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!
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.

If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any
history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow"
argument.
