3.0: Dropping GConf

So far, Simdock used GConf to store its configuration. But GConf is finally really going away, including being removed from some distributions like Void Linux (see #17). With this release, Simdock uses WxConfig instead, which is likely to provide a stable config mechanism for years to come.

With GConf gone there was no known way to migrate the old settings. That is why the major version number was increased. Thankfully the starters were stored separately in ~/.simdock/, a mechanism that was independent of GConf and continues to work as before - the old starters are not gone.

2.0: GTK3 and Compositing

The main changes

• Swap libraries and some code logic so simdock can work with wxWidgets-GTK3
• Enable composited transparent background. This seems to work only with a sufficient new wxWidgets version, like the current wxWidgets-3.2.4.
• The app should select bigger app icons by default now, if available
• Small bug fixes

Small bugfix release

Anti-Aliasing

Improve image quality of rendered icons

rsvg

This compatibility releases moves the svg code from wxSVG to rsvg, as wxSVG was not working on some systems. This release also moves the Makefile back to a simpler version, the complicated Makefile was dying on me as well.

Vector icons

Changes:

• Support for SVG icons. Many iconpackages are distributed as vector graphics. Those files can now be used as starter icons
• The starter icon will be permanently used as application image. This looks nicer, as they can be of higher quality than the small application icons used otherwise. Tasks (icons that are no starters) still refresh their icon.
• Middle click on an icon starts a new instance of the corresponding problem. This fixes a regression blocking that function.
• It is now easier to middle click on an icon without accidentally moving the simdock frame instead, reusing the same movement detection logic to make left clicks on icons easier.
  • Fix: The launcher dialog for new launchers complained about a missing image for the icon selector.

try to fix ubuntu build by moving it ti wxwidgets 3.0

wxWidgets compatibility release

Simdock was broken with wxWidgets on newer versions than the one used in Ubuntu 14.04. This release contains some small compatibility fixes that fix it for wxWidgets on version 3.0.2.

Simdock 1.4

Release to pinpoint the current state. Primary purpose is easier integration into package managers, but simdock was also relatively stable for the last year on my system.
