Detailed changes

phosh (0.40.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * build: Install headers and shared lib for Rust binding generation.
    This allows to install headers, pkgconfig file and shared library to
    create Rust bindings.
    We create a unified header pulling in (almost) all headers so they can
    be consumed by just including libphosh.h freeing binding generators from
    having to keep up with added/removed headers.
    As installing these files is used for binding generation only atm we
    make it depend on a new 'binding-lib' meson options.
    These files are not (yet) meant as public interface so if using these
    make sure to bundle libphosh with your project.
  * ci: Trigger libphosh-rs build.
    We only do this on commits to RUST_BINDINGS_BRANCH (default main) and if
    src/ changes.
    The branch triggered downstream is also RUST_BINDINGS_BRANCH. This makes
    it simple to work on pipeline changes.
  * resources: Sort ui files alphabetically
  * wwan-mm: Add present and enabled properties to get_property.
    Fixes 1a75bcb48 ("wwan-mm: Handle 'enabled' property")
    Fixes 3a0e8eab6 ("wwan: Report modem presence")
  * wwan-mm: Modernize property change emission.
    Use the faster by_pspec variant. Shorten property names while at that.
  * settings: Drop superfluous wifi_status_page
  * settings: Use property binding for wifi's has-status
  * settings: Use explicit notify for on-lockscreen.
    This toggles multiple things so let's reduce the work done here.
  * settings: Drop on_shell_locked.
    We can do the work when setting the property.
  * wifi-manager: Use automatic cleanup.
    This way we don't need to cast away `const` either.
  * wifi-manager: Drop len variable.
    Using ap_cnx->len directly make it a tiny bit more obvious which
    length were' looking at.
  * main: Instantiate shell after the needed objects.
    The shells object construction needs the Wayland object and the
    background manager.
    Fixes: 1bb5c8c63 ("shell: Allow shell singleton to be overidden")
  * service: Adjust oom score.
    This avoids the shell getting killed early in tight memory scenarios.
    While at that tweak the restart behavior.
  * session: Drop rootston.ini fallback.
    This is from long gone times
  * treewide: Drop support for --builtin session fallback.
    Always use systemd as gnome 46's gnome-session doesn't support anything
    else. Thanks dhjg2000 for figuring this out
  * build: Remove thumbnail from tool sources.
    We stub it so it should be in the classes not available to tools.
  * tests: Move stubs into their own lib.
    Preventing the rebuild of the stub sources for all tools and unit
    tests brings down the number of targets to build by another 25%
    (1184 before vs 885 now).
  * tests: Test command line options.
    We can test the options that exit early making sure they don't break
    accidentally.
  * wwan-manager: Split out wwan connection type comparison.
    Will be used in a follow up commit
  * wwan-manager: Add helper to (de)activate a data connection.
    For that we add a helper to track the last active connection. This
    allows us to check if there is a data connection available at all and
    which one is the last active.
  * data: Add mobile data icons.
    Self sketeched and optimized with svgo.
  * plugins: Add mobile data toggle.
    This allows to toggle mobile data on/off. The plugin is marked inactive
    if thre's no mobile data connection configured.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/691
  * data: Use mobi domain for override file
  * data: Make all overrides phosh specific
  * data: Unlock SIM by default
  * data: Disable ambient light adjustments by default.
    The current algorithm confuses people on phones. We want to tweak that
    in g-s-d before enabling it by default.
  * data: Let g-s-d do nothing on power button press.
    Phosh handles it.
  * data: Add Firefox ESR and TextEditor to adaptive apps.
    We assume that FF uses mobileconfig and TextEditor adapts nicely
  * data: Set default idle-delay to 60 seconds.
    It's more suitable than the defualt 5 minutes.
  * background-manager: Don't try to get background for zero size.
    Otherwise we crash on gnome_bg_slide_show_get_slide on e.g. 0 width or
    height.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1069
  * background: Avoid update when the layer surface isn't configured yet.
    Otherwise we might feed bogus values to GnomeBg.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1069

  * power-menu-manager: Sort actions alphabetically
  * power-menu-manager: Listen for locked instead of shell state changes.
    This triggers less often.
  * power-menu: Add a property to show a suspend button.
    If `TRUE` the suspend button is used. Otherwise the `power off` button
    is shown.
  * power-menu-manager: Allow to suspend from power menu.
    If suspend is allowed we show the suspend action rather then disabling
    the power off button.
    This makes the power button menu more useful on the lock screen. And
    since it's a non-destructive action there's no issue with allowing it.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/990
  * top-panel: Don't show lock and menu button when locked.
    They have no purpose and are hence thus confusing.
  * screen-saver-manager: Half the long press timeout.
    This should still be long enough to not trigger it accidentally.
  * screen-saver-manager: Emit button-pressed feedback on long press.
    This gives some haptic feedback when the even triggers
  * screenshot-manager: Wire up screenshot keybinding.
    Defaults to <shift><printscreen>
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/931
  * shell-manager: Simplify version setting.
    No need to override the r/o property. We just need to set it once.
  * shell-manager: Implement OverviewActive property.
    This implements another property from that interface and helps
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1068
  * main: Use G_NORETURN. Makes clang happy
  * main: Use automatic cleanup for err
  * tools/custom-quick-setting: Accept list of plugins to show.
    This allows to skip plugins the e.g. need the shell singleton
  * tools/custom-quick-setting: Use newline when printing plugin name
  * tools/custom-quick-setting: Top align flowbox.
    This avoids vexpanding the quick settings itself.
  * plugins/dark-mode: Add and use dark-mode-disabled icon
  * app-tracker: Always extract pid
  * app-tracker: Add cancellable.
    We do this with other DBus calls, so do the same here too.
  * app-tracker: Move launched processes to transient systemd scope.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/963
  * launcher-item: Add has-data property.
    This is TRUE when count or progress should be shown. It will be used to
    toggle the visibility of the box displaying the data.
  * launcher-row: Use width-request for status information.
    With that we can align to the row's end as otherwise the items
    look out of place.
    In order to not truncate longer descriptions we only make the status
    information box visible when needed.
  * docs: Add note about DBus helpers in the tools/ directory
  * tests: Add mock for ModemManager and NetworkManager.
    This is helpful to test mobile data and other features on devices
    without a modem
    Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1051
  * tests: Add checks for python helpers.
    This will be reused when we use python based tests that run the mocks.
    We use black and ruff or flake8 so devs have some leeway (e.g. ruff
    isn't in Debian testing atm).
  * doc: Mention NetworkManager and ModemManager DBus mock.
    This way it's hopefully found.
  * settings: Set default sound theme.
    When installed this gives us improved sounds for incoming messages and
    calls.
  * plugins/dark-mode: Update icons.
    The moon is overloaded and dark mode isn't only for the night.
    This dark mode icon was suggested by Sam Hewitt.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1071
  * media-player: Don't dim unsensitive button.
    Fixes: 042c0f464 ("Add media-player widget") which got broken by
           d79a379d5 ("style: Unified the button styles")
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1073
  * libphosh: Drop wwan-backend.h.
    Fixes: bdcb925c6 ("enums: Introduce single header file to gather all enums")
  * build: Prefix library include dir.
    Use a lib_ prefix to distinguish this form paths we use for headers used
    by plugins and tools that supplement the actual shell.
  * build: Add dependency on phosh-settings.
    We want the header (and don't want to duplicate it)
  * build: Set a soname for the shared library.
    We use the project version underscored droping micro revisions.
  * build: Use a relative path to the enum headers.
  * ci: Check 'meson dist'
    We've been hitting tiny nits before release ever so often. Avoid these.
.
  [ Sam Day ]
  * shell: Make PhoshShell a derivable type.
    Since this type is meant to be consumed by downstream libphosh
    consumers, a bunch of vtable space is reserved for future expansion.
  * shell: Allow shell singleton to be overidden.
    This follows the pattern first established with
    phosh_wall_clock_set_default.
    This allows libphosh consumers to override the default shell singleton
    with a custom subclass.
  * lockscreen: Make PhoshLockscreen a derivable type.
    Since this type is meant to be consumed by downstream libphosh
    consumers, a bunch of vtable space is reserved for future expansion.
  * lockscreen: Support construction of custom type
    phosh_lockscreen_new now requires a GType parameter that should be a
    type that derives from PhoshLockscreen (or is PhoshLockscreen itself).
    This functionality is not fully exposed yet. PhoshLockscreenManager is
    just passing a hardcoded PHOSH_TYPE_LOCKSCREEN to phosh_lockscreen_new.
  * shell: Allow lockscreen type to be customized.
    A virtual function is added to PhoshShell to determine which lockscreen
    type should be constructed. PhoshLockscreenManager consumes this vfunc
    via phosh_shell_get_lockscreen_type.
    This change makes it possible for libphosh consumers to use a custom
    lockscreen, exposed through their custom shell type.
  * ci: Add "startup test" job.
    This job runs the main app entry point, and confirms that the shell
    startup signal handler is reached.

    'default' and 'prefer-dark' with a quick setting button.

  [ Antonio Marin ]
  * Update Romanian translation

  [ Arun Mani J ]
  * app-grid-folder-button: Force 16px as icon size.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1072
  * app-grid-folder-button: Force pixel size of 24px.

  [ Yosef Or Boczko ]
  * Update Hebrew translation
.
  [ Danial Behzadi ]
  * Update Persian translation
.
  [ Gotam Gorabh ]
  * enums: Introduce single header file to gather all enums.
    The aim is to allow phosh-mobile-settings to use these to map GSettngs values.
    This will bring all the enums into a single header file to tackle duplicacy as well.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1036
