What's New in This Launch : [ go through full changelog ]
· It took us more than four months and a lot more than 1400 commits to make this launch occur, but it is really worth it: we've applied fairly a handful of new delicious attributes, some of them staying requested for very a lengthy time, and we've also set a entire bunch of items, from little annoying artifacts to nasty crashes. Additionally, this is the very first release below the new Enhance Software License.
World-wide modifications :
· Initial of all, we've finally included many home windows assistance to LeechCraft, so now you can have all your IM chats in one particular window and net internet pages in an additional a single. LeechCraft has an choice to open each and every tab course in its personal window automatically, so it will toss private chats in one window, conferences in an additional one particular and, say, paperwork opened in Monocle into third 1. Additionally, this characteristic is quite valuable for people getting several displays : one can put a lengthy post to examine or documentation internet pages on 1 keep track of and depart primary LeechCraft window on a different one.
· Plugins also support this new multiple home windows characteristic. For illustration, SB2 will retain diverse configurations like panel placement and quarks list for every window.
· The several home windows feature is still extremely experimental and may guide to segfaults. Please report any problems with it!
· Dock widgets management was enhanced noticeably. Now only one dock can be seen at a time on just about every facet of just about every LeechCraft window, and the dock windows are toggled by way of the corresponding toolbars or SB2 if it is offered.
· Plugins with the most enhancements are, as usually, Azoth, the IM client, LMP, the media participant, Monocle, the document reader, and SB2, the subsequent - technology sidebar plugin.
Azoth:
· Azoth IM shopper grew to become additional keyboard- helpful with shortcuts for showing fast navigation checklist with present MUC participants or contacts from the whole roster, or for opening final detected website link in a chat. It also will save regardless of whether formatted messages are enabled for separate contacts now, so you can have formatting disabled Azoth- wide and enabled for different contacts only, so up coming time chat tabs with people contacts are opened, Azoth will mechanically empower formatted messages. It is much more rapidly and secure now as well.

ChatHistory module masses history way more quickly now. Modnok, the LaTeX renderer, supports settings tailor made qualifications hues and disabling antialiasing. Xoox, the XMPP assist plugin, obtained most fixes: it now supports correctly altering account password, forwards XHTML-IM message entire body in Advertisement -Hoc commands and exposes TLS configurations. It also has an solution for turning off requests for VCards and variations in MUCs, considerably decreasing site visitors usage and server load in conferences.
· And excellent information for some end users of protocols at this time not supported by Azoth: work on a new plugin, VelvetBird, has been started. VelvetBird is essentially a wrapper all around libpurple adding guidance for protocols supported by it to Azoth. It is in its really early phases now, some vitally crucial capabilities are even now missing ( operating with authorization/ membership, for instance, is still relatively experimental), but some LeechCraft end users currently use it as properly and are normally content with it.
LMP:
· LMP, the audio player for LeechCraft, has been enhanced a ton as effectively. It now has a appropriate album artwork supervisor, supports displaying artist browser from a bunch of a variety of areas, supports previewing whole albums from websites like VKontakte (if discography if readily available by way of plugins like LastFMScrobble and MusicZombie).
· LMP also has got a new subplugin, LMP Graffiti, which enables one particular to tag audio documents, split CUE information into different tracks and receive tags for documents from expert services like MusicBrainz through audio fingerprinting (if corresponding plugins are installed ).
Monocle:
Monocle document reader now supports a bunch of new points :
· site thumbnails (with visually highlighting the at this time exhibiting place )
· bookmarks
· types for PDF documents
· text seeking.
· Monocle also enables hunting for picked textual content through textual content searchers like Pogooglue or SeekThru OpenSearch client.
· A whole lot of habits troubles ( mostly maintaining point out amongst Monocle launches) were fastened as very well. Monocle FXB, the fb2 structure plugin, has been optimized two-fold on a normal fb2 e-book.
SB2:
· SB2 now supports inserting the panel in any window aspect, not only remaining 1. It also supports getting rid of and reordering quarks now, and the quarks can have configurations as well.
· Panel placement tastes, as effectively as quark list, buy and quark options can be various for unique home windows.
Other plugins:
· Blogique, the blog site consumer, now supports such attributes as autosaving, tab unclosing and session administration with the TabSessManager plugin or demonstrating new feedback and inbox messages. It also supports preserving a nearby website now.
· GActs, the module for supporting global shortcuts, now bundles a patched copy of needed Qxt documents with it. The patches incorporate support for assigning media keys to world wide shortcuts, a factor that upstream Qxt misses (and looks to not settle for the proposed patch for numerous several years already ). GActs nonetheless supports constructing with technique Qxt as an alternative of bundled just one, but in this situation one misses this media keys characteristic.
· Launchy module now supports favorites group exactly where applications and LeechCraft tabs can be added. Favorites will be demonstrated in rapid start region in SB2, if the corresponding quark is enabled.
· Launchy now also supports keyboard navigation as nicely as filtering the listing of apps by title, description or identify of the executable.
· NetStoreManager module ( liable for cloud storages assistance ) was reworked very a little bit. For case in point, there have been various stability improvements and more mature tree- centered interface was replaced by a additional Total Commander-like point.

· Vrooby module now supports UDisks2 and supports developing with many backends at as soon as, trying them in order at operate time.
Numerous old and unsupported plugins had been eliminated, among them:
· EiskaltDC++, the DirectConnect- shopper.
· LCFTP, the FTP customer.
· TransparentArch, stub for effortless accessibility to archives contents.

· Tab++, currently being replaced by TabsList and SB2.
· These plugins were being extracted into individual repositories, preserving all the revisions that relate to them in scenario somebody would just take them more than.
· And now we are even closer to obtaining a performing LeechCraft set up on Windows. For that, we experienced to migrate to the MinGW toolchain, due to the fact MSVS' assist for C++ eleven common is quite crappy but.
