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!

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
Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.
In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.
The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

The 'disable-user-extensions' GSettings key is the last extensions-related
setting that isn't exposed over D-Bus, and therefore requires consumers
to access the GSettings directly.
Expose the setting as UserExtensionsEnabled readwrite property in the
org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface to allow consumers to manage
extensions purely via D-Bus.
The 'disable-user-extensions' setting is the last extension-related
bit from the org.gnome.shell GSettings schema that is not exposed
via D-Bus.

xgettext got better at recognizing template strings, so we can
replace more string concatenations. Alas xgettext is still buggy
(surprise, regular expressions are hard), so there are still a
handful of holdouts that prevent us from making a complete switch.

Due to typecasting being done when converting floats to integers in
gnome-settings-daemon, a volume of 0.9% in g-s-d will end up as 0% in
gnome-shell. This can lead to a mismatch of icons between the volume OSD
(the icon to use is determined by g-s-d itself) and the shells own
volume indicator (the icon to use is determined by the shell using the
volume received from g-s-d).
To fix this, simply get rid of the conversion from float to percentage
in g-s-d and back to floats in the shell and just send a float/double
value on DBus.

Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Now that extension loading and the extensions map are no longer shared
between the gnome-shell and gnome-shell-extension-prefs processes, we
can move both into the ExtensionManager which makes much more sense
conceptually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The existing 'ExtensionStatusChanged' signal has a fixed set of parameters,
which means we cannot add additional state without an API break. Deprecate
it in favor of a new 'ExtensionStateChanged' signal which addresses this
issue by taking the full serialized extension as parameter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Serializing an extension for sending over D-Bus is currently done by the
appropriate D-Bus method implementations. Split out the code as utility
function and add a corresponding deserialization function, which we will
soon use when consuming the D-Bus extension API from the extension-prefs
tool.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Extensions are currently enabled or disabled by directly changing the
list in the 'enabled-extensions' GSettings key. As we will soon add
an overriding 'disabled-extensions' key as well, it makes sense to
offer explicit API for enabling/disabling to avoid duplicating the
logic.
For the corresponding D-Bus API, the methods were even mentioned in
the GSettings schema, albeit unimplemented until now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The extension system started out as a set of simple functions, but
gained more state later, and even some hacks to emit signals without
having an object to emit them on.
There is no good reason for that weirdness, so rather than imitating an
object, wrap the existing system into a real ExtensionManager object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
Converting a variable to a particular type can be done explicitly (with
functions like Number() or toString()) or implicitly by relying on type
coercion (like concatenating a variable to the empty string to force
a string, or multiplying it with 1 to force a number).
As those tend to be less readable and clear, they are best avoided. So
replace the cases of string coercion we use with template strings, and
clarify the places that can be confused with number coercion.

The monitor index is not something that gnome-shell and
gnome-settings-daemon seem to be agreeing about. Using the connector
string is a much more reliable method of identifying a specific screen
and we are indeed using this already for monitor labling.
So switch over to use the connector rather than the monitor index. If a
user tries to use the old API, then the OSD will simply show up on all
monitors (which is the status quo currently anyway).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/489
This API has been broken for quite some time now as the corresponding
mutter function meta_monitor_manager_get_monitor_for_output was removed.
If anyone tries to use it, we would just run into a backtrace.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/490
While it is possible to register accelerators in-bulk, there is no
proper way to unregister them again. This adds the corresponding call
for UngrabAccelerator to allow ungrabbing multiple accelerators at the
same time.
The idea is that g-s-d can use this in the future to simplify the
keybinding reload logic.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/429
ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/361
For the OSD, all parameters except for the icon are optional - if the
caller doesn't include the 'label' option, the OSD won't show a label
etc.
While this makes sense for an API, it means that we have to be careful
to correctly differentiate an option that was omitted and an option
that has a 'falsy' value like false or 0.
Unfortunately since commit ccaae5d3c we no longer do, with the result
that OSDs meant for the first monitor will show up on all, and a level
of 0 is presented as no level bar instead of an empty one, whoops.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791669
Allow osd representing levels that can be more than 100% by accepting
an optional parameter setting that maximum level.
gnome-settings-daemon will use this to indicate volume levels above 100%,
which our own volume indicator will soon support as well.
When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/23
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

Add a new D-Bus method for setting the monitor labels. This new method
takes connector names instead of output ids for associating with actual
monitors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This DBus API is intended to be used by gnome-control-center's
displays panel to show monitor labels.
Each output (i.e. hardware monitor) identified by its
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig API ID has at most one label. On
mirrored setups, all the labels for outputs corresponding to the same
logical monitor (i.e. showing the same contents in the same mode) are
shown together.
At most, only one DBus client at a time is allowed to show labels.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743744
This will allow g-s-d to handle actions differently based on the
current mode - namely, allow the power button when locked, but
make sure to never show any dialogs in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711682
Adding new parameters to the signal currently will break keybindings
until gnome-settings-daemon is updated to the new API as well.
Put additional parameters into a dictionary instead to make future
extensions easier.

I was going to add another DBus property to signal when the shell was
done loading and was idle, and while implementing that I noticed we
aren't emitting PropertyChanged for, well, any property. Let's fix
OverviewActive.
It's unfortunate it's so tedious to correctly implement a DBus
property =/
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704163
Currently, shellDBus only uses the passed in monitor index if it's
strictly > 0. A zero-index monitor is a valid one though, so don't
restrict this to strictly positive indices.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740074
We had one osdWindow that we displayed either on the primary monitor or on
whatever monitor index got passed over dbus.
Change that to show the osd on all monitors when no explicit monitor is
requested. A monitor should be requested in cases like display brightness where it makes sense to only show the osd on the affected monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722684
Instead of poking through IDLETIME, which confuses the state tracking
and can prevent automatic suspend, send a special signal to GSD
when the screen is to be waken up for a notification.
Someday we'll bring over all the state tracking and avoid this
ping-pong between gnome-shell and gnome-settings-daemon, but
that day's not today.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712706
This is also exposed in the ShowOSD DBus method, the "monitor"
parameter may contain an integer to indicate the monitor number.
If the value is not provided or <0 is used, the monitor is shown
on the primary monitor as usually.
This way, the OSD can be used to notify upon events that solely
apply to one monitor, like tablet mapping as discussed in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710373.
