When promisifying async operations in commit 764527c8c, the
finish function for read_line_async() was sneakily changed from
read_line_finish_utf8() to read_line_finish().
That is, the call returns a Uint8Array now that requires an
explicit conversion to string.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1407
Since gjs moved to mozjs60, return values of int8_t arrays can
no longer be treated as strings. We originally made the conversion
conditional to keep working with the (then) stable gjs release.
That was two years ago and we require a more recent gjs nowadays,
so there's no good reason for keeping the old code path.

When handing the resetDialog request we're leaving a source ID alive,
leading this error:

Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

In telepathyClient we consider messages both Tpl.TextEvents and
Tpl.Messages, and we manually create JS objects to copy the properties we
care for each one. This may lead to objects not matching the interface we
want.
Instead, use an object with construct-only properties and two factory static
methods to initialize it.
Unfortunately we need to use the ChatMessageClass for the class name or
calling the static methods would trigger a gjs error as per [1].

Doing blocking IO in a graphical UI is bad, doing it in the compositor
is much much worse. So even if handling VPN requests is a relatively
rare event, doing it asynchronously is better.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2386
libnm doesn't only search for plugins in the regular VPN plugin directory,
but also in the legacy location and the directory pointed to by the
NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable (if set).
We don't monitor the additional directories, so it's possible for our cache
to become outdated.
Instead of trying to play catch-up with libnm's internals, do what nm-applet
does and use the appropriate API to look up the plugin on each request.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

The design team discussed the ellipses at the end of the hint text of
our entries and, even though they are present in most mockups, it turned
out they don't like them, so remove them.
It also turned out they don't like the prefixes like "Enter" before it,
so remove those, too.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/977
With the new dialog design the descriptions of entries are now
implemented as hint-text of the StEntry. That means the colon at the end
of the descriptions no longer makes sense and should be removed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/977
If all password entries in dialogs are hidden, there is either an entry
that has visible characters or no entry at all. That means we don't have
to show the caps lock warning at all, so hide it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/942
Since the headlines of the dialogs now use a much larger font, the
strings need to be shorter so they won't be ellipsized. So use a shorter
strings for those titles and also adjust the title-strings of the
notifications sent by the NetworkAgent to be consistent.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/942
Since MessageDialogContent.messageBox is going to be removed in a
subsequent commit, move the parts where it's used out of messageBox and
into the contentLayout instead. This will introduce wrong spacings in
some dialogs, which we're going to fix when implementing the redesigned
individual dialogs.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/886
Since commit 90a08ba0b6, we only open a network secret dialog immediately
in response to user action, and show a notification otherwise.
While for the actual request VPNs are handled separately from other connections,
this isn't true when we show the notification - we need to handle 'vpn' together
with the other types there, or we fall through to the default 'invalid type'
exception.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2008
Use the new StPasswordEntry for password entry fields
and remove all direct handling of clutter text of the entry
via clutter_text_set_password_char to show/hide the password
text. StPasswordEntry will provides a peek-password-icon which
will allow to show/hide the password present in the field to
the user in subsequent commits.

When cancelling the PolkitAgent session before disconnecting the signal
handlers, we receive a "completed" signal where `gained_authorization`
is set to FALSE, which means we show an error message inside
`_onSessionCompleted()`.
This in turn means we show an error message every time we cancel a
session. In practice this wasn't really relevant so far since we only
destroyed the session when an actual error occurred before. Now that the
dialog supports empty passwords, we also call `_destroySession()` when
the user changes and no longer has a password set, and in this case we
want to cancel the current session without showing an error message.
So to fix this, disconnect the signal handlers before cancelling the
session, which makes sure we don't receive the last "completed" signal
in case we cancelled the session ourselves. This change also allows
removing `this._wasDismissed`.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/829
When a user has no password and a polkit authentication is started,
instead of blindly initiating the admin session, show the regular
"Authentication Requested" dialog (but without the password entry). This
makes sure that the user's admin session is only effectively started
after the user chooses to proceed with the authentication, which
provides an extra confirmation step that can be vital for critical
tasks.
To do this, we show the dialog inside `_onUserChanged()` right after the
dialog was created instead of calling `performAuthentication()` from
`_onInitiate()`. The bug mentioned in `_onInitiate()` is no longer an
issue since we show the dialog in all cases now anyway.
Ideally we should use a different wording than "authentication" when the
user has no password set, and use "confirmation" instead. However polkit
already sends the requests with such messages (e.g. "Authentication is
required to configure software repositories"), and it's important to
show those to the user, so this patch keeps the regular wording.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/829
Since `_destroySession()` is not only called before we try to initiate a
new authentication session with Polkit, but also when the dialog is
closed, it's currently possible that key focus is grabbed by the close
button after the dialog was dismissed and hidden. This is causing a bug
where after dismissing one of multiple queued dialogs, key focus goes
away and keyboard navigation with the new dialog is impossible.
Fix this by only resetting the UI of the dialog if the dialog is still
opened/visible at that point.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/828
Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
Clutter originally cluttered its namespace with key symbols, before
prefixing all symbols with KEY. We still use the unprefixed symbols
occasionally, replace them so mutter can drop the deprecated symbols.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/808
Since polkit takes a few milliseconds from initiating the session to
emitting the "request" signal, don't introduce visual distraction by
hiding the password entry and showing it again a few ms later.
So start a timeout of 200 ms when we destroy a session and if no session
request (i.e. a request for a password-authentication) happened during
this timeout, hide the password entry.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/788
Since we don't know if polkit/PAM will request a password (emitting the
"request" signal) or use another authentication method like a
fingerprint after the current authentication failed, hide the password
field and make the "Authenticate" button insensitive after cancelling
the session, just like we do when creating the dialog.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/788
Set the key focus to the password field only after we got a request
(and therefore know that a password is requested) instead of using
`setInitialKeyFocus()`. This way we don't try to focus the password
field by default if we aren't showing it (e.g. in case the user has no
password or is using fingerprint login).
Also we have to move the call to `grab_key_focus()` to happen after
`_ensureOpen()`, because otherwise the ModalDialog will set the focus to
one of the buttons while opening itself.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/788
Show the user avatar for all users, including the root user. The root
user will always have the generic avatar, but it looks more consistent
than showing no avatar at all.
This way we also don't have to worry about the spacing introduced by the
polkit-dialog-user-layout CSS class, which would give the
"Administrator" label a small offset to the left.
