+version 0.4.0 (20-November-2008):

+ * Bumped up the required minimum version of GTK+ to 2.10.0.

+ * Bump the notification spec version we're compliant with to 1.0.

+ * Send the reason code along with the NotificationClosed signal in order

+ to indicate why the notification was closed. (Bug #137)

+ * Send an error if the user attempts to close an already closed

+ notification.

+ * Text is now escaped in the summary in the Standard theme so that

+ ampersands and other special characters show up instead of disappearing.

+ (Bug #132)

+ * Set the type hint for notifications to TYPE_NOTIFICATION. (Bug #146)

+ * Added support for playing sounds when the "sound-file" hint is set or

+ when the default_sound MateConf key is set, as well as support for the

+ "suppress-sound" hint. Patch by Jim Ramsay. (Ticket #111)

+ * Added a control panel applet for controlling such things as the

+ notification theme and popup positions. Patch by John Wendell.

+ (Ticket #126)

+ * Added better support for attaching context notifications to an icon on

+ the system tray, even when it moves. Patch by Colin Walters.

+ * Added an Arabic translation. Patch by Djihed Afifi. (Ticket #131)

+ * Added an Italian translation. Patch by Luca Ferretti.

+ * Fixed a bug where text would sometimes get truncated. (Ticket #162)

+ * Fixed a bug where notifications weren't displayed if a fullscreen

+ window was minimized. (Bug #142)

+ * Fixed a bug where we were quitting on theme engine failure, instead of

+ falling back to the default theme engine. Patch by

+ driehuis-at-playbeing.org. (Ticket #128)

+ * Fixed a bug where notifications with arrows were crossing the monitor

+ on multihead setups instead of staying on their head. Patch by M.S.

+ (Bug #5)

+ * Fixed the close button size on the notifications so that they don't

+ stretch. Patch by Luca Cavelli. (Bug #127)

+ * Fixed a crash when an unsupported value type was passed in for the

+ urgency when using the standard theme. (Bug #135)

+

+version 0.3.7 (27-February-2007):

+ * Fixed a compatibility issue with dbus-glib 0.72. Patch by Pawel Worach.

+ (Bug #95)

+ * The background of the window in the standard theme is now just slightly

+ transparent when compiled against GTK+ 2.10 and when using a composite

+ manager. Patch by Matt Walton. (Ticket #110)

+ * Fix several rendering glitches with the borders in the standard theme.

+ * Fix a memory leak when removing a notification. Patch by Sven Wegener.

+ (Bug #105).

+ * Added initial accessibility support with the standard theme engine.

+ * Clicking anywhere in a notification should now close the notification.

+ This was happening only on the body text sometimes.

+

+version 0.3.6 (8-October-2006):

+ * Added a MateConf key to allow users to specify which corner of the screen

+ notifications should appear in. Patch by M.S. (Ticket #57)

+ * Added a Dutch translation from Wouter Bolsterlee. (Bug #55)

+ * Fixed compatibility problems with D-BUS v0.61. (Bugs #67, #75)

+ * A notification's timeout will now pause while the mouse is hovering over

+ the notification. This allows users to respond to notifications without

+ it suddenly disappearing before the user clicks. (Ticket #73)

+ * Fixed a crash under some icon themes where the base size of an icon

+ was being returned as 0. (Bug #61)

+ * Fixed an assertion failure under newer versions of GTK+ during a

+ notification's destruction. Patch by Ed Catmur. (Bug #77)

+ * Fixed type validation for raw icon data. Patch by Ed Catmur.

+ (Bugs #75, #67)

+ * Fixed a problem where a replaces_id that points to a non-existant

+ notification would cause a broken notification where timeouts and

+ action invoking fails. In this case, a new ID is generated. Patch by

+ Ed Catmur. (Bug #76)

+ * Fixed a memory leak that occurred every time a notification went away.

+ Patch by Nick Schermer.

+

+version 0.3.5 (26-April-2006):

+ * Add three new required theme functions:

+ - theme_check_init - determines if the theme is compatible with the

+ running version of notification-daemon.

+ - get_theme_info - returns info on the theme.

+ - clear_notification_actions - Clears the notification action buttons

+ on the window.

+ * Disabled the Bubble theme for this release. It's the source of too

+ many bugs.

+ * Fix the scaling of different icon sizes. Now small icons display as

+ small, and larger icons are scaled down to 48x48.

+ * Fixed a problem where icons were being clipped in notifications.

+ Patch by M.S. (Bug #21)

+ * Fixed incorrect usage of GtkIconTheme. (Bug #38)

+ * Fixed notifications with a timeout of 2147484ms or longer expiring

+ in less than a second. (Bug #22)

+ * Fixed a bug where a notification would duplicate its actions when

+ updated. (Bug #30)

+ * The Standard theme's countdown timer is now rendered using Cairo when

+ compiled against Gtk 2.8.0 or higher. This improves the timer by making

+ it antialiased.

+ * Renamed notification-daemon.service to

+ org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.

+

+version 0.3.4 (4-February-2006):

+ * Added a Close button to notifications. This closed ticket #8. Thanks

+ to Michael Vogt for the basis of this patch.

+ * Fixed a few bugs (including crashes) involving the freeing of

+ memory when notifications and theme enginers are destroyed.

+ * Fixed the theme engines to be installed as unversioned libraries.

+ Thanks to Rodney Dawes for this patch.

+ * Fixed a bug where the notification window was not realized, causing

+ a crash. This fixes bug #10.

+ * Fixed a crash in the Bubble theme when clicking an action.

+ * Fixed action ordering in the Bubble theme.

+ * Made the destroy_notification, show_notification, hide_notification,

+ and set_notification_hints theme engine functions optional.

+ * Added set_notification_timeout and notification_tick theme engine

+ functions.

+ * Made several improvements to the Standard theme:

+ - The left-hand color stripe has been made smaller and now reflects

+ the urgency level set.

+ - Added a pie-based countdown timer for notifications containing

+ actions. This allows the user to see how long they have to react to

+ a notification.

+ - Converted the action links into buttons. These are now left-aligned

+ and make a reasonable attempt to find an appropriate stock icon.

+ - Allow the notification to be very short when no icons, body text or

+ actions are specified.

+

+version 0.3.3 (25-January-2006):

+ * Install and check for engines in

+ $(libdir)/notification-daemon-1.0/engines, as opposed to

+ $(libdir)/notification-daemon/engines.

+ * Notifications no longer appear over full screen windows or

+ screensavers.

+ * When using icontheme icons, the icon with a size closest to 48x48

+ is used. If the icon is smaller than 48x48, the icon is left unscaled,

+ but if it's larger, it's scaled down.

+

+version 0.3.2 (23-January-2006):

+ * Renamed the program back to notification-daemon.

+ * Reverted the default look back to the notification-daemon 0.2.x look,

+ but with improvements, such as flexible arrow positioning and cleaner

+ action separators.

+ * Updated to match the notification spec correctly.

+ * Added the beginnings of theme support. The look from

+ notification-daemon v0.3.1 can be set in a MateConf key, though it is

+ not yet fully functional.

+ * Added back action support.

+ * Added back support for D-BUS 0.36 and higher.

+ * Added back the GetCapabilities and GetServerInformation calls.

+ * Added back suppor for markup and hyperlinks in the new theme.

+ * Fix several cases of C99 usage, and other compiler problems.

+ wasn't being taken into consideration when positioning notifications.

+ * Fixed several crash bugs.

+

+ * First release of the notify daemon which supports the new 0.3.x protocol

+ * Users of the older notification-daemon must make sure they uninstall it

+ as it will try to catch messages ment for the notify-daemon

+

+version 0.2.4 (6-November-2005):

+ * Support clicking on hyperlinks.

+

+version 0.2.3 (6-November-2005):

+ no longer block notifications that do expire.

+
