Budgie desktop version 10.10.4 is released, marking the fourth update of the 10.10 branch, transitioned to using the Wayland protocol. Simultaneously, similar releases have been formed for associated components, such as Budgie Desktop View and the set of services Budgie Desktop Services (the update of Budgie Session manager and the interface for system configuration Budgie Control Center is delayed). The project's code is licensed under GPLv2.
Packages for Budgie 10.10.4 are available in Fedora Rawhide.
Budgie er baseret på en panelstruktur, der ligner klassiske skrivebordspaneler. Alle panelens elementer er appletter, hvilket gør det muligt at tilpasse sammensætningen fleksibelt, ændre placeringen og erstatte implementeringerne af de grundlæggende panel-elementer efter eget valg. Blandt de tilgængelige appletter kan nævnes et klassisk programmenu, et system til opgavehåndtering, et område med en liste over åbne vinduer, visning for virtuelle skriveborde, en strømhåndteringsindikator, en lydstyrkeapp, systemstatusindikator og ure.
Blandt ændringerne i den nye version:
- Support for automatic panel hiding has been implemented to provide the full screen space to maximized windows. The implementation of the panel docking mode has also been completely rewritten. After switching to Wayland, due to the lack of information transfer about the exact coordinates and sizes of windows, the old logic for auto-hiding and docking stopped functioning properly and had to be completely redone. The panel no longer reserves space on the screen, but
is placed over other windows, and when hidden, becomes invisible, leaving a 3-pixel area at the edge of the screen for revealing it by hovering the cursor over it. Auto-hiding is disabled when a menu, widgets, or any other pop-up windows from the panel are open.Two modes of automatic panel hiding have been proposed: Automatic and Intelligent, which work based on the state of maximized windows on the screen. In the first case, the panel hides when any window on the current screen is maximized, while in the second case, it only hides when the active window that has input focus is maximized.
When watching video in full screen, if the mouse hovers over the edge of the screen, the panel is displayed over the video but does not activate when starting full-screen games that capture the cursor. If the option to prevent panel hiding is enabled in the settings, the panel remains behind the windows of full-screen applications, but can be forced to the forefront using the Super+T key combination or by pressing the Super key to open the Budgie menu.
- The Raven sidebar has implemented the ability to switch between widgets and notifications using the Super+A and Super+N key combinations.
- Forbedret integration med Labwc-kompositmanageren. Support for genvejstasten "Super+Shift+pil" er genindført for at flytte det aktive vindue til en anden skærm. For vinduer i billed-i-billede-tilstand, som anvendes i "Firefox", er der sikret konstant placering over andre vinduer. Ved at klikke med venstre musetast på skrivebordet skiftes der nu blot fokus til skrivebordet for at forhindre utilsigtet åbning af menuen eller lancering af applikationer, når der bruges en touchpad.
- Tilsæt muligheden for at indstille inaktivitetstid, hvorefter skærmens lysstyrke sænkes. I den grafiske konfigurationsmulighed er denne funktion stadig fraværende, men den kan allerede indstilles i kommandolinjen ("gsettings set com.solus-project.budgie-wm dimming-delay 90")
- Tilføjet parameter til valg af program til skærmlåsning (gtklock og swaylock understøttes), som kun kan ændres i kommandolinjen ("gsettings set org.buddiesofbudgie.budgie-locker locker-choice ‘swaylock' ").
- Implementeret caching af listen over installerede applikationer, der anvendes i menuen, opgavelisten og på autostart-siden. Denne optimering har øget opstartshastigheden for panelet, men har øget forbruget af delt hukommelse med 810 KB.
- For udviklere er der givet mulighed for at bruge kommandoen "meson devenv" til at starte panelet, applets og Raven-sidepanelet direkte fra build-kataloget uden installation i systemet (for eksempel "meson devenv -C build budgie-panel —replace &").
