It's not exactly clear what changed - gobject-introspection, gjs - but
the newly added gweather_condition_to_string_full() API no longer works
like it used to. The replacement code does look more idiomatic anyway,
so just fix the code without investigating the reason of the breakage.

If a source actor is set, use that for determining the arrow side (i.e.
whether the BoxPointer widget should expand in a certain direction).
This is better because it ensures that the popup is displayed on the
same monitor as the widget it originates from.
Without this, entering text with a vertically aligned input method
close to the bottom of a monitor would expand the BoxPointer downwards
on the monitor beneath it, instead of upwards, which is what one would
expect.

Now that full-sized window previews are allowed again it makes sense to
align the window previews with the pixel grid to prevent unscaled
windows from looking blurry in the overview.
Every action has specific associated terms that
identify that action and show it in the search
results. Methods to match the actions as well
as getting properties of specific actions are
needed in order to provide a way of using the
actions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691900
We want to be able to search for available system actions, so
rather than tracking each action in a separate property, store
them in a single map that can be searched in a generic and clean
way.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691900
In anticipation of showing the system actions in
the search results, it is fit to move action
specific code to its own module in order to
reuse it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691900
The current behavior wasn't designed, but was introduced in commit
84efaac52b to work around technical limitations when we were still
using external tools like gnome-screensaver or gnome-session-quit
to handle the actions. Those limitations are long gone, so it makes
sense to make the actions consistent with the corresponding keyboard
shortcuts: Leave the overview when launching an application, and leave
it alone otherwise.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691900
Users already have to trust their OS, so asking whether an OS component
should be allowed to perform an OS operation is odd at best, if not
confusing. Account for this by allowing system components that require a
keyboard grab to work - namely Setting's keyboard shortcuts panel - to
do so without triggering the permissions dialog.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786146
This drops the requirement that SwitcherPopups need a modifier based
keybinding to work.
The existing behavior for modifier based keybindings is kept but if
the popup is triggered from a no modifiers keybinding, instead of
finishing when the modifier is released, we use a timer that
automatically finishes the popup. The timer is reset on every key
release to allow navigation to happen.

GWeather now provides us with API to request strings that don't
use sentence capitalization, so we can use it for summaries that
don't start a sentence to make for more natural phrases.

As in commit b2b2f65 and furthermore it doesn't make much sense to
change the menu item according to the number of connections since all
connections here are of the same type.

The new control-center shell split wifi configuration from the network
panel, and moved all other devices into a flat list. So instead of
manually spawning the app with the 'show-device' subcommand, we can
now simply launch the appropriate settings panel.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786520
To make search more efficient, users don't need to move the actual
keyboard focus away from the search entry to activate the first
result. However the shift+f10 shortcut to pop up the context menu
via keyboard still acts on the actually focused widget, which is
the entry. It makes more sense to open the context menu of the
selected result instead, as that's what's highlighted and responds
to keyboard activation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675315
Otherwise the smaller icons will try to take too much space since the
texture rendering the icons will be scaled up on HiDPI displays according
to the scale factor, which will push the size of the StBin containing the
texture up, causing them to completely fill the folder's total space.
Explicitly setting the size of the StBin container in this case, in a
similar fashion to what we do when creating the empty placeholders (in
case where there are less than 4 apps in a folder), ensures that each
"cell" of the grid-like widget representing the folder does not take
too much space.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786145
We need to consider the scaling factor in effect when updating the user's
avatar, and also make sure to update it as well whenever the scaling
factor changes.

The legacy tray introduced as part of the notification redesign in
3.16 was meant as a stop-gap solution to encourage applications to
move away from the concept of status icons, but it hasn't really
done anything except of getting in the way. Given that the large
majority of apps that still make use of status icons work perfectly
fine without them, we decided that it is time to drop this unloved
bit of UI altogether. Users who still want them (or use one of the
odd cases where an app really depends on the icon) can install one of
various extensions that are available, either based on the XEmbed
support that is still kept around or implementing the DBus-based
StatusNotifier spec.

Currently the chrome layer decides itself which events on the window
clone should show or hide the chrome, which makes it harder to extent.
Instead, move the decision to the window clone by letting it emit
show/hide-chrome events when appropriate.

Previews are currently limited to at most 70% of the actual window
size. This was done to indicate more clearly that the overview is
active and the window cannot be interacted with. However since then
other indications like the vignette effect have been added, so
artificially limiting the preview size doesn't look necessary anymore.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
Now that only one window title is visible at any time, it no longer
matters if a title extends into other window previews, so we can
always show the full title.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
While the new title position gives the previews more space, they now
overlay the content which may hide valuable information. Address this
by only revealing the title as additional information on hover, like
we do for other auxiliary elements.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We consider the window previews the primary way to identify a window,
so it makes sense to give them as much space as possible. So in order
to not have title captions take up too much vertical space, overlay
them on top of the preview borders.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
We currently expand the workspace switcher when workspaces are being
used, that is when there are any windows on a non-active workspace.
While this helps with the switcher's discoverability, it does eat into
the space available for window previews. By now the component should
be well established, so we can afford opting for space efficiency and
only expand the switcher while the user actually interacts with it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783953
The overview's window picker is primarily about windows, and as the
previews that represent them are more effective the bigger they are,
it makes sense to scale down competing elements; start by reducing
the size of workspace thumbnails on the right ...

Instead of potentially loading a background mid-way when it changes, and
loading it again for every file monitor event, leverage
CHANGES_DONE_HINT events, which allow us to ignore CREATED and CHANGED
signals from the file monitor.

About every other situation can do with synchronizing keyboard visibility,
and keyboard layout changes are already handled internally in the Keyboard
object.
A downside of this approach is that once created, there will always be a
Keyboard instance and its full actor hierarchy. Seems reasonable to do that
since we can't tell it won't ever be needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785309
In case where a method- and property name overlap, using the method
is less unambiguous than I thought - mozjs52-based gjs will only see
the method, while mozjs38-based gjs will only see the property. We
are in luck though, and the real property name contains dashes that
allow us to refer to the property in a way that works for all gjs
versions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so support it in addition to autotools. If all goes well, we'll
eventually be able to drop the latter ...

ClutterActor has both a has_pointer() method and a :has-pointer
property (that we represent as 'has_pointer'). So far gjs was
able to deal with the name overlap, but now trying to use the
property will instead test for the availability of the method.
Just avoid the conflict by switching to the method, which is
unambiguous.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785090
We now cancel animations on override, however we also want to cancel
animations altogether on unmap (that is, when hiding the overview)
to avoid icons swarming into the void.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
Until now we were waiting the animation to complete to allow the user to
make a new animation. This could bring some problems and annoy nervous
users.
Instead of that, destroy clones on new animations triggers and
create a new animation with the new direction.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736148
The animation needs the icons' final positions, so we currently defer
it to a ::notify::allocation handler; however as starting the animation
during an allocation cycle would trigger a Clutter warning, it is
further deferred to a MetaLater. While this usually works, it is possible
that the allocation is already valid when we connect the signal, in which
case the animation is triggered at a later unexpected time. Switch to
a more robust ::paint handler instead, which also allows us to get rid
of the double-delay.
