VERSION 11.2 - Minor Release

This release fixes the touchscreen functionality! as well as compatibility fixes. Available in the main repository, releases, and bash installation script. GNOME (E.G.O.) availability waits for version 12 which will include support for GNOME 51.


Fix: QuickSettings Panel Indicator

Updated the extension to use the modern GNOME QuickSettings API (QuickToggle / SystemIndicator / addExternalIndicator()), replacing the deprecated PanelMenu.Button approach. The Drawing Mode indicator now appears correctly in the panel and the Quick Settings toggle works as expected.

Files Modified: extension.js, areamanager.js


Fix: Drawing Mode and Laser Pointer

Replaced the removed global.get_pointer() call (deprecated in GNOME 47) with global.display.get_pointer(). This restores correct behavior for Drawing on Desktop mode and the Laser Pointer tool.

File Modified: area.js


New: Exit Drawing Mode Menu Item

Added an Exit Drawing Mode option to the right-click popup menu, above the action button row. Useful for touchscreen users who can two-finger tap to access the menu and exit drawing mode without needing a keyboard shortcut.

File Modified: menu.js


Thanks

Big thanks to @aarushlohit for the help tracking down the Drawing Mode error and the get_pointer fix (issue #62). ❤️
