New in Cinnamon 3.6.5 (Nov 21, 2017)

New in Cinnamon 3.4.6 (Aug 12, 2017)

New in Cinnamon 3.4.4 (Jul 7, 2017)

New in Cinnamon 3.4.1 (May 24, 2017)

Remove usage of GTK_POLICY_EXTERNAL
checkBox.js: remove extra unused argument which was causing a warning with new cjs/mozjs
st-bin.c: Fix y_fill setter (it was setting x_fill to the value of the existing y_fill, before it is set in the same call).
menu applet: fix keyboard navigation of recent context menu. Fix closing of same menu when switching to another category. Also fix closing when opening another recent's context menu.
menu applet: notify when a recent file is activated that can't be accessed.
menu applet: make missing file notification transient.
menu applet (vector box): partially revert c0d37dd79d68c97 - there is flickering as events go from a button to the vector box and back. Remove the idle callback, and directly react to the enter even once more. To compensate, increase our maybeUpdateVectorBox delay timeout, which more or less fixes the original problem the above commit was attempting to fix.
menu applet: _select_category - only call displayButtons if the category has really changed.
menu applet: fix keyboard navigation when a second recent context menu is toggled open.
Sound settings: Fix device icons
xlet-settings.py: ignore files and directories in the config directory that aren't created by our settings api as well as instances that no longer exist
ExtensionCore.py: Don't scrub the config directory on load. This is no longer necessary since xlet settings now ignores anything that isn't an active instance, and some applets need a place to store extra files so they get cleaned up on uninstall.
cs_panel.py: Fix crash when there are no panels
sound-applet: remove extraneous arguments on add_actor calls
radioButton.js: remove extra argument to add_actor.
window-list-applet: fix undefined reference warning
[cinnamon-json-makepot] Added support to extract "title" and "units" keys on list elements
debian/control: use correct runtime dependency on caribou introspection only.
User applet: Remove ability to switch to guest with LightDM
runDialog.js: Fix undefined variable warning (#6539)
Reorganize the default applets in the panel
User applet: Remove trailing spaces
Applets: Make TextIconApplet smarter and adapt to vertical panels.
menu applet: use _select_category to select recents and places, so we can cache the current selection more accurately and prevent needless calls to _displayButtons.
window list: add missing dependency to settings (#6551)

New in Cinnamon 3.4.0 (May 4, 2017)

Fix gnome terminal losing desktop file association during cinnamon restart
cinnamon-json-makepot: Added support to scan for JS files inside sub-dirs.
Start systray applet first
Use generic marshaller
Fix file permissions
Pull functions out of loops in _refreshPlaces, _refreshApps...
Move uri assignment in _refreshRecent's while loop into new...
Use let instead of var in new handler functions
panel: rework allocation logic to avoid looping in edit mode this was causing the context menu animation to fail to complete causing the user not to be able to exit edit mode
theme-node: Fix leak on stylesheet change. From upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/72bfa9125945919e9d69505d3e739480855f331e
cinnamon_dbus_acquire_name: don't leak the result from upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/3f0fbae7e213b2fbe7267b9d25ac7fcfaa8afcff
cinnamon_dbus_acquire_name: Don't leak error from upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/7f1a258ff9fc768a7fc13e5c37e1fd6d7ab5c33b
keyboard: destroy the key's boxpointer from upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/9d933356e171a1dc49b61b5864826531c0f24d97
Fix hotcorner hover delay timeout removal This fixes a "Invalid or null source id used when attempting to run Mainloop.source_remove()" when leaving a hotcorner. The timeout is already destroyed by returning false in the callback, but we still knew about the timeout id and tried to remove the non-existing timeout.
st-box-layout: Don't report a paint volume when we have no allocation from upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/aa6f352cb06d3ae8940af323f048c8c7886fa0cd
window-tracker: fix memory leak from upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/ac22172a6ec37a158ca4cecf8c18f8fb29c1aa97
tooltips.js: Remove leftover logging.
Add cinnamon-stap-monitor utility.
panel.js: Couple fixes to previous commit. Let the panel sections cover the entire panel in edit mode. Clean up _allocate a bit - since we always have the center zone occupied (artificially or naturally,) we don't ever need to handle cases where it isn't.
panel.js: Fix dnd pseudo-class style application for vertical panels.
panel: Allow right and left panel zones to naturally fill space. Fix vertical allocate calculations in st-box-layout (align_end was only working for horizontal box layouts).
panel.js: Cleanup actor and style class names, simplify some code that no longer needs to differentiate between vertical and horizontal panels.
cs_screensaver.py: Expose setting for floating widgets.
panel.js: restore 'important' style flag, accidentally removed from panel zones.
expoThumbnail.js: Don't reposition thumbnails on position-changed.
cs_screensaver.py: Use a stack to switch between default screensaver and plugin previews.
panel.js: Restore some allocation code mistakenly removed in a previous commit. This restores the behavior of allowing left/right panels to occupy more than half the panel if the center zone is empty.
[Sound applet] Fix a segmentation This fixes a segmentation fault that happened when menu animations were disabled. Fixes #5977
cinnamon-desktop-editor: use the default icon when file is nonexistent
st-theme-node.c: rename a confusing variable At the moment we have an outer loop on i, and then a separately declared internal loop on i This changes the name of the variable in the internal loop to avoid confusion
st-theme-node: Improve error reporting from upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/1d235395765226a981fd31f16adae505ad8642de#diff-ea7efd941b083a785ba5e4b928a26d59
St: support css margin property From upstream https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/2935fd4ffe9176d28f68192bb34bdba1a0e57a2b and https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/216e996f6680a3ffb797caafe1ed29990360c8f1

User applet: Remove inaccurate comment - This is not actually the shutdown applet by Shelly
windowManager: Move handling of workspace switch effects to one place
window-list: Don't lose our focus style class when opening the context menu
Settings widgets range: Add an optional argument to show the current value of on the scale widget. This was originally the way it worked in the xlet settings, but with the rework, that functionality wasn't reimplemented. This rendered the settings of several applets less usefull. This pull request reimplements the functionality for applets and also makes it available for cinnamon settings as well.
Show desktop applet: fix preview being stuck by keyboard-triggered menu open
settings.js: Rebuild the settings file if it becomes corrupted. If the settings have already been loaded, we use the latest version we have, otherwise we restore from defaults.

added support to manage the systemd services available on the system
cs_startup.py: Add a "Run now" button for when a row is selected.
Make sure applets that don't support vertical panels don't get droped on a vertical panel. This was happening with at least some applets, causing them to 'disappear', and could only be recovered by removing them from applet settings and readding them again.
cinnamon-settings: Fix some sliders being drawn backwards
settings.js: Handle corrupt settings the right way. Fixes several issues with the previous implementation.
xlet settings: add list widget
[Xlet settings] Fix reference to new option added to wrong element

menu applet, overrides.js: fix some loss in effectiveness of our vectorbox caused by feacb693f529bd7db2.

Revamp the xlet settings: - xlet settings now open in their own window/process - matches new style of cinnamon settings - now supports pages and sections in the settings file - instances are now automatically highlighted in the panel when the instance is selected in the settings window (uses a new 'highlight' pseudoclass) - uses the new JSON backend for easier maintenance and simplification of the code - added support for backendable widgets which were not previously available to the xlet settings api - updated for newer Gtk versions - added a new configure function to applets and desklets
Udate some of the applets and desklet to use the new settings api

Correct drag and drop bugs in panel launcher 1) an issue that looks to have been there before the vertical panels change where drag and drop within the panel launcher would drop icons in unscaled rather than at the same scale as the other icons 2) a vertical panels issue where the drag and drop code was assuming horizontal orientation and so was calculating both the position in the list of icons and the new position in the actor incorrectly 3) took the opportunity to correct a number of minor indentation issues
correct window list internal drag and drop for vertical panels 1) The override on the allowable drag direction was not set to allow vertical dragging also previous override needed clearing when orientation changed 2) Removed a few stray tabs etc. 3) Calculated the drop position correctly for vertical panels

keyboard applet: restore upper-case option, fix regression from xlet settings revamp.
[ brownsr ]
workspace switcher - change whether graph is shown or not At the moment the graph is suppressed in vertical panels because a long wide workspace resulting from multiple monitors results in an unworkable graph when scaled to fit the panel width. Change this to test on the workspace size ratio, as this will permit single monitor setups to have the workspace graph
add vertical style class to workspace switcher No code is needed to remove it as buttons are rebuilt from scratch when panels are moved between orientations. Linked to a change to improve appearance of this applet in vertical panels in Mint-X themes
[ NikoKrause ]
[menu-applet] decodeUriComponent in placesManager.js and docInfo.js
[ brownsr ]
refactor if sequence to case statement, and sort alignment
[ NikoKrause ]
added PopupSwitchIconMenuItem and used it in sound-applet
[ Michael Webster ]
cinnamon-settings: On widgets that don't use bind functions, connect to the widget changed handlers only after setting their initial value. This prevents on_settings_changed() from being triggered right away, as well as a subsequent trigger of the widget changed handler (for a second time.)
[ brownsr ]
make accessibility applet suitable for vertical panels The issue is that sticky keys make use of the applet label to display and this is not compatible with a vertical panel. Resolve this by re-purposing the applet tooltip to show the sticky keys in a vertical panel The functionality in a horizontal panel is unchanged. The tooltip also shows normally in all cases excepting when the relevant keys are actually pressed

[ JosephMcc ]
panel.js: Change the order which panels are drawn
[ itzexor ]
cs_screensaver.py: expose new cinnamon screensaver settings
cinnamon-settings.py: refactor maybe_resize slightly
[ brownsr ]
ensure applets that override on_panel_height_changed get to scale properly The logic in the common applet code has been changed so that the scaling is not overridden by the locally overridden function. The local function thus becomes additional to the core function, rather than overriding it in its entirety. This also corrects errors associated with turning scale mode on and off. One more associated change to the window-list applet in a vertical panel will be needed but as there are changes queued up for that I think it's best done subsequently fixes #5700
Ensure that the edge of the screen reacts to mouse clicks Previously the outside couple of pixels were unreactive. This was set so as to avoid recursion errors but these seem no longer to be there, so this resets to the desired behaviour

New in Cinnamon 3.0.7 (Jul 14, 2016)

New in Cinnamon 3.0.6 (Jun 23, 2016)

Add a generic "bluetooth" icon
power applet: Don't connect to any signals that call _devicesChanged until we have the power proxy (since the callbacks assume we do have it).
windowAttentionHandler.js: make the ignored app check case- insensitive. While we're here make it a gsettings array for convenience.
org.cinnamon.gschema.in - add pidgin to ignored wm classes.
Touchpad settings: Invert motion-threshold setting widget
appletManager.js: Fix copy/pasting applet panel applet layouts. Extension.get_max_instances() needed an extra argument, and then we were doing work twice - finished removing obsolete code.
cinnamon-recorder: fix crash when starting recorder...
cinnamon-recorder.c: restore avoidance of the panel when drawing the recording indicators. This was removed during some panel work a while back and never restored. Always draw them on the primary monitor now (the only monitor with reliable, simple-to-get workarea information).
fix spelling mistakes
onscreen keyboard: Add option to change activation behavior - accessible mode has the keyboard appear whenever focus demands it (ordinary accessibility behavior). On-demand mode will have the keyboard only appear when the user requests it via an applet click or keyboard shortcut.
Themes settings: Fixed loading icon themes when a theme isn't readable
popupMenu.js: use the signalManager.disconnect correctly - the source actor (the panel actor for the applet) has to be the second argument, the object to disconnect from. Was causing flickering in the menu applet after repositioning it.
Makepot
Settings: Don't hardcode "more info" link color in spices modules
[desrt] network: properly remove connections from list
Network applet: Fixed icon not showing VPN status
Network applet: Delete trailing spaces
Network applet: Fixed applet showing "Auto" wireless connection when turning wifi OFF and then back ON.
tray icons: Bump icon request to 24, then scale back to 20 in the applet. This is needed due to changes to GtkIconSize values in Gtk3. GtkStatusIcon iterates thru the built-in icon sizes to pick an appropriate icon to use, and as of 3.18 there are no sizes between 16 and 24px.
Preferred application settings: Set mimetypes more exhaustively

add option to show/hide favbox in menu applet
Added new default application buttons
show panel-launchers actions
tab indents into space indents, more item without dots
Move sound settings to python as a native module
Add a custom page to display when no input devices are available or applications are currently playing. Add a custom settings box for the sound effects page to prevent getting a very tall window when opening the settings. Make a few tweaks to the test sound dialog and add the relevant icons.
Some visual tweaks to the sound settings:
Sound settings: add mute to all volume controls
cs_sound.py: Few fixes to the volume slider/mute button:
layout.js: Remove code for interaction with the screensaver. It was always broken until 2.8.7, where I 'fixed' it, and has caused some reported regression where the panels will be hidden after returning from the screensaver.
cs_sound.py: add padding to the end of stream names in applications page
Viber stealing focus fix
magnifier.js: update the lens size as well as shape when we turn on lens mode.
Generate new desktop files for sound and accessibility
Touchpad settings: Rename "natural scrolling" to "reverse scrolling direction"
Fix middle click action in the photo frame
photoframe: recurse subdirectories
Sound settings: Fixed device not showing when its icon isn't found (fixes bluetooth devices not showing up)

Power settings/applet: Let the user rename battery powered devices
Power settings: Fix power bars not being aligned
Startup settings: Fix https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5199
tooltips.js: hide if the stage's key focus changes - prevents tooltips from becoming stuck if you use the keyboard to switch focus (hit the menu key while a window list preview is showing.)
cs_keyboard: Add a "wide" style class to the pane separator in the shortcuts page and remove some unneeded padding so this looks a little nicer in most newer themes
effects: Enable effects on dialogs and menus by default
Sound applet: Correctly identify changed artwork from Spotify (and add support for new URLs in version 0.27.x)
Theme settings: Don't filter themes missing gtk-3.0 if they provide gtk-3.*
show multi line descriptions in applet about: Fix #5193
Sound applet: Use wget to download remote artwork covers
layout: Tweak the handling of menus in the top_window_group to match muffin changes
Cinnamon Settings: Fixed gi.require_version warnings
Cinnamon Settings: Remove a couple of old debug output

Fix some typos in the Writing applets tutorial
[ Clement Lefebvre ]
Power applet: Fix case when last battery is removed (applet continued to show up)
Power settings/applet: Added vendor/model info, refactored code/logic as to which device to show in the applet, fixed 6px margin issue
Power applet: Don't show time until fully charged when equal to 0 (i.e. when unknown)
Multi-monitor support: When switching workspace, the workspace name OSD should appear on all relevant monitors
Alt-tab: Improved preview mode (faster switching animations, less delay, less opacity in the background)
Alt-tab: Speed up preview backdrop animation a little more
Alt-tab: Classic switcher, don't animate thumbnail removal (it looks weird when switching to the next window..). Also, increase the delay to show thumbs to 300ms. Both 180ms and 300ms seem slow when trying to identify windows by their thumbs, but 180ms gets in the way and shows shadow-thumbs when pressing Alt at "normal" speed. It's all empirical/subjective really.. but this seems to improve things a bit.
Display applet: Show output names (handy when the the display name is the same for 2 or more monitors)
Workspace Switcher applet: Added visual representations and configuration to switch between visual and button modes
Applets: Fixed enabling/disabling applets

Cleanup: instead of attempting to clean up deprecated functionality in cinnamon-arrow, just remove it since it seems to be unused.
Cleanup: Fix an unused function warning in cinnamon-global.c
Cleanup: Remove st-tooltip. It's the source of a lot of build warnings and we no longer use it.
js: Explicitly dispose of all cairo contexts. A long read on why you want to do this here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685513
trash-applet: Fix an issue: JS ERROR: Error: Too few arguments to method Gio.close expected 1 got 0 in the trash applet
effects: bring back our window unminimize effect
workspace-switcher: Add an "Add new workspace" option to the context menu
boxpointer: Pull in some upstream fixes that better handle the boxpointer "arrow" in some cases
Set the X-Gnome-AutoRestart hint to false. Stumbled across this in an old gnome bug report. Fixes the issue with Cinnamon restarting twice with cinnamon --replace
windowManager: Destroy the tile hud/preview when we are done with it. Currently after showing the preview you will get a noticeable slowdown when moving windows that pass off the monitor edges. This should help solve that.
popupMenu: Add back the expander arrow on PopupSubMenuMenuItem but with a different layout. Also tweak the layout of a couple of our applet menus to look nicer with this change. The addition of the icons to Cinnamon itself is a workaround for Mint. Newer versions of the gnome icon theme have these as built in icons but not in the version supplied with Mint 17. They can be removed in the future.
bg: add "spanned" to the list of bg types that need to show the background color options
popupMenu: add back a couple checks for the existence of submenu expander arrow to prevent breaking the right click context menus in the menu applet
use the new meta_screen_get_current_monitor() to place appswitchers and modal dialogs on the proper monitor in multiple monitor setups
workspace-applet: properly dispose a cairo context
cs_windows: Reword a setting to match https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/pull/204
windowManager: Make the window dimming effect with attached dialogs a bit stronger and more obvious
windowManager: Properly declare a variable
add new slider and separator objects
workspace-switcher: Rework the visual style workspace switcher so it can be themed. Also fix some st_theme_node warnings and stop windows from being able to be drawn outside the workspace background
cs_startup: set modal to true for both the "Choose application" and "Add custom command" dialogs so the behavior is the same for both when using attached dialogs
rework the window list and effects so minimize effects work properly with multiple window lists on multiple monitors
sound-applet: make the volume slider for individual applications fully expand
workspace-swithcer: Use the set_important() function to make sure we get proper theming on the visual workspace switcher in themes that don't yet support it

Be more selective when filter the mouse release events.
Add support for indicators.
Fix missing or improperly imports.
Moved the indicator to the main cinnamon class. Removed the NameWatchDog Class. Added some checks, and the compatibility with this new behavior.
Removed also the NameWatchDog declaration (was omitted in the previous commit).
Inhibit the indicator icon, when has a draggable parent.
As a pedro recommendation, this is an attempt to move the RadioButton and CheckBox classes to the corresponding place, and reuse it, in the same place.

cs_backgrounds: add missing import
window-list applet: restore 2.4 behavior where a window list item demanding attention remains highlighted after it's done flashing.
panel-launcher: Use a generic icon when creating a new launcher, if the user didn't select a custom icon.
st-widget: Expand the "important" property: add set/get methods, remove CONSTRUCT_ONLY flag, have a theme node recalculation triggered when the property changes.
capi.py: Move with rest of cinnamon-settings files to their new location, remove debian sed rule for multiarch fix, instead figure out the right location in the capi code. Cinnamon-bluetooth is not MultiarchSpec compliant, so we still need to *also* load from /usr/lib/*.
st-widget.c: Fix typo in st_widget_recompute_style
st-theme-node: properly recalc the theme node when an StWidget's important property changes.
main.js: Fix typo from 08474a03cd660bb176d5ebb361a01ff6d51162fc
tooltips.js: Fix some occasional log warnings

Network applet: hide the switch if the switch has got no function This is typically the case e.g. when a cable is unplugged
trash applet: do not add items to context menu on orientation changed
extension.js: Use a macro function to create the Extension.Type members
extension.js: xlet uuids are unique for each xlet type, it is now possible to have more than one xlet of different types and the same uuid - Extension.unloadExtension, Extension.forgetExtension and Extension.get_max_instances needs to have a type argument after the uuid - Extension.importObjects, Extension.objects, Extension.meta, Extension.dirs are moved to Extension.Type[type].maps[mapType]
Automatically reload xlets when updating them instead of showing an info dialog
extension.js: Enable imports in a xlet via import.xlet (where xlet is the type of xlet; applet, desklet, extension or search_provider) cinnamon-js.cpp: Removed cinnamon_js_add_extension_importer
appletManager: In arrow filter functions, check if the value exists (when iterating over appletObj) Fixed the bug when the button in applet settings has no effect
[ Rob Adams ]
Show audio device name (origin) in sound applet
Change calls to highlight, activate callbacks on xlets - Fixed initial instance not being selected on multi-instance xlets (error on highlight) - Passing uuid and instance_id to cinnamon via dbus - instance_id is the same as uuid when multi-instance not allowed - Corrected order of instance tabs in Gtk.Notebook to reflect order instances were added in

mint-x-icons:
Updated pidgin tray icons
cinnamon-desktop, cinnamon-session, cinnamon-settings-daemon, cinnamon-screensaver
Split “use-systemd” configuration key into three different keys for cinnamon-settings-daemon, cinnamon-session and cinnamon-screensaver
Note: In Betsy, you’ll want to set the session and settings-daemon keys to true, and the screensaver key to false. In Mint 17.x, set all keys to false. In systemd distributions, set all keys to true.
nemo:
nemo-application: register with org.gnome.SessionManager – this should fix the race condition where c-s-d dies before nemo does, causing all of our icons to revert to fallbacks briefly.
menus: Always show icons in Open With and Templates submenus.
nemo-bookmark-list: make sure to keep the bookmarks file writable by the user (and not just root) when running nemo as root.
cinnamon:
Power settings: Don’t rely on output.get_backlight_min|max() to show brightness controls as it’s not reliable with all hardware. Try to get backlight() info directly to see if it’s supported instead.
Theme settings: Fixed regression caused by gettext fix ;)
Power settings: Don’t show “When the battery is critically low” option with upower 1.0 (it no longer supports that)
Power settings: Don’t use variables that don’t exist (in UPS handling)
Calendar applet: Refresh view when show-week-numbers setting is changed
Network applet: Properly detect active VPN connection at session start when updating the panel icon
On-Screen keyboard: Affect Struts
On-Screen keyboard: Removed transparent background in default theme.
Sound applet: Only read position for seek-supported players, only support seek when playback rate is 1.0, don’t support seek for Totem/GNOME-MPlayer/Pithos (either getting or setting the position isn’t fully functional), only update position at most once per second
Systray applet: Factorize icon resize code, removed special cases (we know they don’t work for pidgin and thunderbird)
Systray applet: force natural icon sizes for known buggy icons (pidgin, thunderbird)
Keyboard settings: Renamed horizontal/vertical maximization options

Follow date format setting in notification applet
Load default icon if icon theme doesn’t have application icon
js/docInfo.js: don’t make a thumbnail factory (it never gets used)
cinnamon-settings: invert mouse sensitivity setting so it makes sense, eliminate rubber-banding of GSettingsRange by restricting int setting types to whole number adjustments in the slider.
cs_privacy: replace broken unbind() – take advantage of the behavior that a new binding will overwrite a previous one on the same object property.
Add image for default screensaver preview.
cs_screensaver.py: bring the currently selected screensaver row into view when the panel is displayed.
menu applet: when refreshing happens, apps, recent and places need to end up in the same order as before. Also, since we empty the whole container during an app refresh, we need to rebuild recent and places.
SettingsWidgets: display the correct number of SpinButton digits depending on the step value. (fixes issue with font scale spinner)
cs_panel: don’t connect to settings until the page has been constructed. Don’t crash and burn if cinnamon isn’t running.
cs_panel: don’t crash when there aren’t any panels
osd: fix the media keys osd not showing on top of full screen windows
allow disabling of pointer barriers on all panels
Added missing method to ExtensionSidePage class, which blocked the update of the indicator of the active theme

keybindings: Ignore capslock for teach mode
keybindings: force lower case when comparing existing keybindings for collisions.
Fixed scroll direction in window list applet
layout.js: don't hide/show the panels during the startup animation, make them temporarily transparent instead - this fixes an issue when panel auto-hide is active, the animation will complete, and you'll see a temporary blank area where the panel would be, as the chrome adjusts to the panel.
layout.js: Only alter panel behavior during animation when the panel auto-hide is actually active - it 'looks' better during startup for any non-auto-hidden panel.
appletManager.js: Don't dump orphaned applets into the remaining panel when changing layouts from double to single panel. They are silently ignored. They will show as having an issue in applet settings (red dot) and a looking glass log note, describing how to fix, if desired.
keybindings: Filter out reserved GdkModifierTypes - they can interfere with keybindings on certain systems.
classicSwitcher.js: prevent warning from an errant source id.
app switcher: Fix double-destroy when activating a minimized window. The app switchers listen for the 'map' signal from windows - a mapping signal triggers an _activateWindow, and we also get an activate from actually selecting the window in the first place.
st-im-text.c: Fix capslock in StEntry widgets.
expoThumbnail.js: Fix warning from invalid source id.
overrides.js: Add dump_stack when .disconnecting with an invalid ID.
classicSwitcher.js: Force a re-allocation of the alt-tab container when a thumbnail/preview is removed.
Fixed default avatar image path
menu applet: Don't reset the category when dragging an app.
st-texture-cache.c: Make sure the pixbuf requested ends up with the correct-sized texture (instead of the original texture size) - StIcon's update_shadow_material method was getting a bad size to generate the shadow/blur.
Rename the stock cinnamon menu applet icon so it gets rendered correctly as a symbolic icon.
applet.js: Make sure set_applet_icon_symbolic_name and _path use a good size when scale mode is off. Also reduce the padding of the menu-symbolic.svg icon so its visible size is more in line with other symbolic icons.
menu applet: Fix logic surrounding the default icon.
Fixed the PictureChooserButton in Gtk 3.14, compatible with 3.10.
Cinnamon Settings: Fixed menu picture sizes in PictureChooserButton in Gtk 3.14, compatible with 3.10.

New in Cinnamon 1.8 (May 6, 2013)

On behalf of the team and all the developers who contributed to this build, I am proud to announce the release of Cinnamon 1.8!
Cinnamon 1.8 represents 7 months of development and 1,075 commits. It features a lot of bug fixes but also brand new features and many improvements.
File Manager:
Nemo received a lot of attention. Its user interface was heavily modified and its behavior was adapted to integrate better with Cinnamon.
You can now easily hide the sidebar and switch back and forth between places and treeview. Under each place, if applicable, a small bar indicates how much space is used.
Screensaver:
Cinnamon now features its own screensaver. One of its particularities is that you can define an away message before locking up your screen.
People who are looking for you can see that message while you’re away.
Control Center:
All configuration modules are now present in Cinnamon Settings. You no longer need to use Gnome Control Center.
Desklets:
KDE calls them Plasmoids, Android calls them Widgets, in Cinnamon they’re called “Desklets”. The same way you can add applets to your panel, you can add desklets to your desktop.
Cinnamon 1.8 ships with 3 desklets installed by default (a launcher, a clock and a photoframe) and many more will come from the community (yes, before people ask, there is an xkcd desklet out there).
Spices Management;
In Cinnamon 1.8 you can install “spices” (i.e. applets, desklets, themes, extensions) straight from your desktop. You don’t need to browse http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com anymore.
You can apply updates as well and if the Spice supports it you can use multiple instances of it.
New features for developers:
Settings API for Applets/Desklets
If you’re an Applet/Desklet developer, don’t use gsettings anymore. Cinnamon 1.8 features a settings API which will do all the work for you.
It will set up your settings and default values for you, automatically.
It will allow you to access your settings just as easily as you access values in an array.
It will generate a configuration screen for you, automatically.
In other words, you just define your settings and use them in your applet/desklet, and Cinnamon does everything else for you. A configuration screen is automatically generated for you and the user can configure the settings you defined from the System Settings.
System improvements:
Renderer detection:
Muffin now checks which renderer is being used. If the session is using a Software Renderer (that’s the case when there is a problem with the drivers or if the card doesn’t feature any acceleration) a notification pops up to let the user know about the problem.
Fallback mode:
Cinnamon no longer uses gnome-session for fallback. In some cases gnome-session didn’t allow Cinnamon to run even though the hardware was capable of running Cinnamon. Another limitation of gnome-session was its inability to restart Cinnamon after a crash. In Cinnamon 1.8, the Cinnamon session always launches Cinnamon, so your computer will try to run Cinnamon no matter what.
Cinnamon also uses a wrapper to restart itself and recover from potential crashes. If Cinnamon crashes it now falls back on Metacity and asks the user if he/she wants to restart Cinnamon.
And that’s not all…
Cinnamon 1.8 is huge. Its commit changelog is twice the size of the 1.6 release!
Other notable features:
Better hot-corner configuration
Coverflow Alt-Tab
Timeline Alt-Tab
Horizontal/Vertical maximizing of windows
