The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code
base to move it to its own subprojects, like we did for the extensions-tool.
This allows for stand-alone builds of the app, which we are about to use
for distributing it as flatpak.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1133
We include config.js because it is a dependency of ExtensionUtils,
but it's not actually used in the code paths we exercise.
As we want to allow stand-alone builds of the app, it is much easier to
fake the module than to either include a generated file from elsewhere
in the tree or generate it ourselves.

Instead of adding a dragMonitor for every icon in the grid as soon as
one icon is getting dragged, only add a dragMonitor for the icon that is
currently being dragged over (ie. the current drag-target). With a large
number of icons in the iconGrid, this should significantly reduce lags
while dragging.
We can do this by detecting the DnD-entering of an icon or folder using
the `handleDragOver()` callback of drag-targets, adding the dragMonitor
because we know an icon is hovering above the drag-target and then
detecting the DnD-leaving of the drag-target by using the `dragMotion()`
handler, where we remove the dragMonitor again as soon as the
targetActor is no longer our actor (ie. the drag-target).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/849
While it should be impossible to destroy a FolderIcon while a DnD action
is still going on, there might still be rare cases where this happens
(ie. when a folder is removed because an app got deleted during DnD).
So make sure we're on the safe side here and don't potentially leave
dragMonitors around after the icon is destroyed by removing the
dragMonitor inside the onDestroy handler of the FolderIcon, just like we
do for AppIcons.

Forward the arguments at the 'delete-surrounding-text' signal
from IBusInputContext to clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding()
so that ibus-typing-booster use the deleting surrounding text function.
Input method engines can delete the output text in applications
with this function.
This change will require a change of mutter of mutter!517
because the first arguemnt of the 'delete-surrounding-text' is INT
to express the offset of the current cursor position but
the first one of clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() is UINT
since the Wayland spec accepts UINT in delete_surrounding()
mutter will change the type of the first one to INT in
clutter_input_method_delete_surrounding() to work with this change.

While we don't technically need the app to download and apply
updates, we do require it for notifying the user about available
updates and listing extensions with pending updates.
So instead of intransparently applying updates in the background
without the user noticing, disable updates altogether if the
Extensions app is not installed.

Blacklist support was added all the way back in commit 1e286e43, but
the code had been defunctional until recently. While uninstalling an
extension that has been blacklisted makes sense off-hand, unfortunately
we don't know if an extension was *actually* blacklisted:
The website returns that operation for any extensions for which it
doesn't find any versions that match the shell version. That is, the
most likely reason is that the user updated to a new GNOME release
which the extension doesn't support yet.
It doesn't look like the website is going to change that behavior any
time soon[0], so drop the 'blacklist' handling for the time being.

Commit 55b57421d changed signal handlers to the corresponding vfuncs,
but didn't always chain up as necessary. In most places this doesn't
matter, but at the very least the commit broke activating message list
items via the keyboard.
Add all (hopefully) the missing chain-ups to get the expected behavior
back.

Destroying the policy invalidates it, so accessing it from a
Source::destroy handler (for example to disconnect signal
handlers) currently results in warnings like:
Object .Gjs_ui_messageTray_NotificationApplicationPolicy
(0x7f8c7c0a64a0), has been already deallocated — impossible
to access it.

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

Previously we'd show the system background and then wait till the
main loop was idle before beginning the shell startup animation.
This resulted in one initial frame that was always just the system
background.
Now we try to get both the system background and the startup animation
begun on the same first frame.

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].

We now warn on startup if screen locking isn't available, however for
users who choose not to use GDM or logind, repeating the warning on
each login is more annoying than helpful.
Instead, limit the warning to the first login on which the screen lock
became unavailable. That way the notification will still serve the
intended purpose of informing the user, but without being perceived
as nagging.

It's easy to forget to add a new <release> tag to the metainfo when
doing a new release.
Address this with an additional test if appstream-util is recent
enough to include the new validate-version command, so distcheck
fails when the metainfo wasn't updated.

Commit da537cda43 moved the Shell.Screenshot API to GIO's async pattern,
but we never set the GError passed to the *_finish() functions and only
indicate failure by returning FALSE.
The expected behavior is to throw an error in that situation, so make sure
we do that.

As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.
With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.
The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:
- filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
to files)
- system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)
- extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
gnome-shell's dependencies
- if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs
And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).
This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:
- it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows
- it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
in the same namespace as the extension itself
That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
We are jumping through quite some hoops to support showing only the
preference dialog when given a UUID on the command line.
As gnome-shell is about to stop calling out to us for the prefs dialog,
the reason for supporting this is going away, so remove all the special
handling.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
The dialog that contains the extension's preference widget has become
fairly complex over time, mostly due to the error handling.
It therefore makes sense to move it to a template, just like we did
for the main application window and extension rows.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1106
On X11, _onFocusChanged() updates the input region, as well as the
reactive-ness of the dialog's buttons.
That method is not only used as signal handlers (which are correctly
disconnected when the dialog is hidden), it also runs when the "show"
transition completes.
That's a problem if the transition is still ongoing when the dialog is
hidden, as it will then only complete when it is replaced by the "hide"
transition, after the this._dialog has been reset to null, and trying
to access the dialog's buttons results in an error.
Avoid this by explicitly removing all transition on hide before
resetting the dialog.

Commit c1ec7b2ff meant to fall back to the base layout in case
a variant like `fr+oss` is set up, but as we are checking for
'+' on the array rather than the layout name, the fallback only
"works" for a layout that is literally called '+', whoops.

Detailed notifications are meant to be single line, just as unexpanded
notification banners. So handle them the same way as in the message
list, and replace embedded newlines by spaces.

We only show the list of system- and user extensions if corresponding
extensions are installed, however we only update the visibility
after loading the initial list of extensions.
As it's possible for the first user extension to be installed while the
app is open or the last one to be removed, we should also update the
list visibility after extension state changes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1088
While we only shut down after a method call completed or (if the
interface has signals) the sender disconnects from the bus, services
may need to inhibit auto-shutdown for more specific reasons themselves,
for example when a method call kicks off an operation that should
complete before shutting down.
Add hold() and release() methods like Gio.Application for those cases.

Some timezones, like the one of Kathmandu don't only have hour-based
timezone offsets, but their timezones are also offset by minutes. So
instead of showing weird values like "+5.8", show the minutes properly
in a format like "+5:45".

I misremembered that imports.package.start() would set up the correct
gettext domain, but the module only provides a convenience method
for doing that.
Use it to bring back translations in the Extensions app, whoops.

Now that the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface exposes the
disable-user-extensions setting on D-Bus, we can use that instead
of the shell's GSettings.
In a future where we distribute the app separately as flatpak, this
will require one less hole in the sandbox.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1081
Using the "regular" loadInterfaceXML() helper means less code duplication,
but it also ties us to the resource used by gnome-shell.
In order to untangle the extension app from core gnome-shell, change that
to load the interface from the existing data resource instead. While that
does involve reimplementing loadInterfaceXML(), it's not too bad actually
with the resource-loading code stripped (as the data resource is already
loaded by the package module).

We want to make the extensions app code more self-contained to make it
easier to build separately, and ultimately make it available on flathub.
One complication we are facing is that it is currently all over the source
tree:
- js/extensionPrefs for the main code
- src for the launcher process
- data for .desktop file and icons
Switching from a C launcher to the imports.package module allows us to
consolidate the first two, and will also take care of the annoying
setup bits (defining JS search path, extending GI lookup, loading
resources).
