Latte Dock | End Of Life for v0.9.11


Hello everyone, this is a notice for users and distro packagers.
 
Latte v0.9.11 is the last published stable version for v0.9.x branch but it is not updated or maintained any more. It has not beed updated for more than a year and unfortunately  the next stable branch v0.10.x is not ready yet. I will probably need three or four months from now to complete its implementation.
 
The bad news is that v0.9.11 is not compatible with Plasma 5.22 . All users using v0.9.11 when they update to Plasma 5.22 will observe a broken Latte Tasks plasmoid.
 
Solutions:
  • Distros should update to latest Latte git version which I call pre-beta and is versioned v0.9.91 in master branch
  • Someone steps in and publishes a new v0.9.12 release that is compatible with Plasma 5.22 . No problem if some features do not work, it just needs to provide a valid Latte Tasks plasmoid
  • Users after 5.22 should switch to plasma panels and wait for official Latte v0.10.x to be provided from their distros
