Breathing Space

• Lots of new and updated translations from the wonderful translations team. Congrats all
• build: mini apps such as previews and shuffler are no longer autoenabled if building
  and installing the whole of extras. A build option exists to control this.
• traditional layout now reflects the budgie desktop v10.7 default layout.
• bug-fix - reset key-grabs (overlays) where there is not a custom defined key combination
• code-cleanup don't hard-code /tmp in various applets
• bug-fix - wallstreet accepts custom folder with spaces
• Trash Applet has been updated as follows:
  • support multiple file drag and drop to panel icon
  • show trash full icon when there are items in trash
  • open trash folder instead of popup when > 100 items
  • fix paths with certain characters not restoring correctly

Budgie Bonanza

Following enhancements and bug-fixes:

• Budgie Applications Menu applet: this has the following enhancements from upstream:
  • App context menu available when right click from search results.
    Reads the PrefersNonDefaultGPU setting from .desktop files and uses that to automatically configure default or non-default GPU.
  • Adds a new context menu to support choosing the other GPU (integrated if PrefersNonDefaultGPU is set to true, discrete if key not present or its set to false).
  • Categories have been slimmed down - less apps should default to the “Other” category.
    when searching, Nemo bookmarks are also displayed in the search results.
• Applications menu category view now defaults to 6px which gives a less squashed look for most themes - this can be configured via the applet settings.
• Quicknote pop-up correctly retains its scroll-position so no need to keep scrolling up and down to find text you previously was looking at.
• Made Shuffler more robust, handling situations when a window was just closed before a shuffler action was performed on it, or when trying to perform an action on a window of an invalid window type (e.g. a dialog window).
• Budgie Previews, Budgie Quickchar and Budgie Window Shuffler now appear in GNOME-Software with meaningful descriptions and pictures.
• Shuffle windows according to which is the active monitor.
• Shuffle Control window animations match Budgie Settings' cross-fade.
• Fix Shuffler rules to check window type (so e.g. dialog windows won't be positioned).
• Dropby handle MMC (SD Cards) as well as USB.
• Add ChromeOS based layout.
• Update default Ubuntu Budgie layout.
• Add delay option for Hot-corners; useful for touchpads that have difficulty measuring speed of movement.
• Lots and lots of translations.
• Handle terminating secondary processes more gracefully, when applets are removed from the panel .
• Removed Window Mover applet since no longer supported.
• Removed Workspace Overview applet since no longer supported.
• Ejecting from Dropby is managed with modern API.
• Fixed Dropby popup timing.
• Replaced deprecated Notify2 based notifications with notify-send.
• Desktop file icons moved to the recommended hicolor icon folder location.
• Fixed missing QuickChar icon; new icon designed.

Hustle and Shuffle

• Lots of updated translations from our brilliant translators
• Fix for spamming the syslog when previews was enabled but end-user was logged into a wayland desktop session
• Budgie Window Shuffler applet to apply layouts visually
  Fix for Window Shuffler layouts executable installation path to work on stateless distros
  Window Shuffler Control has been completely revamped and redesigned
  Shuffler now includes Window Rules
  Shuffler Window rules now allow you to open application windows on specific workspaces
• note: GNOME 40 and later utilises the Shuffler super alt left/right keys. For Ubuntu Budgie we use a gsetting override to revert to wm keybindings prior to GNOME 40
• Applications Menu - Calculator now shows a visual hint how to copy the result to the clipboard. Try it - press Super then enter 2+2
  Applications Menu - transition from Grid to List modes is now a fade rather than a slide animation
  We no longer install the elementary gsettings schema - this ensures we don’t clash with a pantheon install. The elementary schema entry is now found in the budgie applications schema.
  Some themes space the category list oddly. We now have a user configurable override (adjust category spacing) in the applet settings allowing you to control the spacing.
• Fuzzy Clock - always default to 12hr spoken clock format
• Network applet: Fix where after connecting to a VPN spinner cursor was still showing
• VisualSpace - we now display a hint when you open the popover - scrolling over the panel icon changes the workspace.
• Brightness Controller has now been reworked to use GNOMEs dbus control … so this should be all distro friendly and will reflect accurately the same Power slider in GNOME Settings.

Magic Windows

• Window Shuffler - Window Rules: Add ability to set the position and size together with the monitor location to open an application on
• Window Shuffler - Layouts: Add the ability to launch and group together multiple applications
• Applications Menu:
  • Cosmetic - labels on budgie-desktop-settings are left aligned.
    from upstream
  • Terminal apps are no-longer shown in the menu such as htop. They still can be searched for and run - ensure you have gnome-terminal or xterm to view.
• QuickChar installation is now easier on other on Debian based distro's - should not now need to patch your install locations
• Bug fix for the applications menu so that rollover menus settings is remembered on logon.
• The number of cities that our weather applet can now search has increased from 22.6k to 185k
• Applets now support stateless based distros and the XDG autostart path can both be defined at compilation time
• Bug fix for the brightness applet to not change the popup width when percentage changes between 100% and 0%
• Translations have been updated from all our Transifex translators
• Take-a-break applet now depends on libnotify-dev

Run Rabbit Run

• Dropby: Applet settings now has the ability to display the USB window notification in any corner you define
• Dropby: Animation when copying media so that you now when copying is in progress/finished
• Application Menu: Touch Screen friendly - can now swipe on your touchscreen
• Application Menu: Better keyboard navigation from the search to categories etc.
• Application Menu: Search bar changes position to the bottom when on a bottom panel
• Application Menu: Hide the large number of Settings menu icons shown in the grid view and the System Tools category menu - its more elegant this way - use the search capabilities to find Settings options like bluetooth and sharing etc.
• Application Menu: In a similar fashion the logout/restart/suspend/shutdown icons have now been removed. Search actions are now available for these + the ability to "lock" the screen when searching and "hibernate" if you have enabled hibernation separately

• Application Menu: Handle fractions calculations correctly
• Previews: auto close when app loses focus

• Network: left/right panels do not have a large space when applet placed in end section.
• Window Shuffler - enable/disabling the capability is now dynamic - there is no need to logout/login
• Window Shuffler Sticky Neighbours - new capability to resize adjacent windows automatically https://youtu.be/j6mrrVpE5A0
• Window Shuffler - feedback when trying to tile windows that have a minimum size bigger than the tile placement
• Window Shuffler - add CLI option to place apps to any tile position. This allows everyone to script their launch and placement setup
• WeatherShow - add the ability to display a custom location for the weather city
• Make distro friendly: Some distros don't use some stuff located in /usr/bin and other file locations. We have now reworked the vala applets/mini apps to compile to user-defined system locations (i.e. via meson --bindir --sysconfdir --prefix --libdir)
• Countdown: This applet is now vertical panel friendly with icons and text respecting the space available on vertical panels
• General: Latest translations from the Transifex team
• budgie-workspace-wallpaper-applet has been rewritten in Vala. This has been done primarily to ensure no inadvertent panel crashes. In addition it takes into account the budgie desktop changes we made to switch wallpapers almost instantaneously (without animation) when switching workspaces.
• Keyboard Autoswitcher: Stop crash when gnome-screensaver starts before the panel starts
