KDDockWidgets 2.1.0

KDDW 2.1 has been released:

500 commits later, KDDW 2.1 offers stability over 2.0, without breaking changes.
2.0 users are advised to upgrade.

While not every modification is listed in the changelog, several notable changes include:

Bug fixes:

• Fixed dock widget float button when using main window nesting
• Fixed double-click on titlebar not floating it if auto-hide flag was enabled
• Fixed auto-hide overlay not updating its position when main window was resized
• Fixed crash when doing sequential open() and close() calls (#326)
• Fixed double-click the guest widget would make window float
• LayoutSaverOption::Skip now honours docked dock widgets
• Fixed DockWidget::addDockWidgetToContainingWindow() when using nested main windows (#386)
• Multiple fixes for save/restore when windows are maximized (#499, #477)
• Several fixes regarding nested main windows

QtQuick:

• Added API to set affinities via QML (#465)
• Allow to mix MDI with docking, as already done with QtWidgets
• Fixed DPI of icons in TitleBar.qml Looks better when using 150% and 200% scalling now.
• Fixed MDI widgets not raising when clicked on
• Fixed redock not working when mixing MDI with docking
• Fixed crash in KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetInstantiator::isFocusedChanged (#501)
• Fixed several crashes when deleting dock widgets in MDI mode (#472, #473)

QtWidget:

• Fixed crash when unpinning a window
• Honours overriding DockWidget::closeEvent() to prevent closing
• Introduced MainWindowOption_QDockWidgets and MainWindowOption_ManualInit
• Fixed crashes when restoring dock widgets
• Improvements for honouring preferred size when calling addDockWidget()

MDI:

• Don't show resize handles if widget is fixed size
• Fixed mouse cursor not being restored when dock widgets were overlapping
• Added Config::setMDIFlags() and MDIFlag_NoClickToRaise

Misc:

• Updated to nlohmann json v3.11.3, from v3.10.5. Only relevant if you're not using system nlohmann.
• Added standalone layouting example using Slint
• Many new configurations are being tested on CI now, in particular, we're running tests against an ASAN
  built Qt and discovered some memory violations which are now fixed.
• KDDW 2.1 is memory leak free now and it's being tested on CI under valgrind.
• Added Config::setLayoutSpacing(int)

KDDockWidgets 2.0.0

Highlights of the 2.0.0 Release

• Architecture rewrite to support more frontends besides QtWidgets and QtQuick.
  2.0 isn't very interesting for users, but will allow developers to make KDDW
  support other GUI frameworks more easily. Also QtQuick is now better integrated,
  without being shoehorned with ifdefs into the QtWidgets implementation.
  • Split into a view/controller architecture
  • Non-gui logic moved to controllers
  • Each controller has a gui counter part, implemented for each supported frontend
• Uses nlohmann JSON library (MIT) instead of QJsonDocument, for saving/restoring layouts
• Added Config::setStartDragDistance()
• Removed Config::setTabbingAllowedFunc() which was already deprecated in favor of Config::setDropIndicatorAllowedFunc()
• Slint and Flutter WIP. Waiting for these frameworks to support multi-window before finishing.

KDDockWidgets 1.7.0

Highlights of the 1.7.0 Release

• Introduce DockWidget::setFloatingWindowFlags(flags). Allows for different
  FloatingWindows to have different window flags. For example, some having
  Qt::Tool while others having Qt::Window (#314).
• Fixed fixed-sized windows being able to be resized on Windows (#345)
• Allow restoring layouts without touching floating dock widgets
• Fix setDropIndicatorsInhibited(false) not showing drop indicators (#334, #337)
• Fix relayouting when dock widget is deleted directly (#336)
• Minor performance improvement: Cache TitleBar icons
• Save side bar overlay geometry when frame is resized
• Fixed case of corrupt layout when using setDockWidgetFactoryFunc()
• Fix layout scaling factor when main window is native
• Fix moving floating windows to negative positions (#321)
• Fixed using normal geometry of platform window if fractional scaling is enabled
• Allow to specify Qt::Tool or Qt::Window per floating window
