forum.glx-dock.org)
  
  [Impact]
  
- As you can see, this new version fixes a few bugs (some are more annoying 
than other) and it also fixes two crashes.
+ 1) As you can see, this new version fixes a few bugs (some are more annoying 
than other) and it also fixes two crashes.
  The most important bug here is detailed on LP: #1244997 : on some non-GNOME 
DE (e.g. KDE), '~/.config/gtk-3.0' dir is not available: it is unreadable or 
not created and this problem causes a crash.
+ 
+ 2) Inside docks, icons can be aligned (to the middle, right or left of the 
screen's border)
+ When using the "panel" mode, separators expand to fill the screen width 
(which separates icons in distinct groups), but when there is no separator, all 
icons are grouped together, and in this case, they didn't respect the alignment 
parameter.
+ This can be quite annoying in some cases for instance, this prevents the user 
from being able to move the icons away from the top-left corner of the screen, 
which is where window's controls are on Ubuntu.
+ The fix was to correctly take into account the alignment in this particular 
case.
  
  [Test Case]
  
- On a fresh installation of KUbuntu (or remove/rename/change owner/change 
rights/... of this dir: '~/.config/gtk-3.0'):
+ 1) On a fresh installation of KUbuntu (or remove/rename/change owner/change 
rights/... of this dir: '~/.config/gtk-3.0'):
  * Install Cairo-Dock 3.3.1 (from Ubuntu repos)
  * Launch it (with the default theme)
  * It crashes
  * Install the 3.3.2 version (e.g by adding the official ppa: 
ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa and update the system)
  * Re-launch the dock
  * no more crashes.
  
+ 2) create a dock with an icon inside, set this dock with the "panel"
+ view, and then try to change the alignment to the right: it won't work
+ 
  [Regression Potential]
  
  This new version (3.3.2) has been released a few weeks ago (2013-10-29).
  It is used by many people (on 2013-11-11, ~27.700 users have downloaded
  this version from our ppa according to the stats given by Launchpad) and
  it seems there is no regression due to this version.
+ 
+ 2) it only concerns the position of icons in docks with "panel" view and no 
separator in the dock, which is by itself not a common use case.
+ we checked that it didn't influence the placement of icons when there is at 
least 1 separator, and that icons can be placed on the left, middle and right 
when there is no separator.
