* Add ``initialize_plugin`` to the plugin interface.

+* The D-Bus interface has been extended with X screen and timestamp-aware

+ be carried along correctly even when running ``.kfcom`` files (if
+ activated as an application by startup-notification-aware launchers,
+ this works with most standard desktop components).
* Internally, change how actions are carried out by allowing the
action execution context object to be passed down the execution chain
instead of being a global resource. This also allows plugins to cleanly
access current environment (event timestamp, current screen etc).
+ + Support running kupfer on multiple X screens (:lp:`614796`), use

+ keyboard shortcut support.

* The *Tracker 0.8* plugin supports version 0.8 and 0.10 alike. Because of
that and the expected compatibility with one version after this too, it's
now called *Tracker*.

+* The *Favorites* plugin lists *Kupfer Help* and *Kupfer Preferences* by
+ default (for new users), so that it's not empty and those items are ranked
+ higher.
