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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773117
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.

You can define a new importer object by importing a subdirectory in GJS.
This is undocumented, but it is likely to at least hold until the whole
thing moves to ES6 modules, after which we'll be able to do this purely
in JS with Reflect.Loader.
Since this was the only thing the ShellJS library did, we can remove it
altogether.
This allows us to discontinue use of the gjs-internals-1.0 embedder API.

When the user gets long failure messages from pam, the authPrompt
message label will clip the message and ellipsize with '…'.
This commit turns off ellipsization from the label, so it will
properly wrap.

If Bluetooth is on but there aren't connected devices, the status in the
menu reads "Not in Use". This is potentially confusing: it's a negative
statement, even though Bluetooth is on. It also sits uneasily (and looks
even more confusing) next to the submenu item "Turn Off".
Changing the string to "On" is better.

This allows us to pass metadata fields besides the message
to log. So, if the log() call is made from an extension,
pass the extension name and UUID to the logger.
This is useful for extension developers to debug their code
as well as to instruct their users to send debug info to them
by running something like this:
journalctl GNOME_SHELL_EXTENSION_UUID=<extension@uuid>
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770717
Currently it's assumed only an extension can call this method. However
it can be useful if any part of the shell want to know if it was invoked
by an extension.

NM upstream would like to reduce periodic scanning, and that means
that clients should request scans themselves while their WiFi list
is open. Similar to the Windows and macOS WiFi dialogs/lists.

We currently rely on the "monitors-changed" signal of LayoutManager to
relayout the OSD window. That is not enough, since the scale factor also
changes the way the OSD window is sized, and that can be updated after
"monitors-changed" has been received.
The visual effect is that under some circumstances, the OSD window will
have the wrong size under HiDpi.
This commit fixes the issue by triggering another relayout when the
scale factor changes.

Our window matching currently fails frequently with Flatpak
applications, as one of the primary hints used to link windows
with .desktop files - the WM_CLASS - no longer matches when
flatpak renames the exported .desktop file. Worse, as Flatpak
applications are run in their own PID namespace, different
apps frequently share a common _NET_WM_PID, resulting in
unrelated apps being grouped together by one of the fallback
paths. To match Flatpak applications reliably, take the newly
exported Flatpak ID into account.

Other windows like the mutter Xwayland selection bridges might deal with
the clipboard, which would result in events visible on st-clipboard event
filters.
In order to avoid unintended results, ignore events that are not meant for
the clipboard window.

Similar to bug 667552 for the app switcher, attached modal dialogs
can result in an unexpected window order in the window switcher:
Selecting a window with an attached dialog will focus the dialog
instead, but as the dialog itself is ignored in the window list,
its last-used timestamp is not taken into account for the position
in the MRU list. Fix this by fetching the list of all NORMAL windows
and filter out skip-taskbar windows ourselves, while making sure that
windows appear in the position of their attached modal dialog where
appropriate.

We only connect to the corresponding property notifications after both
Client and RemoteSettings are ready, so we may miss the initial signal
emission. Make sure to pick up the connections in this case to fix the
network indicator not showing up.

Similar to windows on another workspace, selecting a minimized window
doesn't look quite right - the selected window disappears, then animates
back in. Fix this by adding support for skipping the next effect to the
wm and use it to bypass the unminimize animation.

Both 'cycle-group' and 'cycle-window' shortcuts allow cycling through
windows on all workspaces. While this works, it looks quite broken
since we started showing clones for highlighting: the selected window
vanishes (when its clone is destroyed), then slides back in with its
workspace. Instead, slide the selected window to its workspace like
we do for the 'move-to-workspace-*' shortcuts.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771536
Commit 3171819c improved window cycling by using a dedicated to clone
for highlighting rather than activating all cycled windows. Original
window actors are hidden while its clone is showing, and shown again
afterwards, however the latter is wrong for actors that are not supposed
to be visible (for example where the window is minimized, or on a different
workspace). Fix this by properly syncing the actor's visibility instead
of showing it unconditionally.
