Detailed changes

phosh (0.32.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * session: Warn on deprecated rootston.ini.  This way we can remove it in
    the future
  * phosh-session: Allow to include a .phoshdebug.
    This allows to set e.g. G_MESSAGES_DEBUG or the path to a phoc.ini
    independent from how phoc is started (command line, display manager,
    systemd unit).
  * docs: Mention phoc configuration file
  * notification: Link to the official spec
  * notifications: Merge comments
  * notification: Add profile property.
    This will be used to store the feedback profile level for the feedback
    event associated with this notification.
  * notify-feedback: Adjust feedback profile based on notification.
    This allows the notification to lower (or skip) the event
    feedback noisiness.
  * notify-manager: Honor x-phosh-fb-profile hint.
    Allowed values are feedback profile levels from the Feedback Profile
    Spec and `none` to indicate: omit all feedback.
    This is somewhat similar to the `suppress-sound` hint of the fdo spec.
  * tools: Add category and profile to notification tool
  * docs: Add some hints for application developers.  Document some mobile
    specific extensions.
  * docs: Document additional notification hint
  * docs: Mention that we prefer a "recipe" style git commit history
  * docs: Add some more common patterns
  * docs: Add a merge request check list
  * feedback-manager: Don't access lfb if not inited.
    Otherwise libfeedback asserts.
  * feedback-manager: Add more type checks
  * notification-feedback: Guard against unitted libfeedback
.
  [ Keegan Sabo ]
  * app-grid: Hide separator when there are no favorites.
    Hide the favorites separator if there are no favorites.
