v1.4.0

2 years ago

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.
  • Network applet settings now opens in budgie-control-center if installed.
  • Network applet spinner icon handled correctly when connecting to VPNs.
  • Network applet settings now opens in budgie-control-center if installed.
  • Changed from ChangeLog to NEWS file for version history.

v1.3.0

2 years ago
  • 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.
