The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.
With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:
var MySubModule;
function init(meta) {
MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
}
That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.
Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:
let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();
As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:
const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);

Add two new APIs, "launchExtensionPrefs" to let SweetTooth let the user
launch the extension preferences tool directly from the browser. To allow
SweetTooth to check if an extension can be configured, add a new key to
the 'metadata', 'hasPrefs', which is returned by the GetExtensionInfo/
ListExtensions DBus methods.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668429
ExtensionUtils is a new module that has a lot of miscellaneous things related
to loading extensions and the extension system put into a place that does not
depend on Shell or St.
Note that this will break extensions that have with multiple files by replacing
the old uuid-based importer with an object directly on the meta object.

The loop can exit with an interval of length one or one of
length zero. In the first case it is correct to check which side
of the interval to return, in the second case no comparison should
be made (since there is only one possible value).
In practice, this usually results in one comparison more than needed,
but in some cases (when the position was past the end of the array),
would call the comparator with undefined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666614
Adds two new functions, Util.lowerBound and Util.insertSorted,
that take an array, a value and a comparator, and find the
first position at which the value can be inserted without
violating the order, in optimal time.

The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().

This continues the series of patches for GDBus porting, affecting
all code that accesses remote DBus objects. This includes modemManager,
automount, autorun (for the hotplug sniffer), calendar, network (for
nm-applet only), power, scripting (for perf monitor interface)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648651
Port org.gnome.ScreenSaver and org.gnome.SessionManager glue code
to use GDBus, and move /org/gnome/Shell/EndSessionDialog to the
GDBus connection, so it is backed by the org.gnome.Shell name.

js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

libsoup won't check for a valid cert by default, so copy some logic from
glib-networking to check against the system cert list. Additionally, allow a
fallback for developers, ~/.local/share/extensions.gnome.org.crt, for easy
local development of the website.

For those who like their system pure, this provides the ability to purge a
pesky extension and its precious place on your disk space, and in your
"Local Extension" list.

Conflicts:
js/ui/extensionSystem.js
findUrl() was seeing strings like "You have 1 new message in
foo@example.com/Inbox" and finding the URL
"[http://]example.com/Inbox". Require that URLs either start at the
start of the string, or are preceded by whitespace or an open
paren/quote/etc.
(Since JS doesn't have look-behind assertions like perl does, we have
to actually match the URL-preceding character in the regex, and then
adjust the result findUrl returns accordingly.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636252
Although "x:5" could theoretically be a URL with scheme "x" and path
"5", it probably isn't. Only URLify strings that use the "authority"
syntax ("foo://"). (No one ever types out "mailto:" URLs in ordinary
text, so we don't want to match those either.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636252
Explode the regex onto multiple lines, and add comments explaining the
pieces. Also, change ()s to (?:)s (non-capturing groups) where
appropriate, and replace the UTF-8 characters with \u escapes so that
they actually work.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636252
Fix the signal handling; you can't use this.connect('ActiveChanged')
to connect to a D-Bus signal after replacing the signal methods with
the lang.signals versions. Just leave it using the D-Bus signal names,
just like it uses the D-Bus method names.
Also, remove the "_" from "_screenSaverActive", to match what
AutomountManager checks for, and remove getActive(), since it's not
needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654550
Due to lockdown settings or Polkit policy, shutdown may not be
available. If this is the case, the "Power off ..." action should
be hidden from the user status menu.

If the user typed "a", hit up, and pressed enter again, we wouldn't re-set the
history pointer to the end, so the broken navigation would instead go to the
entry before that.

In commit 9bd22dc0, I introduced an API to load an arbitrary
.desktop file, not necessarily from the menu path. It turns
out this function was broken because it created ShellApp instances
that were *different* from ones that were cached normally.
As far as I can tell, we didn't initially use it. Then later
Util.spawnDesktop was created which used this function.
Remove this broken function and all callers; if we're loading
.desktop files from *outside* the menu path, we can look at
readding.
This patch also kills off Util.spawnDesktop in favor of callers
talking to ShellAppSystem directly, now that the latter reports
errors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644402
Move the "system notification error" handling out of
util.js, and add it to ShellGlobal so we can start
calling it from across the codebase better (including
C).

Adds an implementation of nm-applet in javascript. Uses the new
introspection from NetworkManager, and temporarily requires
nm-applet to be running for the secret service.
Features a renewed interface, with each device controllable through
a switch, which if toggled off disconnects, and if toggled on
connects to the most recently used valid connection. More esoteric
features like creation of ad-hoc networks have been moved to the
control center panel.

Around 2.91.90, gnome-session-save was renamed to gnome-session-quit.
This commit restores compatibility with the older gnome-session, for
those testing under GNOME 2.32 or below, by calling the DBus methods
directly.

Make GSettings support optional, refactor text entry handling,
fix some off-by-one bugs in the management itself, use Params
for parsing, fix other typos and bugs.

The DBus JS binding will complain if the signature of a method
or of a signal is undefined, so we need to define it even if it
is an empty string, and we need to use the correct property name
for signals.

runDialog and lookingGlass both implement a home-made history
manager, each working slightly differently than each other in
behavior and implementation.
Extract the behavior and implementation from runDialog, which
reads and saves to GSettings.

With workspace thumbnails, we don't switch workspaces when dragging windows
between workspaces or adding new workspaces, so we also shouldn't switch
on launch.
* Add workspace parameters to shell_doc_system_open(),
shell_app_activate, shell_app_open_new_window()
* Pass a 'params' object when activating items in the overview with
two currently defined parameters: workspace and timestamp. (timestamp
is only implemented where it is easy and doesn't require interface
changes - using the global current timestamp for the shell is almost
always right or at least good enough.)

Commit a65a0f03d4 changed the literal RegExp to a string-based
RegExp(). As backslashes are treated specially inside strings,
translating an expression as /\s/ to '\s' results in a faulty
regex of /s/, so escape backslashes where necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639914
GenericDisplay used to provide a common base class for places and
recent items, none of which exists anymore. As of current mockups,
display items in "Finding and Reminding" should be based on
BaseIcon / IconGrid instead.
Since we have to use pkill, kludgily, for the right combination of
portability and featurefulness, put the code in one place rather than
duplicating it everywhere.

Add Util.spawn, Util.spawnCommandLine, and Util.spawnDesktop for
spawning a command/argv/.desktop file in the background, automatically
handling errors via MessageTray.SystemNotificationSource(), and
Util.trySpawn, Util.trySpawnCommandLine, and Utils.trySpawnDesktop
that don't do automatic error handling (but do at least clean up the
error message in the exception a bit).
Update various other bits of code around the shell to use the new
methods.

Rename imports.misc.utils to imports.misc.util for more consistency
(eg, with shell-util).
Also, use the string-based RegExp() constructor rather than a RegExp
literal, since the literal is extremely difficult to parse correctly,
and confuses emacs and probably other editors and thus messes up
autoindentation, etc.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635089
Add an entry in config.js.in for PACKAGE_VERSION and GJS_VERSION,
to be used by the notification daemon and in the future by the
extension system.
