A new tool, 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' can load a new entry point from
extensions, 'prefs.js', which has an entry point to return a GTK+ widget.
This allows extensions to have their own preferences dialog, without each
extension needing to ship its own Python script and .desktop file.

Clutter, since version 1.8, does The Right Thing™ inside the default
implementation of ClutterActor::map and ClutterActor::unmap, even for
non-container actors: it will iterate over the list of children and
map, or unmap, each one of them, respectively.
This means that the requirement to override map and unmap for composite
actors to map and unmap the internal children has been dropped.

Since our implementation of background-size is now CSS-compliant, we

It seems that accidentally, two variables were swapped in one code path

Recent mutter changes made MetaShapedTexture not a ClutterTexture,
but instead a special ClutterActor subclass that implemented the texture-y
bits itself. Use recently introduced API in MetaShapedTexture so that we can
get the raw texture data and spit it out as a PNG.
Use the new meta_shaped_texture_get_image() to get a window's texture data.
meta_shaped_texture_get_image() flattens the image against any mask it may
have, so a screenshot of it should look exactly as it does on the display.

Instead of adding every rendered frame into the recording, drop frames
and only buffer and record enough frames to match the target framerate.
Increase the default frame rate from 15 to 30, since now that we're
actually enforcing framerate, it's noticeable that 15fps is not smooth.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669066
The default pipeline was fairly aggressive about quality, and could
be too expensive for some computers. Decrease the quality setting for
the vp8 codec from 10 to 8, and increase the speed setting from 2 to 6.
(Basically, quality affects the visual fidelity of the end result, while
speed affects how much CPU the encoder uses to get a high compression
ratio at that quality level.)
Remove videorate from the pipeline, since the GStreamer VP8 encoder can
handle variable-framerate streams. This means that we won't spend CPU
encoding duplicate frames added by videorate.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669066
We need to indicate that our GStreamer source produces timestamped
frames, instead of the default, which is to produce a stream of bytes.

For the Intel drivers, using glReadPixels() to read into client-memory
directly from the frame buffer is much slower than creating a pixel
buffer, copying into that, and then mapping that for reading. On other
drivers, the two approaches are likely to be similar in speed. Create
a ShellScreenGrabber abstraction that uses pixel buffers if available.
Use that for screenshots and screen recording.

Use the correct clip offsets when taking the screenshot of a window, to

.desktop files have been designed for browsing, so the existing

The application proxy is created asynchrously after the dbus name

therefore creating the first window GActionGroup) there is no
app proxy yet.

Implement the background-size CSS property, specified by the CSS

It's not guaranteed that the application DBus proxy appears before
we receive the first focus event from the toplevel window.
Ensure that the first method to access the action muxer creates it if
hasn't been created yet.
We now have GRemoteActionGroup interface with the needed API,
implemented by GDBusActionGroup.
With the new API we could theoretically turn GActionMuxer itself into a
GRemoteActionGroup and expose the _full API to the shell so that the
timestamps could be passed from there.
Pass the current timestamp as platform data when activating
an action. This is implemented slightly hacky, since we use
clutter_get_current_event_time() to get at the timestamp, but
the alternative is to expose g_action_muxer_activate_action_full
to js, which would be quite a bit more involved.
GTK+ also exports window-specific actions, by putting the object path
for the exported action group in the _DBUS_OBJECT_PATH X property.
We add this action group to the app's muxer with a 'win' prefix,
since that is what the exported menu expects. Whenever the focus
window changes, we update the window-specific actions of its
application, and emit notify::action-group to cause the app
menu to be updated.
GDBusActionGroup api has changed again, adapt to that.
Also, use a GActionMuxer to add the 'app.' prefix to actions,
instead of manually stripping it out of the action names.
In the future, the muxer will also contain per-window actions
with a 'win.' prefix.
GMenuProxy has been replaced by GDBusMenuModel, and the object path
has been moved (now needs to be retrieved from the AppMenu GApplication
property).
Update the test to prefix each action with "app." as documented,
and use a GtkApplicationWindow instead of a plain GtkWindow.
Use the new GApplication support in ShellApp to create the application
menu. Supports plain (no state), boolean and double actions.

GDBusActionGroup and GMenuProxy are new objects in GIO 2.32 that

Not all desktop files tracked by the shell have
Exec lines. This could be because they're actually
run by another process, for instance, and the desktop

nautilus-pastebin provides a desktop file without an

The shell currently crashes if one of these partial
desktop files is installed and the user attempts to

For some reason, the texture cache decides to make a request and then look up

Without the desktop, even Nautilus hardcodes "Home" in all places
nowadays (except for the desktop itself). I think a run-time dependency

(Also, nautilus itself could probably hardcode "Home" for the desktop as
well and remove the preference).

We originally OR'ed search terms and favored results which matched
multiple times to get more relevant results. When changing search
to AND search terms, the semantics of "multiple matches" were
changed to refer to a single term matching multiple criteria (name,
executable), which seemed like a good idea at the time.
However in practice this just results in applications whose
user-visible name matches the executable name on disk being
favored over applications using a more generic name, which
isn't too useful (in particular when taking usage frequency
into account).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623372
Currently we use a very strict definition of "prefix", where the
search term has to match at the very beginning of the searched
criteria (application name, executable name). Use a more liberal
definition by including matches where the preceding character is
a space (application name) or hyphen (executable name) as well;
as many applications use a prefix, this should improve the quality
of results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623372
Application search results are internally categorized in four sets,
multiple and single prefix matches and multiple and single substring
matches. Each set is currently sorted alphabetically by application
name when concatenating the sets to the final result.
Change the last step to sort each set by usage frequency instead,
which is more likely to favor the most relevant match than
"arbitrary" alphabetic order.

For GIcons we use g_icon_to_string() in the key, but the function

Commit 0af108211c introduced a
regression where applications that appear in multiple categories were
duplicated in the "All Apps" list, because we switched from
uniquifying on desktop file ID to the GMenuTreeEntry.
Switch back to keeping the set of apps based on ID. To flesh this
out, we keep the ShellApp instance for a given ID around forever, and
when we're loading new contents, we replace the GMenuTreeEntry inside
the app. That means callers still get new data.
We still keep around the running app list, though we could just
recompute it from the app list now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659351
The apps and settings loading code duplicated the part to traverse a
GMenuTree. Unify this by adding a new function to return a flattened
set.
This will also be useful for a future change to how we store apps -
this way we can look at both the current set of apps and the new set.

Instead of doing complex computations in the shader just pass in the correct

While I've been trying to make the GC kick in more often, I've decided
it's a better tradeoff to aggressively GC at "leisure", for multiple
reasons.
We can and should revisit this at a later time, but basically:
* The shell doesn't generate *that* much JS data - garbage collection
is very fast here.
* Long periods without GC mean we're not calling free() when we
could, which in turn makes heap fragmentation much worse.
* Ensuring the GC runs at idle makes it much less likely we'll take
a random large GC hit in the middle of an animation.

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.
