phosh (0.52~rc1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * ruff: Set line length.
    This lets
      meson test -C _build/ --suite lint --print-errorlogs
    pass again.
  * build: Bump minimum glib version to 2.80.
    Needed for `g_log_writer_default_set_debug_domains`
  * tests: Use g_log_writer_default_set_debug_domains directly.
    No need to go through a custom implementation
  * shell: Track log domains
  * debug-control: New DBus interface to control debug settings.
    For now we allow to set log levels via DBus. This is similar
    to what we do in phoc.
  * shell: Export debug control interface.
    Allows to set log domains via DBus
  * log: Drop custom log handling.
    Just use glib's default handler, we can set log domains
    via DBus now.
  * tests/integration: Use DBus call instead of timeout.
    Now that we have a DBus interface that is exported once the
    shell is up we can drop the timeout check in favor of a DBus
    call thus speeding up the tests.
  * ambient: Return early when release got cancelled.
    This means `self` is no longer valid so don't try
    to set any values on it.
  * docs: Document Python dbusmock based integration tests
  * docs: Document the screenshot tests
  * plugin-prefs-standalone: Add option to show lockscreen plugins.
    This allows us to specify the plugin type in all cases.
  * plugin-prefs-standalone: Exit gracefully on SIGTERM.
    This allows e.g. coverage information to be written out.
  * test-take-screenshots: Simplify testing one page
  * plugins-prefs: Screenshot upcoming events prefs too
  * test-take-screenshot: Wait for toplevels rather than sleeping.
    Instead of just guessing whether the app started, make sure it's there
    and check when the dialog opened by counting the toplevels.
    We also send keyboard shortcuts more than once so we don't have to worry
    about them being missed because e.g. the old dialog didn't go away yet
    or the window didn't get focus yet.
  * test-take-screenshots: Screenshot quick setting prefs too
  * test-take-screenshots: Wait for OSD to show
  * test-take-screenshots: Introduce context.
    About all functions want a loop, a timer, a keyboard and a waiter.
    Wrap them in one context.
  * test-take-screenshots: Add and remove a keybinding.
    We have the proxy anyway so let's make sure we can do this without
    throwing any criticals.
  * test-take-screenshots: Drop unneeded cast
  * tests/integration: Check for running process later.
    This improve error reporting as we make sure we read the last output
    bits. This is especially useful when phosh fails to start as we'd
    otherwise completely swallow the error message.
  * tests/integration: Check that we detect Wi-Fi networks.
    This exercises more of our Wi-Fi code
  * tests/integration: Check that we detect VPNs.
    Make sure we can detect VPNs without raising criticals
  * dbus: Fix swapped arguments for PhoshIdleDBus.
    Otherwise targets depending only on the headers can get it wrong.
    See https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/jobs/5808582
    Fixes: 6376839df ("build: Separate dbus headers and sources")
  * tests/integration: Build udev mocks manually.
    This will allow us to tweak them in the tests.
  * tests/integration: Test brightness setting
  * brightness-manager: Don't raise brightness on idle.
    When idle dimming is enabled we never want to increase the brightness.
    If current brightness is below target dimming brightness just don't do
    anything.
    Fixes: 57ee80353 ("brightness-manager: Add Brightness DBus interface")
  * tests/integration: Move Wayland socket and runtime dir into a tmpdir.
    This improves test isolation
  * tests/integration: Allow to use keyfile backend.
    We set a separate homedir so we can maintain a custom keyfile and allow
    to pass the settings backend when creating the Phosh object.
  * tests/integration: Load a custom keyfile
  * tests/integration: Load quick settings.
    Load quick settings and check for the hotspot one that it got loaded
  * brightness-manager: Allow to set the adjustment value.
    This makes it simper for other parts of the shell to get and
    set the value avoiding to have to get the adjustment first.
  * brightness-manager: Split out osd handling.
    We'll use it from other places as well
  * brightness-manager: Allow to show the osd.
    Allow to show the OSD when setting the value
  * lockscreen-manager: Add a brightness gesture.
    Two finger swipe left to right increases brightness. The new
    brightness is calculated as offset to the current brightness
    based on the swipe distance.
    This means that if something else sets brightness in the meantime it
    will be overwritten. If we'd just add the difference between two events
    this might be too small to make an actual difference thus increasing the
    brightness too slowly.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/814
  * shell: Don't setup primary monitor handler without one.
    When running nested the window can be closed leaving us without
    a monitor. We shouldn't try to setup any handlers in this case.
  * activity: Fix indent
  * activity: Use _once function for timeout.
    We only run it once. While at that avoid function cast for type
    safety.
  * activity: Drop explicit notify.
    No point in doing so for CONSTRUCT_ONLY properties.
  * activity: Minimize set_property.
    We don't want to have any logic within the `switch` so simplify
    things like we do it in other classes.
  * activity: Clarify set_thumbnail.
    It is transfer full. Make that more obvious by moving the thumbnail
    setting to the top too and adding a doc string.
  * overview: Remove unused headers
  * overview: Simplify has-activities settings.
    Set it in a single place and based on the widgets in the carousel.
    No point in counting toplevels.
  * app-tracker: Avoid casts
  * splash: Modernize.
    Avoid function casts, fix indent.
    No functional change.
  * toplevel-thumbnail: Remove superfluous cast
  * toplevel-thumbnail: Modernize property definition
  * toplevel-thumbnail: Use correct parent class.
    The parent class is PhoshThumbnail not GObject
    Fixes: 58d280ba2 ("Introduce PhoshThumbnail and PhoshToplevelThumbnail")
  * toplevel-thumbnail: Don't assume specific parent class.
    Use `PHOSH_THUMBNAIL_CLASS` to get the class as we do it elsewhere
    to set the vfuncs.
  * toplevel-thumbnail: Use canonical naming
    `self` is the instance of the current type (like everywhere else in
    phosh) while we name the parent class type ones consistently
    `thumbnail`. The code was a mix of both before with hard to read
    casts.
  * toplevel-thumbnail: No need to chain properties up to parent class.
    GObject does that for us.
  * toplevel-thumbnail: Remove unused headers
  * thumbnail: Remove superfluous implementations.
    They're completely empty
  * thumbnail: Unclutter ready handling.
    Lots of indirection to set a boolean. Just use the common pattern
    where the derived classes set the property on the parent so we save
    two vfuncs.
  * thumbnail: Remove set_property.
    Superfluous for read-only properties.
  * battery-manager: New class to track battery and charging.
    Needed to move things out of `PhoshBatteryInfo`
    Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/meta-phosh/-/issues/25
  * shell: Allow to instantiate battery manager
  * battery-info: Name source file properly.
    We use a `-` between words. Another reminiscence from the early days
    cleaned up.
  * battery-info: Use PhoshBatteryManager.
    This avoids having multiple upower clients around.
  * tests/integration: Allow to save DBus traffic.
    This can be helpful to figure out if a message was actually sent
  * integration-test: Test battery manager.
    Test that the battery manager picks up charging related changes
    correctly.
  * util: Unify panel launching.
    This reduces the code and we also pass on platform data for proper
    activation. We'll reuse `phosh_util_activate_action` in other places
    too.
  * util: Pass platform data when launching panels.
    This ensures the app is brought to the foreground if already running.
  * overview: Use g_type_ensure() to ensure types
  * overview: Install properties.
    As we only connect to the notify signal noone noticed.
  * overview: Connect notify::has-focus with the others
  * overview: Connect activity signal with the others.
    Although we strictly don't need overview here we'll do so
    at some later point and also check there's a toplevel (which
    will also be useful later too).
  * overview: Use `g_connect_object`
    Reads a bit better here.
  * overview: Simplify connecting to toplevel_manager
  * overview: Bind app-grid signal via UI template.
    Less to worry about
  * overview: Connect carousel signal handlers via UI file.
    Less to worry about.
  * swipe-away-bin: Fix indent
  * app-grid: Move declaration to the top.
    This is borderline but as we can better indent the
    criteria let's do it.
  * app-grid: Use type checked cast.
    This is no performance critical path
  * app-grid: Simplify app search focus handling.
    Use `gm_str_is_null_or_empty()` and  `phosh_util_toggle_style_class()`
  * splash-manager: Use G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS
  * layout-manager: Avoid gmobile deprecation.
    We don't take the effort to handle different radii as with
    xdg-cutouts-v1¹ (adjusted for layer surfaces) we'll get the correct radii
    without having to worry about screen transforms.
    ¹) https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/372
  * torch-info: Always use 100% brightness if torch can't scale.
    If the torch can't scale brightnes we want to show 100% indepent
    from any min and max brightness set via udev.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1293
  * lockscreen: Ignore gesture when user wants to zoom.
    This allows zoom to work in the ticket box again.

  * upcoming-events: Use GListStore to store event lists.
    We replace the use of `GPtrArray` with a
    `GListStore` as we can then use it in
    combination with a `GtkFilterListModel`.
  * upcoming-events: Use GtkFilterListModel to filter empty days.
    Additionally make `events_box` a `GtkListBox` instead
    so as to bind it to the filtered model.
  * upcoming-events: Add CSS class for PhoshEventList listbox.
    Allows us to keep styling separate for event-list
    listbox and events listbox.
