Release Cairo Dock 3.2 For Ubuntu Desktop

Release Cairo Dock 3.2 For Ubuntu Desktop ~ Cairo-Dock is a software which functions not only allows users to open a shortcut or launcher, but also beautify the appearance of Desktop Background.
General:

  • Multi-screen support has been improved. 
  • The new applet Screenshot allows you to take screenshot (it's purpose is to replace gnome-screenshot and its annoying effects).
  • The new plug-in Sound-Effects adds sound effects to some actions on the icons.
  • Distant folders (samba, FTP, etc) and encrypted disks are now handled in the Shortcuts applet.

Environment support:

  • Cairo-Dock can run on any desktop, and is a good addition to the classic shells (Unity, Gnome-Shell, KDE, etc) or it can even replace them advantageously.
This version brings further support of the classic shells:
  • Gnome-Shell support: the dock can now use some abilities of Gnome-shell (windows Exposé, desktops Exposé), as it already does with Compis and Kwin. 
  • GDM support for user switching has also been added, as it already has for ldm, kdm, etc
  • The dock now supports Systemd (Fedora, Arch, etc) for the session management within the Logout applet
  • All the Unity indicators are now supported through a generic Indicator applet (Printer-menu, Bluetooth-menu, etc)
  • The Note-taking applet can now work without Tomboy or Gnote. 
  • And the dock now compiles and runs fine on FreeBSD.
