Detailed changes

phosh (0.30.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * toplevel-manager: Drop set_property. It's unused
  * toplevel-manager: Fix indent
  * toplevel: Fix some indent
  * toplevel: Move _init upwards.
    We have it past _class_init. See HACKING.md.
  * toplevel: Drop initialization.
    They're inited to 0 per default.
  * app-tracker: Drop unused variable
  * data: Add icon for audio-handsfree.
    This happens when e.g. connecting to a car's audio unit. For now we just
    use the plain headset icon. See PA commit
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/commit/28069ef0f74089ae18cefbe7e97d2b920d7ba0cc
    Once we have one in the adwaita-icon theme we can drop the icon here.
  * call-notification: Make sure we always show a phone number when available.
    For calls that don't have an entry in the address book we want to make
    sure we *only* show the phone number and nothing else (not e.g. "Unknown
    Caller") while the reset of the logic (whether to show initials, etc)
    should stay the same.
  * Update gvc submodule.
    This fixes a crash when pa or pipewire-pulse restarts.
  * README: Mention git submodules
  * README: Use meson instead of ninja
  * ci: Give asan suite some more time.
    It passes but needs a bit longer.
  * ci: Speedup unit tests by skipping screenshots.
    We run the screenshot tests anyway so instead of running them twice
    rather merge the test data. This uses less CPU and avoids the testsuite
    sometimes failing because unit tests and screenshot tests step on each
    others toes.
  * lockscreen: Simplify clock css.
    No need to have the class twice
  * lockscreen: Move large clock down a bit.
    WIth the rework we lost a bit of vertical padding. Add this back but
    only when we use the large clock.
    Fixes 515ccf982b9acbd6bae5f97d79fb1115190303f4
  * data: Drop gsd-xsettings from required components.
    The session is very functional without.
    As newer wlroots looks for a surface and there is non it gets
    disconnected when we don't force XWayland to stick around which we don't
    want to.
  * lockscreen: Don't scroll back to clock page while auth is running.
    Going back to the clock page while the auth thread is running is
    confusing for the user. This can happen when pam wants to slow down
    entering a new password for more than 5 seconds.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/968
    Tested-by: Teemu Ikonen
  * gmobile: Update to 0.0.3 This brings support for the FF4's and Poco F1
    notches
.
  [ anteater ]
  * screenshot-manager: Save screenshots at full resolution.
    This has to normalize scale to join monitors, but can at least
    normalize to the largest scale present rather than 1.0.
    Screenshots of any single monitor will be saved at native scale,
    and screenshots spanning multiple monitors will scale them each up
    to the maximum scale of a monitor present in the screenshot.
