libplasma 3.0 / KDE 4.2
|
||
|
|
=======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libplasma
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
* Build
|
||
|
|
* libplasma has moved to kdelibs from kdebase-workspace and as such there is no longer a need to use FindPlasma.cmake. FindKDE4 now provides all the necessary plasma CMake bits needed, and using libplasma does not create a kdebase-workspace dependency for your application anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Features
|
||
|
|
* Symbol Versioning: limit loading of plugins to those that match the libplasma version
|
||
|
|
* NEW: ToolTipManager for Plasma style tooltips
|
||
|
|
* NEW: Wallpaper plugins for Containments
|
||
|
|
* NEW: Context for coordinating and publishing Context information, such as the current Activity or phsyical location
|
||
|
|
* Applet
|
||
|
|
* sizeHintChanged() signal. A containment (such as a panel) can adjust its size based on changed sizehints of an applet
|
||
|
|
* ContextConstraint events and access to the current Context object
|
||
|
|
* Shortcut editor in Applet configuration dialog allows setting of global shortcuts per-widget
|
||
|
|
* NEW: Plasma::Extender and Plasma::ExtenderItem, allowing visual, relocatable extensions to Applet
|
||
|
|
* NEW: PopupApplet, which switches between an icon with a popup in a Horizontal/Vertical containment (such as a panel) and the widget directly on the canvas in a Planer containment (such as a desktop), the icon can be replaced with custom graphics or widgets by the implementation
|
||
|
|
* Containment
|
||
|
|
* Support dropping of arbitrary data if the mimetypes are supported by an applet
|
||
|
|
* Activity naming and Context support
|
||
|
|
* Toolbox can be positioned in any corner or edge
|
||
|
|
* Toolbox actions are displayed as an always open toolbar when zoomed out for improved usability
|
||
|
|
* Corona
|
||
|
|
* addOffscreenWidget/removeOffscreenWidget: manage canvas items that should not appear in a primary view (e.g. Extenders)
|
||
|
|
* "screen" information querying added to Corona to allow different approaches for viewports; e.g. using KWindowSystem and QDesktopWidget for the Plasma shell, but window coordinates for plasmodviewer or other non-desktop apps.
|
||
|
|
* Package system
|
||
|
|
* PackageStructure supports arbitrary URIs (in addition to auto-discovery for package) structure description files.
|
||
|
|
* Package removal
|
||
|
|
* Package browsing interface can be provided by the PackageStructure plugin, allowing for 3rd party widget collectionsto offer online browsing and fetching customizations
|
||
|
|
* FrameSvg
|
||
|
|
* setting the margins via in-SVG hints
|
||
|
|
* paintPanel API additions to make it more like QPainter and Plasma::Svg
|
||
|
|
* Runners
|
||
|
|
* TryExec key in .desktop file now supported, allowing runners that rely on an external application to be conditional loaded at runtime
|
||
|
|
* Service
|
||
|
|
* Allow enabling/disabling of operations at runtime
|
||
|
|
* Associate widgets with operations
|
||
|
|
* Theme
|
||
|
|
* Support compressed SVGs (*.svgz)
|
||
|
|
* Supports a pixmap cache and a SVG element rects cache for faster startup
|
||
|
|
* Widgets

||
|
|
* NEW: Plasma::Slider based on QSlider
|
||
|
|
* NEW: Plasma::TabBar based on QTabBar, usable as both a standalone tabbar or as a tabwidget
|
||
|
|
* NEW: Plasma::Frame used to visually group widgets
|
||
|
|
* NEW: Plasma::TreeView used to put tree views or simple list in the canvas

|
|
* Prevent crash when Containment that AppletBrowser is associated with is deleted
|
||
|
|
* Applet handles work with all icon sizes (user system settings)
|
||
|
|
* Fix View so that when a new activity is added, don't move more than necessary;
|
||
|
|
fixes dragging lock
|
||
|
|
* Dramatically fewer full paints by properly watching the exposed rect area, which for full screen Containments or large/complex Applets is quite significant in terms of performance
|
||
|
|
* Fix on-exit crashes related to focus handling issues in QGraphicsView
|
||
|
|
* Prevention of premature calls to Applet::constraintsEvent
|
||
|
|
* Applets now resize in "real time" without the pixelation
|
||
|
