Detailed changes

phoc (0.39.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * gitlab-ci: Update base image to 2024-04-04.
    Otherwise gcovr fails on us when a submodule has tests disabled.
  * build: Update to gmobile 0.1.0
  * build: Allow to use shared gmobile.
    This makes it a bit simpler to keep notch information up to date.
  * packaging: Ignore gmobile related files
  * doc: Add --skip-subprojects to install.
    This avoids putting gmobile headers and shared objects into the system.
    Switch to using meson while at it
  * settings: Mark some functions as skip.
    This avoids warnings when creating introspection data
  * doc-check: Be more strict
  * tests/xwayland: Wait a bit.
    Wait until the frame got rendered as we otherwise might snapshot
    the previous frame
  * keyboard: Fix indent of keyboard_execute_compositor_binding
  * desktop: Reindent pointer_constraint helpers.
    We move the g_new0 to it's separate line to not hide an allocation in a
    variable declaration, use casts where appropriate.
  * cursor: Don't unlink constraint_commit twice.
    It's unlinked a couple of lines above already.
  * cursor: Deduplicate pointer motion.
    Absolute and relative motion were doing very similar things but
    differently. Use a single function for the common bits.
  * desktop: Drop duplicate include.
    Fixes: c960805d ("Initial commit")
  * color-rect: Premultiply the alpha value.
    This is how render_pass expects it. Fixup the existing animations using
    alpha for that.
  * color-rect: Don't render if unmapped.
    Otherwise we might end up with changed screen state although the
    rect is unmapped.
  * types: Make it simple to compare colors
  * color-rect: Add setter for color.
    This allows us to use g_notify_by_psepc()
  * color-rect: Allow to set alpha.
    So far we only allowed setting the full color, allow to set
    alpha so we can drive the animation.
  * desktop: Add animation when always-on-top is toggled on/off
  * time-animation: Fix use after free
  * main: Include locale.h.
    Needed for LC_MESSAGES
    Fixes the -Dbuildtype=debug build
  * seat: Make seat-views a queue and private.
    Queues are a bit easier on the eyes.
  * seat: Make has_focus private
  * seat: Reverse window cycle focus order.
    Cycling "backward" now means to focus the view that previously had focus
    while moving forward means to focus the view that was out of focus for
    the longest time.
    With this we correctly focus the last focused view when cycling via
    keyboard shortcuts and then closing a window.
    It also fixes the case where opening an application and cycling backward
    would not get one back to the previous application.
  * main: Include locale.h to fix -Dbuildtype=debug build
  * output: Disconnect render_outputs signal from the correct object.
    Otherwise we might try to access an already gone output in render_cutouts
  * build: Indent by two spaces
  * build: The wlroots library is a subproject wrap.
    Fixes: e9b9ef02 ("build: Use meson wrap for the wlroots submodule")
  * build: Add tests to summary
  * build: Separate generated sources and headers.
    This reduces the  number of build steps from 465 to 222 (when linking
    against a shared wlroots).
  * desktop: Fix typo.
    We're looking at phosh's schema here
  * docs: Expand on configuration.
    Mention where we read configuration from and list the schemas and keys
    phoc currently uses.
.
  [ MoonlightWave-12 ]
  * docs: Update links in README.md.
    The links were outdated and some did not work anymore.
    The link to the documentation for GLib now links directly
    to the relevant part about environment-variables.
    Also add links to the files `debian/control` and
    `src/phoc.ini.example`, to make those easier to open.
  * docs: Update link to libhandy in HACKING.md
    and remove an unused and outdated link.
  * docs: Fix typos in doc/gettingstarted.md.
    Also add a few commas for better readability.
  * docs: Add `./` to commands for running scripts from source-tree.
    To make it clearer that those have to be entered as paths to the scripts.
  * docs: Add more syntax-highlighting
.
  [ Sam Day ]
  * keyboard: Udev configuration for "wakeup keys"
    If a keyboard has an underlying udev device, and that device has
    properties matching PHOC_WAKEUP_KEY_, these properties are used to
    determine whether a particular key (or all keys) from that device will
    trigger activity events or not.
