Its changelog:
* Accept any dropped file - not just applications - as a favorite, tint those green.
* More optimizations and fixes to reduce start-up and filter time.
* Prevent the setup window obscuring the main window by floating over it.
From QuickLaunch's changelog:
* Support localized application names.
* Window now "floats" instead of being "modal", allowing interaction
with the rest of the system, e.g. drag&drop apps from the QuickLaunch
window.
* Improved vertical alignment of text esp. with tiny and big font sizes.
* Bugfix: sometimes the initial window size wasn't as tall as needed.
* Bugfix: using Japanese input methods didn't trigger the search.
Needs Haiku beta5 (or nightly).
* Moved the QuickLaunch binary directly into /system/apps. An alert will
prompt the user to adjust their Shortcuts perferences.
* Moved documentation into /system/documentation hierarchy.
* Added "Open Shortcuts preferences" button to Setup window as convenience.
* Improved color management, esp. for dark themes.
* Update translations, thanks all translators!
* Added Australian English translation
* Added Norwegian translation, thanks Johan Wagenheim!
* Added Latin American Spanish translation, thanks cafeina, victroniko, OscarL!
x86_64 is used as a baseline: the "x86_64" entry, whatever status it has,
is transformed into "all", and then the other entries in ARCHITECTURES
either dropped or rearranged appropriately.
Needed a quick new release:
* Fix disappearing favorites.
* Add context menu with quick access to favorites and QuickLaunch's
"About" to Deskbar replicant.
* Updated localization and documentation.
* Tiny tweaks to the QuickLaunch icon.
* Referring the current haiku version explicitly is not needed, since
the RequiresUpdater takes care of setting the version of Haiku used
for building a package.
* Improved BUILD() and INSTALL() to not be needlessly complicated.
* Point SRC_URI to latest commit that fixes some HTML issues in
the QuickLaunch Readme.
* portVersionedName contains the secondary architecture,
so using it means secondary package builds fail.
example: $portVersionedName is libwow_x86-0.0.0 when
doing an x86 build on x86_gcc2
