["Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)" <matttbe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeaaah! Cairo-Dock / GLX-Dock 3.0 has just been released! :)

So... what's new in this version? The main changes:
 * The *taskbar* has been greatly enhanced.
 * The *Log out* applet has been rewritten, now allowing you to switch
users. 
 * The *control of the dock from the keyboard* is now very powerful: 
  * many shortkeys have been added in several applets.
  * you can activate a launcher by pressing a shortkey + its number.
  * all shortkeys can now be managed in a single place in the
configuration window. 
 * The *Sound Menu* from Ubuntu has been integrated into the
Sound-Control applet. 
 * A new *Twitter applet* lets you tweet in one click. 
 * A new applet to *inhibit the screensaver* in one click. 
 * Separators are transparent to click in *'Panel'* mode.
 * Cairo-Dock now uses *GTK3*, for a better integration in a Gnome
desktop.
 * Few additions to the DBus API.
 * Text drawing (e.g. with Clock) has been improved.
 * Icons from user icons theme are now loaded with the right size.
 * The new default theme with a panel is now included in the core
package.
 * It's possible to donate to support the project!

But there is also a lot of improvements and fixed bugs!
