  * No changes over rc2

phosh-osk-stub (0.47~rc2) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  * schema: Use canonical prefix
  * osk-enums: Add key-indicator feature
  * input-surface: Update features of OSK layout too.
    It's not part of the language layout hash table.
  * tests: Init resources in osk-widget test.
    This will be needed in follow up commits as the osk-widget needs the
    resources for the indicator popover.
  * indicator-popup: New widget to show currently pressed down key.
    As the finger often covers the currently touched character it
    can be helpful to indicate the current key. This popup is meant
    to make that possible.
  * osk-widget: Show indicator popup when enabled.
    When the gsetting is flipped show the indicator popup.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/issues/58
  * completer-base: Complete some special keywords.
    This eases inserting things like current date and time
  * data: Enable keyword completer by default
  * doc: Document keyword completer flag

  * emoji-picker: Use more automatic cleanup
  * completer: Scope loop variable
  * osk-stub: Avoid warning on startup.
    This is only a debugging help
  * tests: Don't use presage specific header.
    The test isn't presage specific
  * tests: Use subdir_done()
    Saves one indent level
  * tests: Depend on schemas.
    Upcoming tests will lookup gsettings
  * presage: Allow to set dictionary directory.
    Useful in tests
  * presage: Return empty string for initial before and after text.
    This makes it consistent with other completers like `pipe`
  * hunspell: Make find_dict public.
    Useful to find out whether we should skip the test
  * packaging: Depend on presage and hunspell.
    We want text2ngram to build a small test corpus for presage and a default
    dictionary for the hunspell completer to init successfully.
    For that to be found we switch the `prefix` used in CI to `/usr`
  * tests: Add smoketests for our completers.
    This makes sure creating the object and accessing the properties
    doesn't raise any criticals and eases testing under valgrind.
    We have presage in a separate test as it needs a bit more setup
    and we want to create more tests later on.
  * completion-bar: Use more horizontal space.
    Disabling `homogeneous` when elements don't allows us to fit
    more elements. If they still don't fit we make things scrollable.
    This avoids ellipsizing elements which makes them hard to read.
  * completion-bar: Reindent ui.  No other changes
  * data: Move schema flags to canonical domain
  * emoji-db: New class to hold emojis
  * osk-stub: Instantiate emoji db.
    This ensures a clear life cycle of the singleton.
  * emoji-picker: Use our emoji singleton.
    No need to track the data in two places.
  * presage: Init resource in tests.
    Will be needed in follow up commits when we lookup emojis
  * completion: Add flags for additional sources
  * completer-base: New base class for completer.
    These can be used to handle common properties. The base
    class is currently "opt-in" (not a requirement of the
    `PosCompleter` interface) but that might change in the future.
  * presage: Check for emojis too by using PosCompleterBase
  * hunspell: Check for emojis too by using PosCompleterBase
  * doc: Document additional completion sources
  * emoji-db: Drop unused property.
    Fixes 39d130241 ("emoji-db: New class to hold emojis")
  * completion-bar: Move completion box to separate widget.
    This will allow us to better deal with size allocations
  * pos-completer-box: Better use available space.
    Make list homogeneous when we have enough space, otherwise
    distribute the available space.
