kupfer v205 and v206
--------------------

Not Released Yet

These are changes since the v205 release. See also the changelog below for
all the features introduced in v205.

* *Thunderbird* fix double create email windows (:lp:`747198`)
* Use ``rst2man`` as it was configured (:lp:`747500`)
* Reduce long-term memory use for icons substantially
* Prefer gnomekeyring over kwallet, and don't load keyring support if it is
  not requested by a plugin (:lp:`747864`)
* Make the "folder" icon take precedence over "inode/directory"
* Fix a regression in *Go To* that would not focus minimized windows.
* Fix :lp:`671105`: the user's home is aliased as Home Folder and the
  lookalike application is hidden.
* Use GTK+ as default icon set, the ASCII icon set remains as a plugin
* Fix regression :lp:`749824`, kupfer used a GTK+ 2.20 feature. It should
  now run under GTK+ 2.18 (2.16?). GTK+ 2.20 is recommended and needed for
  full input method support.
* Add quirks for ``.desktop`` files written by wine as reported by a user.
* Make sure the ``Home`` key works in text mode (:lp:`750240`)
* *Rhythmbox* Fix omission of ``.jpg`` extension when searching cover art
  (William Friesen)
* Support xfce4-dict in *Dictionary* plugin (David Schneider)
* Make sure ``kupfer.svg`` can be mimetype-detected (NAKAMURA Yoshitaka)
  (:lp:`750488`)

These are the full change explanations of the v205 release

* Changes to the interface

  + Add a small menu button on the window for explicit access to
    context actions, preferences window, and help.
  + Increase icon size to 128px
  + Always show description field
  + Use an undecorated window with rounded corners
  + Let the frame be slightly transparent if supported
  + Themable colors and properties by using GTK+ styling, see
    ``Documentation/GTKTheming.rst``, and the plugin *Custom Theme* that
    shows how to use custom styles.

* Add context action "Set X as default action for object Y"

  + For example, you can make *Launch Again* default for Terminal, and our
    default configuration uses this setting for two common terminals (GNOME
    and XFCE).

* Updated Kupfer's technical documentation (in ``Documentation/``),
  including the Plugin API reference.

* Implement a preedit widget for input methods, also resolving
  the incompatibility with ibus (David Schneider) (:lp:`696727`)

* Re-implement launching of applications

* Allow the user to configure which terminal program is used.
  Applies to all of *Run in Terminal*, *Open Terminal Here*, for .desktop
  files that specify ``Terminal=true`` etc.

* Implement an "alternatives" mechanism so that plugins can
  register mutually exclusive alternatives. Currently implemented
  are Terminals (see above) and Icon Renderers.

* *Thunar*: Use Thunar 1.2's Copy and Move API.

  + These allow copying and moving anything through thunar, and it will
    show progress dialogs for longer transactions.

* Add *Ascii & Unicode Icon Set* for fun

* Add simple plugin *Quick Image Viewer* to show images in a simple way.

* Add *Send Keys* plugin that can send synthetic keyboard events,
  and prominently can be used for the *Paste to Foreground Window*
  action on text. Requires ``xautomation`` package. (:lp:`621453`)

* *Volumes:* treat mounts as regular folders, so they can be targets for
  file operations.

* *File Actions:* the action *Move to Trash* switches home to the *Trash*
  plugin, the archive actions go to new *Archive Manager* plugin. *Archive
  Manager* also updated to recognize more archive file types, including
  ``.xz``.

* Activate current selection on double-click in the interface.
  (:lp:`700948`)

* Update the preferences window and move the folder configuration to the
  Catalog tab.

* Add ``initialize_plugin`` to the plugin interface.

* The D-Bus interface has been extended with X screen and timestamp-aware
  versions of all methods:

  + ``PresentOnDisplay``, ``PutFilesOnDisplay``, ``PutTextOnDisplay``,
    ``ExecuteFileOnDisplay``  all act like their similarly-named
    predecessors, but take ``$DISPLAY`` and ``$DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID`` as their
    last two arguments.

  + ``kupfer-exec`` activation sends the event timestamp so that focus can
    be carried along correctly even when running ``.kfcom`` files (if
    activated as an application by startup-notification-aware launchers,
    this works with most standard desktop components).

* Internally, change how actions are carried out by allowing the
  action execution context object to be passed down the execution chain
  instead of being a global resource. This also allows plugins to cleanly
  access current environment (event timestamp, current screen etc).

  + Support running kupfer on multiple X screens (:lp:`614796`), use
    the command ``kupfer --relay`` on each additional screen for global
    keyboard shortcut support.

* The *Tracker 0.8* plugin supports version 0.8 and 0.10 alike. Because of
  that and the expected compatibility with one version after this too, it's
  now called *Tracker*.

* The *Favorites* plugin lists *Kupfer Help* and *Kupfer Preferences* by
  default (for new users), so that it's not empty and those items are ranked
  higher.

* In free-text mode, show a character count in the text entry.

* The action *Go To* on applications has changed implementation. It will
  first bring to front all the application's windows on the current
  workspace, and upon the next invocations it will focus the other
  workspaces, in order, if they have windows from the same application.  For
  single-window applications, nothing is changed.

    overview and be oriented.
  * Returning to kupfer after having performed an action, the old object is
    still available, but without locking the catalog to its location.
    When spawning kupfer again, the previous context is available if you
    immediately browse; if you search, you search the whole catalog.
  * The search times out after 2 seconds if no key is typed. Now the highlight
    text will fade to show this.

* Add accelerators `Ctrl+G` and `Ctrl+T` to get current selection in nautilus
  and currently selected text (if available).

  * Access notes, Actions: *Create Note* and *Append to Note...*

* Pressing kupfer's keybinding again will hide the window.
* Other smaller improvements

kupfer version c8
-----------------

* Make the use of the indirect object pane much more fluid
* Apply interface polish (proper english capitalization of actions and
  other objects, other changes)
* Add `Copy To...` action
* Try `xdg-terminal` first in *Open Terminal Here* (non-Gnome users can
  either install `xdg-terminal` or symlink it to their terminal program)
* Allow unbinding the keybinding
* Fix a bug with tracker tags

[Please file bug reports and feature requests.][lp]. Read the files in
`Documentation/` and see how you can add new plugins with object and 
application knowledge to kupfer.

kupfer version c7
-----------------

The "choice" release

This is a followup with some small changes after the c6 release, which
introduced lots of major changes, including a preferences window and
"application content."

* Allow wnck to be optional. Kupfer needs wnck to do application matching
  and focusing of already running applications, but can now run without it if
  wnck is not available. Window List plugin also needs wnck
* Rhythmbox plugin should not crash even if library is not found, now kupfer
  can run even if rhythmbox's files are not there.
* Applications will match names as well as the executables, so that "gedit"
  matches Text Editor regardless of what the displayed localized name is.

kupfer version c6
-----------------

The "Sisyphus incremental improvements" release

* Preferences window
  
  * Allows setting keybinding on the fly
  * List and enable/disable plugins and set plugin options

* Everything was improved slightly, but steadily
* Understands more applications, provides more files and objects,
  and actions with **new plugins:** *Rhythmbox, Abiword, Clipboards, Dictionary,
  Favorites, Selected Text, Wikipedia*
* Connect applications with their related object sources and make it their
  content, such as Rhythmbox music for the Rhythmbox application.

  * Applications contain their recently used documents, if
    available.
  * Firefox and Epiphany bookmarks are identified with each application

* Miscellaneous improvements:

  * Kupfer object icon ("blue box")
  * *Some* default application associations are installed (others
    are learned by launching applications).
  * Experimental UI with two-line title+description in browse mode
  * Thumbnails for files and albums in browse mode
  * Allow sending files and queries to kupfer from the commandline
    using `kupfer 'query'` or `kupfer docs/file.pdf`.
  * Even more plugins listen to change callbacks or filesystem monitors
    to be up to date to the instant.
  * Do not display nonexisting files as results
  * Fine-tune how sources are loaded and refreshed on load

This release deserves lots of testing. [File bug reports and feature
requests.][bug] Read the files in `Documentation/` and see how you can add

Future: part 2 of beautification is refactoring of the interface, so
that the UI can be modularized and exchanged in plugins.

kupfer version c5
-----------------

The "Beauty from the inside, part 1" release

* Big refactorings of the whole data model

  * Move all of the data model to kupfer.data
  * Allow actions with indirect objects "threepane kupfer" (with
    means to configure which objects to use for an action etc)
  * Uses unicode internally, instead of UTF-8-encoded strings

* Some new actions using new possibilities (Open with any, Move file
  to new location, Add/Remove tracker tags) but more is possible.
* Basic manual page included
* Fileactions plugin includes unpack archive/create archive
* Ship extra and demonstration plugins in contrib/ and interals
  documentation in Documentation/
* Change learning algorithm to recognize an item's type as well
  (so that two objects named "project" can be ranked differently)
* Small fixes (alphabethic sorting for applications, sources, check
  if objects still exist after an action, ``rank_adjust`` default actions
  slightly)

This release deserves lots of testing. File bug reports and feature
requests. Read the files in Documentation/ and see how you can add
new plugins with object and application knowledge to kupfer.

Future: part 2 of beautification is refactoring of the interface, so
that the UI can be exchanged. And preferences will hopefully be implemented
