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.
