Major user-visible changes are the new vertically centered positioning of bubbles, the initial fade-prevention (if bubble opens with mouse-pointer over it), tweaked fade-out opacity and updated body-text height.

ChangeLog:

• updated sizing-factor of body-text height to be 0.9 EMs (of system-wide setting) according to body-text spec
• implemented fade-prevention when bubble is opened while mouse-pointer is over it/within proximity-fade area
• fade-out value now set to 40% as stated in interaction spec
• added support for automake-1.11’s slient output
• added valgrind make-rule
• experiment with centering bubbles vertically, sync. bubble always goes above center-line, async. one always below it
• ensure GErrors are correctly freed

Good lord, are you really that afraid Apple? Check this this bug-entry.

Here comes the “spam-protection” release 0.9.18 of notify-osd:

notify-osd 0.9.18

ChangeLog:

• code-clean by extracting fallback-dialog from class Bubble
• fixes for i18n unit-tests
• enforce notification-spam protection (part of backlog-feature work), max. 50 allowed in queue
• Python-examples now get included in generated dist. tarball

This is a rather unspectacular release, as most time of this week was spent on app-integration patches, and not notify-osd itself. But a new week, a new release:

notify-osd 0.9.17

ChangeLog:

• added timings-object in preparation for coming “animations and durations” work
• patch from Eitan Isaacson fixing LP: #409810
• patch from Aurélien Gateau extending text-filtering to handle newlines and some HTML-tags

With all the busy schedule of the just closing sprint week in Dublin, Ireland I forgot to blog about the latest tarball-release of notify-osd 0.9.16. So “only” four days late I present you:

ChangeLog (only major changes):

• further preparation for refactoring of class Bubble and Stack
• mem-leak fixes and fix for LP: #378193 by Alexander Sack
• much code-refactoring
• adapted to 0.10 fd.o spec
• lots of autotools-related fixes and improvements
• added ATK interface by Eitan Isaacson
• fix by Chow Loong Jin for LP: #401809
• added support for image_data and image_path

There’s still some way to go for notify-osd until Karmic hits release, so don’t worry the next changes will be more interesting for users.
