Version 0.9.9 3 months ago

* CRITICAL: initialize properly configuration files during startup [kde#417886]
* IMPORTANT: Do not load a Shared Layout as Central when it is already loaded and as such do not mess the MultipleLayouts appearance when a Shared layout should also be used [kde#417886]
* [wayland] do not crash when right clicking Tasks plasmoid [kde#417546]
* update animations speed to support plasma 5.18 new animation speed values

* qt5.14 - release properly the edit mode animation state [kde#412940]

* fix: Show dock properly on first startup. New users where trying Latte but
it was reported that something broke during updates and on first startup

when ~/.config/latte directory was not created properly. This is fixed now.

* fix previews that broke after kde frameworks 5.55 update
* fix shortcuts behavior for applets when using "Multiple" layouts

* fix: improve launchers synchronization between different docks/panels

update to v0.8.3 1 year ago

* FIX: support multi-screen plasmoids that use plasmoid.screenGeometry such as plasma pager, plasma taskmanagers etc. Latte did not update the plasmoid.screenGeometry value properly in previous versions
* FIX: do not crash when moving launchers that are being synced between multiple docks/panels
* FIX: make sure that launchers order between synced docks/panels is always the current one after the user has ended its dragging
* FIX: support fillWidth/Height plasmoids better (such as plasma taskmanagers), now such applets can be added for all alignments including Left/Center/Right
* FIX: do not show the warning message "Your layout file is broken" when the statement is not valid. This check validates that the containments and applets ids are unique in a layout file but the way this was implemented in the past it was returning false results in some cases
