Users are currently experiencing intermittent (and hard to debug) TLS
errors when loading the portal authentication page. This could be
caused by using http://www.gnome.org/ for our connectivity checks
because it redirects to HTTPS.
We can completely remove TLS from the equation by not using HTTPS.
http://nmcheck.gnome.org/ is a good choice because it doesn't redirect
to HTTPS and was created for NetworkManager's connectivity check.

Wayland clients can request their surfaces to be fullscreened before
commiting a buffer which means that we need to handle fullscreen
requests for which the old size is 0x0, preferably without warnings.
Since the mapping animation also runs for these windows, we can simply
bail out and ignore the fullscreen size change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770345
Wayland clients are in control of their window size so the existing
mutter plugin API, which assumes size changes are synchronous, doesn't
work for them since when our size-change handler runs the MetaWindow's
size isn't final yet.
To fix this, the mutter plugin API was extended with a size-changed
vfunc that lets us know when the MetaWindow size has actually
changed. This way we can make the window snapshot and get the old
window size on the existing size-change handler and later, on the new
size-changed handler, get the new size and start the animation.

Sliced images are loaded into a group actor with one child actor
per slice. In case loading the image fails, we currently quietly
return the empty group actor, which makes diagnosing problems
unnecessarily hard - just be a bit more verbose on failure.

Our animation code not only relies on the animation being loaded
(which we handle), but also on having at least one frame - otherwise
the computation of the next frame index will turn up NaN through
division by zero. Guard against this case by treating empty animations
as not loaded.

The top bar's network menu only supports a subset of device types
supported by NetworkManager. While not having lesser used options
in the menu itself is perfectly reasonable, not showing any network
icon at all in the top bar when the system is fully connected is
weird.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773890
Any network devices appear as top level items in the system status
menu, so on system with an unusually high number of devices, the
menu can end up exceeding the available screen height. While this
is a corner case, leaving important system actions unreachable is
bad. The system menu does not lend itself to scrolling, so handle
this case instead by summarizing sections ("n connections") where
the number of devices exceeds a threshold.

Currently the cache is built once when the first VPN request is
handled, so plugins that are installed or uninstalled after that
aren't picked up. Fix this by invalidating the cache on changes
to the plugin directory.

commit 1d58ea25ab changed the
popupMenu code to handle key presses on source actors directly.
This fixed keynav into the session gear menu at the login screen.
Unfortunately, it also causes spurious pop ups if a modifier happens
to be held down.
This commit checks for modifiers and short circuits the up front
key handling if any are found.

This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously
present in gnome-settings-daemon. Since things are moving closer
to the compositor, it makes sense to have this implemented as shell
UI.

The lightboxes used for screen blanking are created during initialization
and shown each time the screen should blank. During the (potentially long)
time where the lightbox is hidden, any actor could be raised above the
lightbox - in particular any popup menu raises itself to the top when
opened. To not exclude those elements from screen blanking, raise the
lightbox every time it is shown.

We currently reload animated backgrounds on timezone changes, but
there are other cases where the time can change unexpectedly and
the background no longer matches the time of day. One case we can
easily handle is when coming back from suspend, so do that.

The Mozilla documentation says: "And as always when working with
reference counted NPObjects, the caller is responsible for calling
NPN_ReleaseObject on the NPObject to drop the reference."
Browsers assume that the plugin does the right thing and always call
NPN_ReleaseObject. At some point the object is released and deallocated
and both the plugin and browser still have references to the object
thinking that it's still alive. That's why the crash is sometimes in the
plugin when it tries to use the np object, and sometimes in the browser.

This might be a good fit for extension developers: With
this option one doesn't need to restart the whole Shell
in order to see their changes in effect.

Since commit 67615a0cbc, any printable key can be used to lift the
screen shield rather than just escape/enter/space. While this is
convenient for unlocking where the input is forwarded to the password
entry, it is potentially dangerous when the screen is inactive but
not locked: If the user types her password, the first character will
lift the shield and the remaining input will go to the focused window.
To prevent this from happening, only allow printable keys when the
screen is actually locked and restrict the key presses that lift the
shield to the original set of escape/enter/space otherwise.

It will only show up when a discrete GPU is available (detected through
the switcheroo-control D-Bus service), and the application hasn't
alreayd been launched.
Note that this will not currently work for D-Bus activated applications,
eg. the menu item will be available, but the environment variable will
not be passed through to D-Bus to use when launching the application.

And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.

We were running the git submodule update in builddir, instead of srcdir,
which might have lead to submodules not updating, and submodule tags
being reverted to older versions in some contributions.

Apparently importers for the 'same' path are shared, even when the
relative paths resolve to different absolute ones. Until this bug
is fixed properly, we can work around this by expressing the current
extension path as the UUID relative to the parent directory.
