gnome-calls (50~rc.0) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guido Günther ]
* flatpak: Use newer libfeedback.
Let's have the bug fixes
* emergency-call-types: Use strv builder
* build: Depend on mobile-broadband-provider-info.
This will be used for emergency number lookup
* build: Add gmobile.
We'll use it for the provider info parsing
* emergency-call-types: Make hash table static.
This is only meant to be used from this compilation unit
* emergency-call-types: Make emergency data hash table dynamic.
So far we referenced all compiled in data but we want to add
entries from the provider info database soon so use allocated
memories for all entries.
* emergency-call-types: Make data structures public.
This allows us to use them in tests
* emergency-calls-manager: Init emergency type database.
We so far did this on first access. Let's rather do it explicitly
so we notice problems early on startup.
* service-providers: Add parsing for service provider info.
We currently only need the emergency number information
* emergency-call-types: Use lower case country codes.
The provider info db has it that way.
* emergency-call-types: Add emergency numbers from service provider db.
This scales better than using a built in array.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/714
* emergency-call-types: Test get_numbers_by_country_code
* log: Make `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=something` work out of the box
calls wouldn't match the glib docs as setting `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG`
also required to pass `-vvv` for things to work. Enable debug logs
as soon as that variable is set.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/720
* build: Don't use libdir.
It contains the arch prefix
* packaging: Depend on systemd dev
* packaging: Make install recipe more specific.
This ensures we don't install files accidentally
[ Evangelos Ribeiro Tzaras ]
* treewide: Reformat meson files.
Ran `meson format -e -i -r`.
* build: Modernize and deduplicate setting up test targets.
Get rid of the duplication by rolling (almost) every test into a loop.
We now iterate over an array containing at least the name and list of sources.
To account for some differences between individual tests, we allow an
optional third array consisting of a dictionary for extra arguments.
In particular we ensure that the `test()` target now always depends on
the test binary, so that it will get properly rebuilt on changes to
the sources.
Note, that we're resorting in a separate commit, to ease reviewing.
* tests: Depend on .plugin files to exist.
When .plugin files are missing, the plugins will not be discoverable.
These were only getting built when run with `meson compile`,
but not for `meson test`.
Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/719
* tests: Add dbus server binary to dependencies.
Otherwise we `meson test` will not compile the server
required for the DBus tests.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/719
* ci: Check meson format.
Use check-meson from meta-phosh as of
eb1c7f3c602f93e50ba0f1b7da31c936c771a75c
* ci: Use ci-fairy to check commit messages
* build: Bump min glib version to 2.76.
This allows us to use e.g. g_set_str() without raising deprecation
warnings.
* subprojects: Add libcall-ui as meson subproject.
Get rid of the git submodule and forward to the latest commit
that avoids deprecation warnings while we're at it.
* debian: Allow to fetch meson wraps.
This is needed since we removed the git submodule and turned
libcall-ui into a meson subproject instead.
* application: Drop libcallaudio initialization
libcallaudio bits live in libcall-ui for a long time
(and libcallaudio is going away anyway).
* build: Drop (direct) libcallaudio dependency
* manpage: Adjust the option for running as a daemon
* systemd: Use --gapplication-service to launch
* dbus: Add SystemdService entry.
This allows to use systemd for dbus service activation.
* ci: Ensure build dependencies get installed.
This frees us from always having to update the container image
whenever build dependencies change.
* ringer: Remove unused declarations
* tree: Add gsound build dependency.
We use gsound for local playback of e.g. ringing sounds.
* media: Introduce local media playback.
Allows local playback of sounds such as "phone-outgoing-calling",
"phone-outgoing-busy".
Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/351
* sip-origin: Use alerting state once ringing
* sip-origin: Use CallsMediaPlayback for local ringback.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/351
* network-watch: Avoid crash with fortified sources.
This is the minimal change I found that does not lead to a crash with
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 when calling into the fortified inet_pton().
However, I don't think this was a buffer overflow to begin with
as the pointers points towards towards the beggining of req->buf
which has plenty of space.
Adding more debugging shows that dst passed to inet_pton()
is exactly the same, both for the new and old way of calculating it:
DEBUG: old: 0x555556e35c0c new: 0x555556e35c0c
DEBUG: old data: 0x555556e35c10 new data: 0x555556e35c10
DEBUG: objsize rta_old 0 objsize rta 18446744073709551615
DEBUG: RTA 0x555556e35c0c RTA_DATA 0x555556e35c10 req 0x555556e35bf0 diff 28 diff_buf 0
with diff the difference to self->req and diff_buf the difference to self->req->buf.
The only difference appears to be the __glibc_objsize for the new and
old RTA data, which seems to be at the heart of the trip-up.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/724
[ Christian Glombek ]
* sip: Add proxy support
* sip: Reorder account widget ui
* flatpak: Formatting fixes
* flatpak: Add libcall-ui dep source
* ci: Disable test runs on Flatpak builds.
In the absence of a good mechanism to disable specific tests that fail in the flatpak build env, disable all tests.
* tests/meson: Fix formatting.
Make `check-meson` CI test happy.
[ Martin ]
* Update Slovenian translation
[ Martin Prejsa ]
* ui-call-data: Implement call-type property.
Added tests for the newly added property
and tests for the newly created helper functions
[ Sabri Ünal ]
* Update Turkish translation
* metainfo: Drop categories from metainfo.xml
**Categories and keywords**
> If there’s a launchable defined for a desktop application, categories and keywords are pulled from the desktop file. Defining them separately in the Metainfo file will override the contents of the desktop file.

[ Antonio Marin ]
* Update Romanian translation
[ Artur S0 ]
* Update Russian translation
[ Sebastian Krzyszkowiak ]
* data: Restart the daemon on failure.
If Calls crashes for some reason, the user will be left with no
running Calls instance until it's launched manually. Make sure
the daemon gets restarted on a failure.
