Polonium v1.0rc - Hoppy Easter
Pre-releaseHappy Easter to anyone who celebrates it! I will be with my family tomorrow, so this is an early Easter present of the first ever feature complete version of Polonium. Adding the monocle layout and fixing tiling did not take nearly as long as I anticipated, so I think it's finally at a place where I can confidently feature freeze development for now. I also want to get this release out as soon as possible so bugs can be reported and fixed for v1.0's release. If everything goes smoothly, it should be released next week, but if not I'm not in a huge rush.
Features
- The much requested Monocle layout
- Window dragging with the mouse
- Tile resizing for supported layouts
- Some engines now have persistent settings
Bug fixes
- Pinned windows now get untiled and tiled properly
- Settings dialog and application fixed
- Docs updated
Under the hood
- Engines can save custom persistent settings through dbus-saver
- Engines now have access to relative sizing, making writing resizeable engines easier
Roadmap
- Fix bugs if there are any
- Get v1.0 stable and released!

I advise taking a look at the docs, as they have been updated with some of the more advanced features such as the Monocle layout shortcuts. Docs on the engine settings popup may be added as well, as it and dbus-saver are powerful features for people who like to maintain a somewhat static layout.
Let's hope this release doesn't cause more crashes...
(Minor edit, it did but its fine now)
