  * No changes over 0.47~rc1

phoc (0.47~rc1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  * render: Use plain g_warning. This gives us a better error message
  * render: Don't crash when begin buffer pass fails.
    This can happen when e.g. the renderer doesn't find a suitable modifier.
  * render: Use linear modifier.
    The Vulkan renderer isn't happy with invalid and we want a linear layout
    anyway.
  * xdg-surface: Drop needless check for popups. They have their own
    handler
  * xdg-surface: Properly name self
  * output: Drop has_fullscreen_view.
    It is only used in PhocOutput and the `is_mapped` check is
    performed in `scan_out_fullscreen_view()` anyway.
  * desktop: Init output list early.
    This allows us to iterate them
  * desktop: Add helper to iterate all views.
    We will later on switch this to iterate all views on all workspaces thus
    having us leak the workspace details into fewer places.
  * desktop: Use phoc_desktop_for_each_view in handle_layout_change.
    Use the iterator to move all views into valid layout space.
  * desktop: Use phoc_desktop_for_each_view set_auto_maximize.
    Use the iterator to toggle maximize on all views.
  * layer-shell: Use phoc_desktop_for_each_view.
    This also removes a needless output->desktop->maximize indirection.
  * output: Use phoc_desktop_for_each_view.
    Avoid open coding surface iteration. This will allow us to implicitly
    iterate over workspaces.
  * phosh-private: Drop fallback for old libxkbcommon before 0.8.2.
    Debian oldoldstable has 0.8.2.
  * xdg-surface: Destroy object when toplevel role goes away.
    The xdg-surface might be around for longer
    Tested-by: anteater
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/issues/399
  * server: Allow to give Wayland listening socket on the command line.
    This is useful for tests that want a deterministic socket path:
      phoc --socket=whatever
    or
      phoc --socket=/path/to/whatever
  * input-method-relay: Use better naming.
    Name the handler like the methods and the "new" makes it also
    distinguishable from the handler of the created text-inputs /
    input-methods itself.
  * input-method-relay: Print address of new input method.
    Be a bit more helpful when debugging so we can tell different ones
    apart.
  * input-method-relay: Disconnect signals on destroy.
    We should do it anyway and this will trigger an assertion in wlroots
    0.19.x.
  * xdg-surface: Use an xdg-toplevel
    xdg-surfaces can have popup and toplevel roles. This class is concerned
    with the toplevel only.
    We can thus drop the toplevel role checks.
  * xdg-surface: Rename type from XdgSurface to XdgToplevel.
    This renames the GObject type but not yet the source files. We also
    only make minimal changes in e.g. XdgToplevelDecoration.
  * xdg-surfae: Rename source files to xdg-toplevel.
    Done in a separate commit to ease review.
  * xdg-toplevel-decoration: Rename surface to toplevel
  * xdg-popup: Destroy object when role goes away.
    We want to destroy the object when the role goes away rather
    than the underlying xdg-surface.
  * output: Disconnect signals early enough.
    Disconnect in output_destroy to make future wlroots' assertions happy
  * gtk-shell: Disconnect signals earlier.
    Otherwise we assert with newer wlroots.
  * toplevel-decoration: Fix indent
  * toplevel-decoration: Use g_free()
    Just to match the `g_new0`
  * toplevel: Add getter for initialized state
  * toplevel-decoration: Only set mode when initialized.
    Otherwise we assert in `wlr_xdg_surface_schedule_configure` as this
    needs to happen past role commit in wlroots 0.19.x. In wlroots 0.18 this
    avoids the
      [types/xdg_shell/wlr_xdg_surface.c:169] A configure is scheduled for an uninitialized xdg_surface …>
    warning.
    Instead we need to catch up with the set state in XdgToplevel's
    `handle_surface_commit`.
  * main: Allow to disable XWayland.
    We enable it by default so let's have an option to override it.
  * doc: Document --no-xwayland option.
    Add it to the respective manual page
