* fix mask calculations for NO COMPOSITING environment
* fix blur for Latte panels when exiting edit mode
* protect LastActiveWindow application data updating in multi-screen environments and dont assign faulty application name and icons to irrelevant last active windows

* fix Indicators positioning when a Tasks is bouncing or requires attention
* x11: smart way to ignore all plasma popups
* wayland: smart way to ignore all plasma popups but first Plasma needs to update its popups flags in order to work correctly
* Support Chromium/Chrome audio channels for Tasks previews and context menu
Version 0.9.9 10 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
* do not double release dock visibility after Meta application launcher triggering [kde#417239]
* improve blur region calculations in general and do not send invalid areas to kwin [kde#417254]
* improve blur area calculations during startup when parabolic effect is disabled [kde#416928]
* show Tasks icon size properly during startup when parabolic effect is disabled
Version 0.9.8 11 months ago
* provide new way to set which application launcher in all docks/panels has the highest priority to trigger with Meta. The one having a global shortcut applied is the one that has the highest priority
* consider plasma panels under x11 environment in order for dock settings window to not overlap with them
* fix which Plasma theme colors are used for all Latte painting mechanisms and make them consistent with Plasma
* Use KDE frameworks official Help Menu
* Provide KDE frameworks official way to set application's language
* add hidden debug option for "--kwinedges"

* drop ksysguard dependency with kde frameworks >=5.62
Version 0.9.4 1 year ago

* update some qt deprecated code
Version 0.9.2 1 year ago
* do not hide contents/icons when qtquick software rendering is used

* send tasks progress information to latte indicators
* latte indicators can offset their icons if they want
* latte indicators can provide different length padding values for applets compared to tasks
* autostart Latte earlier in order to catch up with windows global menu activation. You need to reactivate it in order to work.
* forced solidness for panels has higher priority compared to panel backgrounds in isBusy state
* disable panel shadow if the user has enabled the corresponding option
* do not draw the panel background outline if the plasma default behavior was chosen for popups

Version 0.8.8 1 year ago
* fix: multi-screen, unload properly explicit screen docks when its screen
is not available any more
update to v0.8.7 1 year ago
* 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
Latte was not appearing at all. Problem was tracked down and identified
when ~/.config/latte directory was not created properly. This is fixed now.
update to v0.8.6 1 year ago
* fix previews that broke after kde frameworks 5.55 update
* fix shortcuts behavior for applets when using "Multiple" layouts
update to v0.8.5 1 year ago
* FIX: important improvements for fillWidth(s)/Height(s) applets. Latte now
tries to use plasma panels as an example in order to provide very similar experience
with its Latte panels
* FIX: adjust Latte taskmanager in order to support new Plasma 5.15 Virtual Desktops interface
* improve: splitters positioning during startup for Justify alignment
* improve: --replace option in order to restart Latte properly for all systems
* fix: maximum length ruler behavior for Latte panels

* FIX: do not break applets order in Justify alignment when some of the applets in the layout are not found in the system
* fix: a crash that was related to grouped tasks
* fix: improve launchers synchronization between different docks/panels
update to v0.8.3 2 years 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
update to v0.8.2 2 years ago
* FIX: wrong placement of docks during startup for multi-screen environments
* FIX: show explicit docks automatically when their corresponding screen is added in a multi-screen environment

If you are not interested in becoming a maintainer but still want to contribute a Flatpak, I can also take over the maintainance.

When the dock is set to always visible and I click the "Show Desktop" button on my panel, the dock gets hidden underneath the panel.
It would be great if it stayed on top even in that situation
