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

+  + ``PresentOnDisplay``, ``PutFilesOnDisplay``, ``PutTextOnDisplay``,

 * 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).

 * 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.
