In preparation for our upcoming Bodhi 5.1 release, I have placed
Moksha 3.1 in our testing repo. There have been many changes over
350 commits.
Most of these changes will be transparent to the end user, such as security fixes, code clean up and the like. But there are some minor improvements noticeable to the end user. Just a select few:
In Moksha 3.1 whenever you change Moskha's theme it attempts to find a matching elementary theme and change that also. Many but not all of our themes also have a matching elementary theme.
Our clipboard module has many changes: a revamped settings panel, the clipboard history can now be saved on a timer instead of saved every change. Behind the scenes code changes include being changed to event driven as opposed to poll driven. And so on.
The places module now supports gtk3 bookmarks (like the ones pcmanfm uses) as well as now having better support for being placed on a shelf.
The ibar module now supports the FreeDesktop .desktop Additional Actions menu. Practically this means things like being able to right click a firefox icon in the ibar gadget and open a new private window of firefox.
And an option to change the background to a solid color instead of an image. Over the years we been asked how to do that a number of times and the usual answer has been to create a solid color image and set it to that. There is a better way of doing that and now that is available to the end user and part of Moksha.
This is by no means the complete change log. Nor all the changes the end user may note. I plan to post a more comprehensive change log upon release. From this point on I plan only one semi-major change before release and perhaps a few minor changes.
For now I need some users to install and test Moksha 3.1 that I added to our testing repo. Any issues, bugs or problems please inform us. I would especially be interested in any new bugs not present in Moksha 3.0. So far it has been only Štefan and I testing it and using it, altho Jeff has been using 3.1 the last week or so.
If you note any issues contact me, post here or on github, or tell me in Discord, email, facebook message ... Just please let me know. Over 350 commit is alot of changes and while I have tried not to introduce any new bugs, Moksha has so many possible settings it is not practical to test everything.
Much thanks to Štefan for his help in all this work, his commits to the code and especially his willingness to use and test all the changes we have made.
