Hello everyone! I did some work on lxpanel recently. It now uses some libfm functions and therefore some bunch of code was removed and libfm APIs are used for it. Also plugins API was simplified noticeable to make it easy for third party developers to create plugins outside of lxpanel code (yes, it does not require lxpanel code presence anywhere, installed headers of lxpanel are sufficient to create a plugin). Also "pager" plugin which appeared to be buggy recently was replaced with "wnckpager" which now represents both "pager" and "wnckpager" for backward compatibility. New lxpanel is binary backward compatible with old plugins API so can be tested without update of installed plugins if your plugins are recent enough (the src/panel.h header was changed Sun May 19 2013 and some plugins might use it). Also new plugins were added: built-in "launchtaskbar" and external "weather". Everyone are encouraged to test them for any bugs. Version is set now to 0.6.99.0 as it is alpha version - bugs fixing and migration to new APIs will be continued. Cheers! Andriy. |
