Boxes 3.5.90

["Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" <zeeshanak gnome org>]

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce a new (unstable) release of Boxes.

Changes since 3.5.5:

- Add search feature, both inside Boxes and in GNOME Shell.
- Selection view now looks a lot prettier (i-e like in gnome-documents) and we
  now retain the selection when switching away from selection view.
- Add an info text column under the box in collection view. Currently its used
  to indicate installation or live status of VMs.
- Asynchronously launch machines so the UI doesn't hang and user sees that
  something is actually happening.
- Make 'favorite' button in selection view, actually work.
- Express installation:
  - Use the new info text column to show the progress of the installation.
  - Don't set SPICE password. Our own created VMs are supposed to be private to
    user (at least by default) so there is no need to add password protection
    to display connection.
  - Allow password-less Fedora VM, just like Windows XP and 7.
  - Require user to input product key for Windows XP.
  - Remove work around for broken QXL drivers on Fedora 16 ISOs.
  - Use the new schemas for detecting the keyboard layout.
- 'check' commandline option:
   - Add a check for SELinux context.
   - Add check for whether we have the kvm capability on qemu:///session.
   - Prettier output.
- Add 'open-uuid' commandline option that allows to open a box by its UUID.
- Fixes to satisfy recent valac.
- Fix issue of Fedora installations looping forever.
- Fix a series of small issues in the UI.
- Added/updated translations:
  - Assamese
  - Belarusian
  - Galician
  - Hebrew
  - Hindi
  - Indonesian
  - Marathi
  - Serbian
  - Slovenian
  - Spanish
  - Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan)

Dependencies changed:

- uuid >= 1.41.3 (new depenency)
- libvirt-gobject >= 0.1.2
- vala >= 0.17.2
