Window Shuffler is a new capability exclusively for Ubuntu Budgie that the team has had in development for a number of months but due to time-pressures we could not complete with sufficient quality and testing exposure by the Feature Freeze date.
It brings more flexible GUI and keyboard window tiling ability to the budgie-desktop.
We have now completed development of this and would like to expose this new capability as part of our default install for 18.04 LTS.
----
Testing: This has been tested on both our minimal install and full install via our test PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/bde/+packages
Upgrade of existing users as well as creating new user accounts both have been tested and confirm to work correctly.
Testing also included upgrading from 17.10 to 18.04
Risk: minimal. The changes are in budgie-desktop-environment which is a package not used in any other desktop environment except for Ubuntu Budgie.
Attached is
1. the pbuilder build log file
2. install log from the built PPA.
3. debdiff of the changes
I hope that the package had a longer testing period than the 3 days since the package has been built in the PPA! But in overall, seeing that this is a change only specific to Budgie and the Budgie release lead has submitted this request, I approve of the Window Shuffler budgie-
Please proceed!
