2020-May-07
Fixes icon highlighting when opening a project and better handling of projects launched with Python 3.
Details:

- We've fixed an issue where icons get highlighted and stay highlighted when the mouse cursor is over the Shotgun Desktop after opening a project.
2020-Mar-31
Projects using a Python 3 interpreter can now be launched from Shotgun Desktop.
Details:
Once a project has been configured to use Python 3 by editing the config/core/interpreter_<os>.cfg file inside a centralized configuration or the core/interpreter_<os>.cfg inside a distributed or descriptor-based configuration, Shotgun Desktop will launch that project with Python 3.
Thank you to @aparna-d2 for providing the PySide2 support code.

While the Desktop application and the pipeline configuration can be updated separately, both need to be updated to fix the Python process leaks.

2015-Oct-09
Change the tray icon to fit in OSX Dark mode.
When restarting the Desktop, the login screen will always be displayed.
Details:
In the newest version of the Shotgun Desktop, not being logged in on startup sends the user in tray-mode. The user then needs to click on the tray icon and pick "Sign in to Shotgun Desktop" in order to login. When signing out of the Desktop however, the Desktop will be restarted and jump straight into the login screen.
Fixed a bug on Windows where restarting the Shotgun Desktop kept port 9000 alive even tough the Desktop had been closed.
Details:
Once you have restarted the Shotgun Desktop and let it auto-update itself, you will probably encounter the port 9000 issue again. You will need to quit all applications that were launched from the Shotgun Desktop or from a web browser. You will also need to close the Shotgun Desktop itself. Then launching the Shotgun Desktop again should work without any issues.
If you still encounter the port 9000 issue, something else might be holding on to it. Please log out of your Windows user account and log back in. This should definitely release the port 9000 once and for all and then the Shotgun Desktop will able to launch and close port 9000 correctly in the future.

Fixes the Project Filesystem Folder launcher.
Fixes a crash when adding the tk-desktop engine to the project context.
