LXPanel 0.4 + menu-cache 0.2.4 are released!

Post by PCMan »

Hi all,
Here comes the latest release of LXPanel - version 0.4.

First I'd like to say sorry because this is not a bug-free release.
Some existing problems are not completely solved yet, but most of the bugs causing crashes were fixed.
However, we feel it's right time to have a new release.
The menu-cache library is now stable enough for extensive use in LXDE.
This will give us a enhanced and faster application menu and lxlauncher.
Later, the lib will be used by pcmanfm, too.

The new features and some important bug fixes really deserves a new release of lxpanel.
So here comes version 0.4.

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil ... _id=180858

To use LXPanel 0.4, you'll also need following packages:
* menu-cache (lib used to parse freedesktop.org menu file and generate menu)
* lxmenu-data (data files used to generate application menu)

What's new:
* A whole new application menu generated according to freedesktop.org menu spec.
(faster and more standard-compliant. has tooltips for menu items)
* Enhanced "Run" dialog.
* Auto-resize of application launcher buttons when panel size gets changed.
* Some important critical bug fixes.
* The problematic netstat plugin is now turned off by default. It will be moved to a separate project later.
* Building dynamic panel plugins outside the source tree of lxpanel is now possible.
* and more...

Some bugs are not yet fixed and we know that. We'll do our best to fixed them later.
