V0.72 The applet now works on and can be built for both GTK2 and GTK3 versions of MATE.
Aside from the changes to layout containers (i.e. GTK2 VBox & HBoxes become GTK3
Boxes/Grids), underlying differences between the two toolkits meant that the code
to calculate window minimise positions and window list popup positions had to be
reworked.

A GTK2 verison of the applet can be produced by running './configure --prefix=/usr'
during the build process, while running './configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk3'
will produce a Gtk3 version.

V0.71 More improvements to matching apps with their .desktop files. In particular this relates
to Ubuntu 16.04 and Vivaldi, PlayOnLinux, Aptik, Dia, Tor Browser, Gnome Software, Gnome Disks,

Removed the options to display pinned apps from all or only the current workspace as these
were based on a misunderstanding of a feature request. They have been replaced with
a new option to only show indicators and window list items for windows which are on
the current workspace and this provides the requested functionality.

useful keyboard shortcuts etc.
