Detailed changes

phoc (0.30.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * desktop: Specify xdg-shell protocol version
  * seat: Get derived class via wlr_*_from_input_device.
    Get the derived class from the wlr_input_device base class via the
    corresponding wlr_<type>_from_input_device()
  * gtk-shell: Use wlr_compository.h instead of deprecated wlr_surface.h
  * xwayland-surface: Use xcb_size_hints_t directly.
    See wlroots commit 640f3b9f2156a007c5d1a36afdee570e123c95e4
    and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3495
  * layer-shell-effects: Margins are now signed.
    This is good news.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3404
  * output: Look at popup's current coordinates
  * switch: Get name from device
  * phosh-private: Adjust thumbnail flags.
    See wlroots commit 6832ae14aaa659929ea13057616db34536f7f724
  * d/control: Bump wlroots dependency
  * ci: Update image before installing dependencies
  * ci: Install wlroots 0.16.0 from sid.  Update the CI image for that
  * Drop check for wlr_seat_touch_notify_cancel.
    It's part of wlroots 0.16
  * output: Use wlr_output_state when setting up output.
    While at that make sure we pass PhocOutput around rather than wlr_output
    when functions are called phoc_outpu_<foo>.
  * output: Make debugging more useful.
    The output name tells us more than the address
  * output: Fall back to other mode if preferred mode doesn't work
  * output: Don't crash when adding new output.
    We need to set a mode when committing the state as otherwise sending out
    the head config asserts.
  * render: Fix build without xwayland.
    We need to check whether the user enabled xwayland support, not
    if wlroots supports it.
    Fixes e904c0975d480202279e7aafc42f70d28cf4164f
  * dir-locals: Update from phosh.
    This avoids tabs in meson files
  * po: Add Linguas.
    Otherwise msgfmt throws a warning on
      meson setup _build
  * ci: Set defaults.
    This e.g. allows to interrupt builds on new commits
    Taken verbatim from phosh.
  * build: Use project_source_root.
    Avoids a meson deprecation warning.
  * build: Avoid cc.getdefine for subproject.
    Otherwise we fail with
       ERROR:  Dependencies must be external dependencies
    See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4800
  * packaging: Reset dh's wrap-mode.
    We want to fallback for gmobile to have it available.
  * build: Use meson wrap for the wlroots submodule.
    This makes it more obvious what we're tracking and it gives
    us a git archive after all so local development doesn't get
    more complicated.
  * build: Use meson wrap for the gmobile submodule.
    It's a bit easier to handle than the git submodule giving us an explicit
    reference in the source tree. It will then also be simpler to switch to
    the shared library version once we have a stable API.
  * build: No need to update git submodules anymore
  * build: Fetch wlroots from the official repo.
    This finally makes sure we don't have to mess with forks
    somewhere. We still should upstream the one patch.
  * desktop: Bump xdg-shell to 5.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/issues/324
  * xdg-shell: Set capabilities.
    Phoc doesn't provide right click menus or minimize.
  * view: Use `self` in map.
    Old code parts use `view`, let's update this when making other changes.
    See HACKING.
  * view: Allow to retrieve pid.
    This can be useful for force killing and supsending apps
  * layer-shell-effects: Use wlr_layer_surface_v1_from_resource.
    Available in 0.16
  * output: Move public damage handling closer together
  * output: Document some more functions
  * xdg_shell: Use PhocXdgPopup consistently.
    Avoids confustion whether PhocXdgPopup and struct phoc_xdg_popup
    are the same type.
  * view: Implement phoc_view_child_damage_whole for popups.
    So far we damaged the parent surface which doesn't work well when the
    popup extends out of the parent. It also avoids that we submit way
    more damage than necessary.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/issues/325
  * build: Switch to wlroots 0.16
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/issues/272
.
  [ Sebastian Krzyszkowiak ]
  * treewide: Follow event rename for wlroots 0.16.
    Events are now names wlr_<event_type>_event instead of
    wlr_event_<event_type>. E.g. wlr_touch_motion_event
  * treewide: Get event device from touch, pointer, etc.
    The event does no longer carry the wlr_input_device. It's embedded
    as base class in e.g. wlr_{touch,pointer,...} now.
  * cursor: Adjust to wlr_output_layout_get_box signature change.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3439
  * desktop: Adjust to wlr_output_layout_get_box signature change.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3439
  * layer-shell-effects: Adjust to wlr_output_layout_get_box signature change.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3439
  * output: Adjust to wlr_output_layout_get_box signature change.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3439
  * view: Adjust to wlr_output_layout_get_box signature change.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3439
  * keyboard: Get keyboard via wlr_keyboard_from_input_device
  * xdg-surface: Adjust to toplevel changes
    wlr_xdg_toplevel_* now take a toplevel rather than a wlr_xdg_surface
  * Adjust popups to 0.16 API changes
  * render: read_pixels dropped it's flag argument
  * seat: Signals are now attached without the devices indirection
  * Adjust includes
  * server: Init subcompositor responsible for subsurfaces
  * keyboard: End touch grab in Escape key binding.
    Pointer and keyboard grabs are ended here, but touch has been forgotten.
  * seat: End keyboard grab in set_focus_layer.
    This matches what set_focus does for regular views already.
  * cursor: Ignore touch grab when interacting with layer-surfaces.
    This is needed in order to be able to use the shell (including virtual
    keyboard) while some client has a xdg-popup grab without dismissing that
    popup right away.
    See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3478
  * cursor: Ignore pointer grab when interacting with layer-surfaces.
    See the previous commit for explanation.
