- Rename some of the classes:
NotificationServer -> Server (there's namespaces, you know)
NotificationModel -> NotificationsModel (so it's plural like JobsModel)
- Introduce NotificationGroupingCollapse
- Wire up PulseAudio-qt for eventual notification silence in dnd mode
- Touch up notification looks
- Add indentation and "line" for grouped plasmoids
- Rethink "show more" button to be at the end
- Fix buttons overlapping
- Remove NotificationDelegate item and do those few adjustments in FullRepresentation
- Cleanup job details, handle when processed > total
- Use States {} more
- Show low urgency popups by default but don't add them to history
Our dear friend Notification plasmoid has slipped the surly bonds of Earth
to touch the face of eternal preservation in Git history. It leaves a huge
emptiness in the hearts of all of us who loved it, many who here its friends.
Originally concveived in 2011 as a "New QML based notifications plasmoid
for mobile", it quickly outgrew its creator's vision and became a vital
component of the Plasma Desktop. When the new kid on the block arrived in
the form of Plasma 5, it showed its willpower to survive this stark transition
and served us for another half a decade. It taught us to seize every
opportunity to increase productivity and improve user experience,
yet it became evident that it reached its limits and so on April Fools' Day 2019
its heart beat for the last time.
Farewell!
- Old dataengine is fully functional now
Except the inhibition stuff but I'm not sure if this is worth keeping the way it is
- "More" menu opens on press now and highlights
- Invoking any action closes the notification now
KNotification explicitly does that for us but e.g. GTK does not
- Add clear button for history
- Restore kbroadcastnotification support
- Allow forgetting seen application (for KCM)
- Let users "create" notifications by calling NotificationServer::add
- When no application name is provided look up the sender's process name as last resort
- Add kdebugsettings categories file
- Improve compact reprsentation
- Keep popup open during interaction (context menu, drag)
- Improve "ago" label (e.g. show "Last Sunday")
- Improve group visuals (still pretty much WIP)
- Hide popups when interacted (opened file, triggered file action, etc)
Closing when having invoked an action isn't implemented yet but is probably neccessary
- Make autohide job popup setting work
- Set critical AlwaysOnTop (requires KWin patch)
- Improve error handling in ThumbnailStrip
Show file icon if thumbnail generation failed instead of a blank space
- Add heuristic for popup placement and make custom setting work
- Add deviceName and displayApplicationName (for KDE Connect)
So it can show from which device and which app this notification originally came from
- Improved service discovery (and defaultComponent handling)
Quite a few notifications, e.g. DrKonqi crashes are in plasma_workspace.notifyrc
When we get an event like this, show the original app instead
- Make blacklist for popup and history work
- Add "lastRead" property for "unread" handling vs "expired" (latter likely to be dropped)
- Add sortMode so history is strictly sorted by date (it's grouped after all)
- Begin work on do not disturb UI in plasmoid
- Support replacing notifications properly
- Now that we have nice models we can finally do the replacing in the way the spec
asks for "atomically (ie with no flicker or other visual cues)"
- Catch some more cases in notification details text (trash:/ stuff)
- Prefer notifyrc name over desktop entry name in case a service within another app sends
an event (e.g. Discover notifier in Plasma, KNotification automatically sends desktop-entry
of the parent app)
- Implement x-kde-urls thumbnailer with drag and drop and fancy blur
Originally intended to be able to show multiple files but in practise only used for
single pictures, so the code is significantly simplified for that usecase
- Add "Open" feature for finished job notification, offers a context menu as well with
all the KFileItemActions (component from the Thumbnailer)
- Copy description labels to clipboard
Once menu opens the update is paused so the text you copy is what you see
- Fixup sanitizer so we can properly collapse notifications without body text
... and more
libnotificationmanager provides a proper notification model situation similar
to libtaskmanager. There is also a new notification applet implementing the
suggestions and VDG mockups in the wiki
NOTE: the notification dataengine is defunct in this branch, so while the applet
(for now) installs as "new notifications", the old applet will stop working when
you use this. The dataengine will eventually be restored (famous last words)
for compatibility but using the NotificationServer singleton introduced in
libnotificationmanager.
The applet can show notifications, they expire, can be closed, and their
default action invoked. Still heavily WIP and API subject to change.

Rather than showing the generic calendar icon the day number is shown there instead.
There is also an option to have it show the week number instead.
