Detailed changes

phosh (0.53.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * portal: Use Rust based GUI variants by default. We want to drop the C
    variants so let's switch.
  * gvc: Update to latest upstream commit. We landed another bugfix, let's
    grab it
.
  [ Álvaro Burns ]
  * Update Brazilian Portuguese translation
.
  [ Quentin PAGÈS ]
  * Update Occitan translation

phosh (0.53~rc1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Efstathios Iosifidis ]
  * Update Greek translation
.
  [ Antonio Marin ]
  * Update Romanian translation
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * run: Use plugin_schema_path.
    We have it already so no need to maintain it in two locations
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1298o
  * util: Allow to activate without actions
  * util: Make platform-data helpers public.  We'll use them for
    notifications
  * util: Determine object path automatically.
    Code taken from xdg-desktop-portal-phosh
  * notification: Activate applications when sending notifications.
    We activate the app and send the signal.
    Should our heuristic to determine the bus name fail to work well we
    can send `org.freedesktop.Notifications.ActivationToken` in
    `on_app_activated` as a future improvement.
    Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/852
  * doc: Document missing plugin schema entries
  * brightness-manager: Use _ID for schema consistently.
    No point in having one schema with that suffix and the other without it.
  * brightness-manager: Use faster up interval.
    The human eye adjust to brightness gains more rapidly.
  * backlight: Round backlight level.
    This gives us more precise values than integer cutoff.
  * brightness-manager: Simplify ending the transition
  * brightness-manager: Smoothen brightness transition.
    Use smoothstep to make things look less jittering
  * monitor-manager: Add night light temperature property.
    This allows us to track whether it is in use
  * brightness-manager: Add additional factor when night light is on.
    Night light reduces contrast as the eye is less susceptible to contrast
    in the red spectrum. Lets make the display a bit brighter in those
    cases.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1292
  * brightness-manager: Drop schema check.  We can assume the 49 schema
    now.
  * brightness-manager: Add auto-brightness offset.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1297
  * util: Fix indent.
    Gbp-dch: Ignore
  * app-tracker: Fix indent.
    We shorten a variable name and add get the shell variable in an extra
    step for readability.
  * app-list-model: Allow app-info lookup by recently launched executable.
    The shell is usually used to launch apps so when launching remember the
    executable. This will allow us look up app-info by exectable.
    This is useful for DBus activated apps too as they still usually `Exec`
    have an exec line in the desktop file.
  * audio-manager: Manage audio devices.
    Track the input and output audio devices
  * audio-settings: Use audio-devices and mixer control from audio-manager.
    This will allow us to use audio devices outside settings
  * audio-devices: Move out of settings.
    They're used in the audio manager now
  * channel-bar: Use proper namespace.
    It's a widget in Phosh so use that namespace. This also removes some
    confusion between the gvc submodule and our internal widget.
  * channel-bar: Rename source files.
    Do that in an extra commit to ease review
  * audio-settings: Avoid channel-bar casts.
    Just use the most specific type right away.
  * audio-settings: Avoid pointless cast
  * channel-bar: Remove unused defines
  * audio-devices: Use type.
    We used gpointer to not leak it into libphosh but the library
    is more self contained nowadays.
  * overview: Use common pattern for find_activity_by_toplevel()
    Return early from the loop instead of breaking and make the `l->data`
    assignment the first thing in the loop.
    Also make sure `g_autoptr ()` is always initialized.
    Again fewer lines with easier to read code.
  * overview: Use most specific type for carousel.
    Avoids the long casts
  * activity: Just use `MIN`
    No need to open code this.
  * activity: Use phosh_util_toggle_style_class consistently.
    We use it to remove the class, use it for adding it too
  * shell: Create splash manager earlier.
    We want to use it from the overview so it has to be there with the
    panels.
  * shell: Allow to get splash manager
  * swipe-tracker: Allow to disable swipes
  * splash: Allow to lower/raise the splash
  * splash-manager: Allow to lower all splashs and to raise base on startup-id
  * overview: Use splash colors instead of fake app.
    The fake app wasn't very useful. Use the splash screen
    colors instead.
  * activity: Show spinner when we don't have a thumbnail.
    Add a spinner and show it when we don't have a thumbnail of the
    application yet.
  * activity: Disable swipe and close button while app is loading.
    We can't stop it sensibly atm.
  * activity: Try harder to get an app-id
  * overview: Show activity for launching apps.
    This gives the user feedback that the app is launching.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/647
  * overview: Add splash manager
  * overview: Raise and lower launch splashs.
    When activating a splash we raise it to the top, when activating
    an activity we lower all splashs so the app becomes visible.
    This is not the ideal place to do it as it doesn't concernt the overview
    but we track the toplevels here only atm (see
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/327)
    Helps: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/812
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/813
  * overview: Use light mode based on what the splash manager does.
    We won't switch when the user flips the theme during launch but
    that's o.k. for the moment.
  * activity: Render empty state only on drawing area.
    This makes the thumbnail look more like the app
  * activity: Use slightly rounded corners
  * phosh-session: Drop disable-acceleration-check.
    It is a noop nowadays
  * phosh-session: Avoid the extra shell exec
    gnome-session handles that for us
  * phosh-session: Use name variable.
    This ensures we don't accidentally clash with something set
    in the environment
  * media-player: Avoid nan when track length is empty.
    Zero track length (as happens with gapless) can lead to -NAN
    which trips up the progress bar. Use 0.0 in that case.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1287
  * brightness-manager: Skip brightenss update.
    We can skip the brightness update on night light changes when
    auto brightness is disabled.
  * lockscreen: Sort callbacks alphabetically
  * lockscreen: Use two finger swipe gesture for brightness.
    This works better then trying to fit a zoom gesture. Move
    to the UI file while at that.
    Fixes: 336929ca4 ("lockscreen: Ignore gesture when user wants to zoom")
    Co-authored-by: Arun Mani J <j.arunmani@proton.me>
  * packaging: Update dependencies.
    We need recent schema to start successfully. Drop an ancient
    conflict on calls and require stevia so we always have a working
    OSK (user can still switch ofc).
  * docs: Mention UsesNotifications.
    This is is similar to UsesFeedback.
  * gvc: Switch back to blessed repo.
    Most of our patches are in. The leak fix is still missing but hopefully
    we get that soon.
    Update to 664eba4 ("mixer-control: Document that add_stream is transfer full")
  * overview: Ignore missing activity.
    When an app failed to start and we can't find a matching
    activity that is usually because it crashed or exited
    already. Avoid a critical in that case.
  * toplevel-manager: Drop super-cautious checks.
    The pointer arrays are created in init and never unref'ed or
    free'd until dispose so no need to check this every call.
  * overview: Drop unused arguments from signal handler.
    No need to check types we never use
  * toplevel-manager: Track launched apps.
    When an app is reporting that it launced we track its app-id
    and wait for a matching toplevel in toplevel-manager. When
    that doesn't happen in time, we send out a signal.
  * overview: Remove splash if we never get a toplevel.
    In the unlikely case that we don't see a toplevel from a launched
    app, remove the splash when toplevel-manager tells us that the
    toplevel will likely never show up.

  * polkit-auth-prompt: Uncrustify
  * polkit-auth-prompt: Display more information about user.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1229
.
  [ Rudra Pratap Singh ]
  * top-panel: Add a common parsing function for panel options.
    This way, we can keep the parsing in
    sync for both mobile and non mobile panels.
  * top-panel: Make panel launching actions take parameters.
    Instead of a string we use (sav) parameter type
    so we can pass additional parameters.
  * util: Allow to open settings panel with additional parameters.
    We add a second parameter to
    `phosh_util_open_mobile_settings_panel`, allowing
    one to send panel options alongside. The panel
    name and options can then be packed to remotely
    activate settings app accordingly.
  * caffeine-quick-setting: Allow to open prefs via mobile settings.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1280

  * Update Georgian translation

  [ Anders Jonsson ]
  * Update Swedish translation
.
  [ Sabri Ünal ]
  * Update Turkish translation
.
  [ AJ Dunevent ]
  * device-row: Use 'alias' instead of 'name' for device display.
    The 'alias' property is preferred as it contains user-defined names
    while falling back to the hardware name if no alias is set.  Stays
    consistent with other UI elements, similar environments, etc.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1300
.
  [ Artur S0 ]
  * Update Russian translation
.
phosh (0.52.1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  * gvc: Handle port changes on streams.
    Use a gvc version that handles an existing stream replacing its
    active port.
    This works with pipewire 1.5.84 and wireplumber 0.5.13
