Full Changelog: v74...v75

v74

What's Changed

• New in Translations:
  • German by Atalanttore
  • Spanish by gallegonovato
  • Chinese (Traditional) by hugoalh
• New in Code:
  • Swipes on the Timeline switcher work better

  • New DBus interface added so the switcher can be controlled through the DBus, e.g., from the command line
  • Now saving and restoring the preferences window size
  • More robust swiping in general by disallowing keyboard interaction during swipes
  • Can use the Blur my Shell extension to apply effects (blur, etc.) to the switcher background. Thanks @ppoffice and @aunetx!!!

Full Changelog: v73...v74

v73

What's Changed

• Mouse scrolling now fractionally progresses through the windows instead of jumping two or more windows at the slightest scroll. I think it behaves better; maybe need an option for how sensitive the scroll is.
• Made the mouse-over highlight color a user setting.

Full Changelog: v72...v73

v72: GNOME 46

What's Changed

• Support for GNOME 46.

GNOME Version Support

Since I use Arch linux and its GNOME versions lag behind other distributions', I will simultaneously maintain, at least until Arch gets 46, two branches of the code, one for 45 and one for 46. I will develop 46 in the master branch and back-port changes to a branch created from tag v71, gnome-45. This will only affect people who install from source as I will upload the 45 and 46 versions as appropriate to the GNOME extensions website.

Full Changelog: v71...v72

v71: Weblate FTW!

What's Changed

• Smoother drawing of effect property changes of the application switcher.
• Improved timeline switcher animations of the fading in and out of the last and first previews in the stack.
• Replaced deprecated add/remove_actor calls with add/remove_child calls in anticipation of GNOME 46.
• Started using Weblate to facilitate translations.
• New Norwegian Bokmål translation from @comradekingu.
• Updated Spanish translation by gallegonovato.
• Updated French translation by ButterflyOfFire.
• Updated Polish translation by @gnu-ewm.
• Updated Portuguese (Brazil) translation by @IagoEmanuel15.

Thanks

While I appreciate any contribution (especially cash), since I am monolingual, I especially appreciate help with translations. Thanks go to @comradekingu, gallegonovato, ButterflyOfFire, @gnu-ewm, and @IagoEmanuel15 for using Weblate to contribute translations!!!

Full Changelog: v70...v71

v70: Happy Holidays!

What's Changed

• Ignore built files by @QuentiumYT in #211

• Allow attached icons in any mode as an option, not just on app switcher.

• Broke up app switcher tint color into a color and a blend setting
  instead of a color with alpha.

• Saved background color in a setting so it can be used in prefs.js to set
  the tint color.

• Just one size for attached and overlay icons instead of sizes for each.

• Maybe better placement of coverflow side previews when
  preview_to_monitor_ratio gets small. Scale the distance from the
  middle preview based on it.

• Listen for gnome-shell theme changes and update the background
  color setting to match the new theme.

• Reorganized preferences. Fixed some subtle bugs.

• Some code cleanup.

• Added github and paypal to preferences donation page.

• Added some logic to get attached icons to fade in / out correctly in timeline switcher.

• Minor fix for overlay icon going behind previews in timeline switcher.
