[MeeGo-inputmethods] Maliit 0.80.8 released

[Michael Hasselmann]

What's new?
===========

This version integrates the GTK+ support which previously lived in a separate
project. GTK+ applications on Fedora and Ubuntu will work with Maliit out of
the box.
The QML reference plugin gained gesture support to close (swipe down) and
switch plugins (swipe left/right). A secondary symbol view has also been added.

What is it?
===========

Maliit provides a flexible and cross-platform input method framework,
including a virtual keyboard. It works on all MeeGo user experiences,
and in other GNU/Linux distributions.

What changed in detail?
=======================

CHANGES IN FRAMEWORK SINCE 0.80.7
* Merge GTK+ input context bridge from
  https://gitorious.org/meegotouch-inputmethodbridges into Maliit
  - Use GTK_IM_MODULE=Maliit to activate the input context.
* Improved GTK+ support
  - GTK+ applications now properly reconnect when the connection to the Maliit
    server was lost or when the Maliit server was started after the
    application.
  - By default, update GTK+ inputmethod module cache. Packagers might want to
    override this at configure time via qmake CONFIG+=disable-gtk-cache-update
* Forward all Qt inputmethod hints to Maliit plugins, via
  MImUpdateEvent::hints().
* Allow applications to control whether symbol view or QWERTY view should be
  shown when a text entry gains focus (check widgetproperties example):
  - Set the Qt::ImPreferNumbers inputmethod hint.
* Add a translucent inputmethod mode (check widgetproperties example):
  - Use QObject::setProperty(Maliit::InputMethodQuery::translucentInputMethod,
    true|false)
* New MImUpdateReceiver class demonstrates a Qt property technique for plugins
  to cleanly process MImUpdateEvents.

CHANGES IN PLUGINS SINCE 0.80.7
* Merge latest Harmattan VKB plugin into Maliit upstream.
* QML plugin got a 2-page symview
* Use swipe gestures to close QML plugin and switch to other plugins.
