Detailed changes

phosh (0.51.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Artur S0 ]
  * Update Russian translation
.
  [ Evangelos Ribeiro Tzaras ]
  * subprojects: Switch to libcall-ui 0.1.5.
    We have a tagged version now.
.
  [ Antonio Marin ]
  * Update Romanian translation
.
  [ Rudra Pratap Singh ]
  * caffeine-quick-setting: Add plugin preferences.
    We now have 'caffeine-quick-setting-prefs'
    preferences that allow one to add or remove
    caffeine intervals.
  * caffeine-prefs: Add empty-state for no intervals
  * caffeine: Close status page on selecting interval
  * caffeine-quick-setting: Activate timer on selecting interval
.
  [ Martin ]
  * Update Slovenian translation
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * caffeine-quick-setting: Make prefs dialog follow content size.
    Otherwise in bottom sheet mode adding new rows doesn't make the dialog
    resize and the user doesn't see the new rows.
  * backlight: Allow to force non linear backlight scale.
    Add a debug flag that allows us to assume the backlight uses
    a non-linear scale. This is meant for situations where the
    kernel information is incorrect.
  * tests/integration: Use pixman renderer.
    Our udev mocks confuse wlroots when trying to get a render node
    otherwise
  * ci: Use our pytest runner.
    This avoids duplicating env vars in multiple places
  * tests/integration: Allow to launch Phosh under a wrapper.
    Can be used for udev mocks or valgrind
  * tests/integration: Mock and test torch and backlight.
  * caffeine/prefs: Make empty state compact.
    It's for a dialog, not a main window
  * torch-manager: Don't return 0 when torch is on.
    This makes it simpler for UI elements to display a sane value. 0% with
    the LED still on looks confusing and we require
    GM_TORCH_MINIMUM_BRIGHTNESS to indicate a still visible LED brightness.
.
  [ Yuri Chornoivan ]
  * Update Ukrainian translation
.
  [ Ekaterine Papava ]
  * Update Georgian translation
.
  [ Danial Behzadi ]
  * Update Persian translation
.
  [ Robert Eckelmann ]
  * torch-manager: Add minimum brightness.
    We get it from udev when available and fall back to 5% of maximum
    brightness otherwise.
    The udev rule to provide minimum brightness overrides via hwdb is
    shipped in gmobile.
  * settings: Drop minimum brightness.
    This is now handeld by torch manager
.
  [ Sabri Ünal ]
  * Update Turkish translation
.
phosh (0.51~rc1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Rudra Pratap Singh ]
  * upcoming-events: Show appropriate status page in case of no events.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1255
    Fixes: 6614bbd39 ("upcoming-events: Add new setting for skipping non-event days")
  * upcoming-events: Reindent UI file
  * caffeine: Add libcall-ui as dependency
  * caffeine: Refactor icon names into defines.
    No functional change.
  * caffeine: Allow to select caffeine duration.
    With this, we add support for custom intervals
    in caffeine. It will decide how long caffeine
    will stay on for. Intervals can be added/selected
    individually via gsettings keys.
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * layout-manager: Don't forget to init corner shift.
    This ensures we have the correct default in case of no rounded corners.
  * top-panel: Shift gear icon according to corner shift
  * top-panel: Drop `name` property.
    Fixes the
       (phosh:1106322): Gtk-WARNING **: 17:26:18.095: GtkBox does not have a child property called name
    warning on startup.
    Fixes: b567c6ed3 ("top-panel: Add gear button")
  * doc: Use apt instead of apt-get. Let's be modern here.
  * screenshot: Update screenshot. Let's be at least as recent as Wikipedia.
  * ci: Update shared scripts to 7aa7dc1
  * treewide: Update my copyright assignment. Let's use the fiduciary agreement.
  * ambient: Avoid cast. This gives us more type safety
  * ambient: Rename settings to schema.
    The later is more wide spread
  * udev: Handle fake-builtin debug flag. If set assume that the found
    displays are built-in. This allows to test backlight handling in
    nested sessions.
  * auto-brightness: Add interface for turning ambient into display brightness
  * auto-brightness: Add bucket implementation.
    This implementation uses buckets to determine the
    brightness level.
  * shell: Create ambient manager earlier.
    We'll need it for the brightness manager which gets created
    with the panels. We also add a getter.
  * ambient: Track whether display brightness should be adjusted.
    If so emit the ambient brightness values so other parts of the shell can
    consume them.
  * ambient: Track automatic high-contrast.
    Avoids dconf lookups and is a bit easier to read
  * brightness-manager: Track ambient brightness changes.
    When enabled we adjust the backlight brightness according
    to the auto-brightness trackers output.
  * data: Add auto-brightness-symbolic icon.
    I wanted to draw my own but then accidentally found one by
    Jakub Steiner in org.gnome.design.IconLibrary.
  * brightness-manager: Expose auto-brightness-enabled.
    This allows users of the brightness manager to use it
    without having to care about e.g. the ambient manager.
  * settings: Use different icon when autobrightness is in use
  * emergency-calls: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * emergency-calls-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    This gives us more type safety
  * build: Allow to codegen object manager too
  * calls: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * calls-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    This exposed a real bug where the data argument used the
    wrong type (but was unused).
  * calls: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    Gives us more type safety
  * location-manager: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * location-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    Gives us more type safety
  * session-manager: Use default DBus prefix for `ClientPrivate`
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * session-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    Gives us more type safety.
  * session-presence: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * osk-manager: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * osk-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    This gives us more type safety.
  * rfkill-manager: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * rfkill-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    This gives us more type safety.
  * mpris: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
  * mpris-manager: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    This gives us more type safety.
  * mpris-player: Use correct types for async callbacks.
    This gives us more type safety.
  * background-manager: Avoid criticals when monitor goes away first.
    We emit a critical when the monitor goes away before the layer-surface.
    However that doesn't really matter to us so make it a debug message.
  * audio-devices: Ignore role loopbacks.
    Users shouldn't switch to the media role loopback devices
  * location-manager: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
    In this case everything get a lot shorter as the `interface_prefix`
    didn't match and we thus had the full `org_freedesktop` in all the
    names.
  * notify-manager: Use default DBus prefix.
    This allows us to move to `dbus_client_protos` so our generated header
    gets added to `generated_dbus_headers` instead of
    `generated_dbus_sources`.
    In this case everything get a lot shorter as the `interface_prefix`
    didn't match and we thus had the full `org_freedesktop` in all the
    names.
  * build: Separate dbus headers and sources.
    The idle monitor needs an object manager. Moving it into
    dbus_server_protos would create one with a `PhoshDBus`
    prefix clashing with the one from `org.gnome.Calls.Call`
    so keep it separate for now but split headers and
    sources already. (Closes: #1276)
  * ambient: Improve readability.
    Get the proxy ones instead of producing overly long cast lines
  * ambient: Guard against `NULL` unit
    g_ascii_strcasecmp() doesn't handle that gracefully and it happens
    e.g. on laptops after resume.
  * ambient: Handle settings changes in a one place.
    Otherwise it is harder to determine if we should claim the sensor
    base on auto-hc and auto-brightness settings.
  * ambient: Reclaim sensor on unblank.
    The current code didn't necessarily do this.
  * ambient: Simplify claim / unclaim callbacks.
    Avoid the casts, bumping readability and making claim and unclaim more
    alike
  * ambient: Release sensor more thorougly.
    Otherwise we don't reclaim. In order to avoid overlapping calls
    of claim and release clearing the flag we make it a counter instead
    of a plain boolean.
  * ambient: Separate HighContrast handling from ambient.
    This makes is easier to invoke it from multiple places. We e.g.
    forgot to stop sampling when the sensor went away.
  * auto-brightness-bucket: Only notify when index changes.
    No need to emit the signal if it didn't and thus brightness
    wouldn't change.
  * backlight: Allow to get brightness levels.
    Will be used in the next commit
  * brightness-manager: Use brightness transition.
    This makes brightness changes less noticeable
  * ci: Drop gstyle check.
    It fails on contrib code that we don't want to modify.
  * media-player: Move media loading to separate function
  * media-player: Don't reload cover art if the URL didn't change.
    Players like kasts trigger a whole lot of meta data updates grinding
    devices like the Librem 5 to halt when loading the icon.
  * brightness-manager: End transition immediately when disabled.
    When the user toggles automatic brightness off we want to end the
    transition right away.
    Fixes: f50546254 ("brightness-manager: Track ambient brightness changes")
  * brightness-manager: Trigger auto brightness transition when enabled.
    Always trigger an auto-brightness transition when enabled. In dark
    environments the ambient sensor might not put out a new value but
    we still want to transition right away when the user enables it.
    Fixes: f50546254 ("brightness-manager: Track ambient brightness changes")
  * brightness-manager: Use relative brightness for keybindings too.
    Instead of calculating based on the brightness range use relative
    brightness and the number of levels the hardware supports.
  * brightness-manager: Use adjustment range [0.0, 1.0]
    This is what we use for the backlights and there's nothing
    gained when we convert to percentage.
  * brightness-manager: Allow to get auto-brightness-enabled
  * backlight: Track scale.
    This allows to track whether the backlight exposes a linear
    or exponential scale.
  * backlight: Use anonymous struct.
    Better groups the variables
  * backlight: Separate backlight level from exposed brightness.
    When we want the brightness curve to be non-linear be need two
    values: those exposed to the user facing side and those values
    actually set in the hardware (called `level`s).
    We do the split here but use a linear mapping only. This will
    change in the next commits.
  * backlight: Use logarithmic scale.
    If the backlight type is unknown or linear we use a logarithmic
    scale to match the human eye's brightness perception, see
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber%E2%80%93Fechner_law
    This lets the brightness slider in settings appear linear over the
    whole scale instead of doing almost nothing in the upper half.
  * brightness-manager: Make slider an offset when auto-brightness is on.
    With autobrightness enabled we want the brightness slider to be an
    offset to the auto brightness target rather than the actual brightness.
  * brightness-manager: Update autobrightness on monitor changes
  * brightness-settings: Remove origin when auto-brightness is enabled.
    As this is an offset now we don't want to draw the origin part
    Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/meta-phosh/-/issues/19
  * brightness-settings: Use icon.
    This makes it consistent with the audio settings
  * brightness-manager: Provide a suitable icon based on current state.
    Similar to other managers provide an icon-name based on the current
    state (auto-brightness enabled or not). We need that for the OSD and can
    then reuse it in other parts of the shell.
  * brightness-settings: Use brightness-manager's icon-name property
  * ci: Update to forky
  * libcall-ui: Update to latest 0.1.x branch.
    Avoids clang build failures
  * plugins: Avoid warning when copying symlinks.
    Otherwise we might end up copying the symlink with newer meson. We
    need to bump the minimum meson version for that.
    Fixes: fda76c376 ("mobile-data: Install icon to user's filesystem")
  * doap: Drop Zander.  Not active since several years. Thanks Zander for
    your work!
  * doap: Add Arun
  * wifi-manager: Fix log domain
  * ci: Use headless backend for integration tests.
    No need to have the tests guess
  * tests/integration: Specify Wayland socket.
    That is more reliable than parsing it from the output
  * tests/integration: Don't always close stdout.
    This allows us to parse phosh's output
  * tests/integration: Ease output checking.
    Allow tests to access phosh's output more easily.
    They can specify if the check should fail when the searched for string
    is already present.
  * tests/integration: Allow to tweak phosh's environment.
    This allows to e.g. set logging levels without polluting `os.environ`.
  * tests/integration: Simplify running pytests locally.
    Setting the env vars can be cumbersome so make it as simple as
  * tests/integration: Make is simple to save test logs
  * tests: Lint Phosh helper too
  * ci: Use pixman renderer for integration tests. Avoids criticals.
  * tests/integration: Disable XWayland.
    We don't need it in CI
  * tests/integration: Add initial system service test.
    We interact with quiet a bit of system services but don't exercise this
    in the tests so far. Make sure we at least look for a modem.
  * tests/integration: Allow phoc to exit cleanly.
    We handle `SIGTERM` gracefully nowadays so allow for that too.
  * ci: Set default build opts.  No need to set them on jobs individually
  * ci: Minimize script sections.  We move the variable setting to
    `variables:`
  * ci: Use phoc 0.51~rc1
  * ci: Collect junit reports from tests run by meson as well
