(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 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 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.

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.

(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 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. + * Fixed a bug where the desktop work area (the area excluding panels) + wasn't being taken into consideration when positioning notifications. + * Fixed several crash bugs. + +version 0.3.1: + * 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): + * Depends on libsexy for the URL label. + +version 0.2.2 (10-August-2005): + * Fixed several run-time issues on PPC and AMD64 (Martin Pitt) + * Notifications that are created at the same time will disappear at + the same time. + * Notifications that don't expire until the user clicks on them will + no longer block notifications that do expire. + +version 0.2.1 (28-July-2005): + * Fixed hint support for D-BUS 0.3x. + * Fixed a compile issue with GCC 4.0. + +version 0.2.0 (28-July-2005): + * Initial public release. |
