Typo: 10000000 instead of 1000000 for a million. Also, use
G_INT64_CONSTANT instead of LL for a 64-bit constant, to avoid
extraneous 128-bit arithmetic on 64-bit machines.
Add a command line option to upload the generated performance report
to a web service. The options for the upload (url, system name, secret
key) are read from ~/.config/gnome-shell/perf.ini.

Switch from having separate METRICS and METRIC_DESCRIPTIONS objects
in a perf module to a single METRICS array. This is done so the
perf module can define the units for each metric.
In addition to improving the output in the web interface, the purpose
of having units is to give some clue about how to pick from multiple
values from different runs. In particular, with the assumption that
"noise" on the system will increase run times, for time values we want
to pick the smallest values, while for "rate" values, we want to pick
the largest value.

Add --perf-output=<filename> option to gnome-shell that combines
the reports written for each run by the C/Javascript code into
a complete report.
If this option is not specified, a brief human-readable summary
is printed to stdout instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
When SHELL_PERF_OUTPUT is set, instead of just dumping out the metrics, dump
a more complete report with:
- Event descriptions
- Metric descriptions and value
- Event log
Helper functions shell_perf_log_dump_events() and shell_perf_log_dump_log()
are added to ShellPerfLog to support this. The gnome-shell wrapper is adapted
to deal with the changed report format.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add a helper function to write a string as UTF-8 to a GOutputStream.
The signature of GOutputStream:
gboolean g_output_stream_write_all (GOutputStream *stream,
const void *buffer,
gsize count,
gsize *bytes_written,
GCancellable *cancellable,
GError **error);
Can't currently be handled by GJS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add gnome-shell options:
--perf-iters=ITERS"
Numbers of iterations of performance module to run
--perf-warmup
Run a dry run before performance tests
Make a successful run of a performance test return 0 not non-zero,
and handle the difference between that and a 0-exit in normal
usage (meaning replaced) in the wrapper.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Move the code that starts gnome-shell and waits for it to exit
to a function in preparation for running it multiple times when
doing iterations of a performance test.

Add some basic statistics for allocated memory based on mallinfo(),
and use that to define two metrics:
usedAfterOverview: bytes used after the overview is shown once
leakedAfterOverview: additional bytes used when the overview is
shown a second time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add a facility for defining and recording numeric statistics
as performance events
shell_perf_log_define_statistic()
Define a statistic and the corresponding event type
shell_perf_log_update_statistic_[ix]() -
Update the stored statistic value
shell_perf_log_add_statistics_callback()
Add a function called before collecting statistics
shell_perf_collect_statistics()
Update statistics and record events for them
In addition to the explicit collection, statistics are
recorded at a periodic interval (currently 5s)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.
This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.
The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.
The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.

ShellPerfLog provides a way for different parts of the code to
record information for subsequent analysis and interactive
exploration. Events exist of a timestamp, an event ID, and
arguments to the event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
To support scheduling performance-measurement scripts that want to run
a number of actions in series, add shell_global_run_at_leisure() to run
a callback when all work is finished.
The initial implementation of this is not that accurate: we track
business in Tweener.js via new shell_global_begin_work(),
shell_global_end_work() functions, and we also handle the case
where the main loop is continually busy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
The API docs for ShellApp claimed it sorted by the last time the
user interacted with the app, but if one closed a window, then
we would fall back to comparing against a possibly much older
timestamp from another window. Fix this by just keeping a
user time per app.
Also clean up the comparison function to explicitly check the state
instead of deferring to the window list.

The ShellGlobal initialization performs several actions like connecting
to the X server, ensuring directories exist, etc., that are problematic
because we were creating the object even when running the binary for
introspection scanning. During compilation we may not even have X11
available in e.g. autobuilder type environments, and it's just a
bad idea to connect even if we do.
Avoid this by deferring creation of the ShellGlobal object
until the plugin is actually started.
Now that we're initializing things later, remove the connection to
screen changes, and initialize cached ShellGlobal state at the point
when the plugin is set. The root pixmap actor is now sized initially
on creation too. Instead of relying on screen-size-changed being
emitted on startup, explicitly invoke _relayout().

I have no idea why there existed code that if we saw e.g. min-width
without a width, we assigned min-width to ->width, thus effectively
treating it as a maximum.
Just delete that bit.

Starting with gtk-2.20.0 there is a gdk_screen_get_primary_monitor,
which supports querying the primary monitor from xrandr.
But due to a sorting bug and lack of heuristics in the fallback path,
it isn't really useable.
Those bugs are fixed in gtk-2.20.1, so use it when building with
gtk-2.20.1+.

Passing an explicit width in the wfh case or a height in the hfw case
messes up the request caching, and confuses actors that assume they
won't be called with an explicit width/height unless they're being
allocated along the other axis.

Adds the ability to create one or more zoom regions that show magnified or
enhanced views of the desktop. The magnifier provides options for:
* magnification factor,
* four mouse tracking modes common to screen magnifiers,
* positioning the magnified view in one of four screen location, or full screen,
* crosshairs to accentuate the position of the mouse,
* user preferences persistence via GConf (schemas in
.../data/gnome-shell.schemas).
* a DBus API to allow other processes to drive the magnifier as a service.

Add StContainer, which implements the ClutterContainer interface based
on the container methods in st-private and make the existing containers
subclass it.

To replace all calls to deprecated code, GTK+ 2.20 is required - add
some basic compatibility code, so that is still possible to build the
shell with GTK+ 2.18 when not using -DGSEAL_ENABLE.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618258
With the transition to GTK+ 3.0, direct access to struct members
will no longer be possible.
This bumps the required minimum version of GTK+ to 2.20.

The StTable code only supports height-for-width. When called in
width-for-height sizing mode, instead of treating the -1 flag
value of 'for_width' as a real width, and requesting all the
children at 1 pixel wide, use the natural width of the table
as the width for determing the height.
Since we can't rewrap in width-for-height mode, we then report
the natural width also as the minimum width of the table.

readlink() on /proc/<pid>/exe can have results like:
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon.#prelink#.5DFZsF (deleted)
/usr/bin/gnome-session (deleted)
To find gnome-session in a more robust way, read /proc/<pid>/cmdline
instead.

The design calls for raising all windows for a given app in
certain circumstances; implement this. The new _focus method
raises all windows for the app if it's running.
We further change the _activate method (which a lot of the shell
UI calls now) to invoke _focus for the running case, which means
that e.g. the application well will now raise all app windows.

When creating the directory to store user data, XDG_DATA_HOME is
not guaranteed to exist. Also, the standard mandates permissions
of 0700 for the directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617555
As StEntry handles hover differently depending on whether it is
activated or not, the generic hover support in StWidget is
insufficient. Nevertheless it makes sense to set the hover status
using StWidget methods instead of setting the pseudo class directly.
While the extension system already uses an XDG location (XDG_CONFIG_HOME),
other components use the deprecated $HOME/.gnome2 directory.
Replace both with XDG_DATA_HOME - the existing data (app usage stats,
looking glass history and extensions) is not migrated to the new location.

The (optional) spread radius allows to make the shadow bigger without
enlarging the blur value. Mozilla supports this parameter for the
-moz-box-shadow property.
