Previously, gsd-color handled adding color devices. It got information
about those via the GnomeRR API, which is part of libgnome-desktop.
libgnome-desktop itself got this information from the
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.GetResources() D-Bus method, implemented
by mutter.
Now, mutter itself will add all the monitor color devices itself,
without having to go via gsd-color.
We sometimes need to delete colord devices synchronously, in certain
race conditions when we add and remove devices very quickly (e.g. in
tests). However, we cannot use libcolord's 'sync' API variants, as it
has a nested takes-all main loop as a way to invoke the sync call. This
effectively means we end up sometimes not return from this function in a
timely manner, causing wierd issues.
Instead, create our own sync helper, that uses a separate context that
we temporarly push as the thread-default one.

The catch option makes test run via 'catch'[1], which will log
backtraces whenever an abort or segmentation fault happens in any of the
subprocesses. The aim is to enable this when running in CI to help
debugging crashes that only tend to happen in CI.
While it's possible to wrap the whole meson command in 'catch', doing so
doesn't cover the KVM tests, so this option is added instead that covers
both cases.

This launches Xvfb, using xvfb-run, and inside tests the following:
1. Launching 'mutter --x11' works
2. Launching a couple of X11 clients works (doesn't crash or result in
warnings)
3. Launching 'mutter --x11 --replace' works
4. Terminating works
It does this using a simple shell script.

Running meson test from the build directory in a jhbuild environment
picks up libraries which have been installed previously because
LD_LIBRARY_PATH takes precendence over RUNPATH. Make the linker generate
the RPATH tag again.

This aims to replace the x,y arguments in wl_surface.attach(); meaning
it can be used more sanely together with EGL, and at all when using
Vulkan.
The most common use case for the offset is setting the hotspot of DND
surfaces.

gnome-desktop is used to retrieve the monitor vendor name which in some
use cases is not needed as it brings a bunch of gnome-desktop unwanted
dependencies.
The change makes mutter fallback to an "Undefined" vendor name if it is
built without gnome-desktop

When using Xwayland-on-demand (default), if the (experimental) autoclose
features is enabled, we can rely on Xwayland's auto-terminate feature
instead of explicitly killing the Xwayland process.
With it, gone is the mechanism that was added to check the X11 clients
connected and their executable to check whether we can (safely) kill
Xwayland.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1794>
The connection to the Xserver for the X11 window manager part of mutter
even on Wayland may prevent the Xserver from shutting down.
Currently, what mutter does is to check the X11 clients still connected
to Xwayland using the XRes extension, with a list of X11 clients that
can be safely ignored (typically the GNOME XSettings daemon, the IBus
daemon, pulseaudio and even mutter window manager itself).
When there is just those known clients remaining, mutter would kill
Xwayland automatically.
But that's racy, because between the time mutter checks with Xwayland
the remaining clients and the time it actually kills the process, a new
X11 client might have come along and won't be able to connect to
Xwayland that mutter is just about to kill.
Because of that, the feature “autoclose-xwayland” is marked as an
experimental feature in mutter and not enabled by default.
Thankfully, the Xserver has all it takes to manage that already, and
is even capable of terminating itself once all X11 clients are gone (the
-terminate option on the command line).
With XFixes version 6, the X11 clients can declare themselves
"terminatable", so that the Xserver could simply ignore those X11
clients when checking the remaining clients and terminate itself
automatically.
Use that mechanism to declare mutter's own connection to the Xserver as
"terminatable" when Xwayland is started on demand so that it won't hold
Xwayland alive for the sole purpose of mutter itself.

gtk-doc support was taken out about six years ago, but never replaced.

This commit makes it possible to run test executables in a test
environment constructed of a virtual machine running the Linux kernel
with the virtual KMS driver enabled, and a mocked system environment
using meta-dbus-runner.py/python-dbusmock.
The qemu machine is configured to use 256M of memory, as the default
128M was not enough for the tests to pass.
Using qemu is also only made possible on x86_64; more changes are needed
for it to be runnable on aarch64, so add a warning if it was enabled on
any other architecture.

Since the CI pipeline now runs `meson dist` which includes a test
for an up-to-date NEWS entry, post-branch/release version bumps
have become unwieldy.
It's still useful to increase the API version right after branching
though, so return to bumping it manually and do so now.

Easily seeing the buildtype and debug status can be quite useful.
Gnome-Shell already has it.

Create a test system bus and use it to run all the tests, add a mock
SensorsProxy (via dbusmock template) server that implements the
net.hadess.SensorProxy interface.
To make testing easier, the service is created on request of a proxy for
it, whose lifetime controls the mock service lifetime as well.
This is done using a further mock service that is used to manage the
others, using python-dbusmock to simplify the handling.
Add basic tests for the orientation manager.
As per the usage dbusmock, we're now launching all the tests under such
wrapper, so that local dbus environment won't ever considered, and
there's no risk that it may affect the tests results both locally and in
CI.

To utilize the API provided by libsystemd it would be better to

Tests that creating and starting a virtual screen cast monitor works,
and that at least one one buffer is processed.
Currently the content of the buffer isn't checked more than it can be
mmap():ed. Only MemFd buffers are tested for for now, as DMA buffers

Current Xwayland has marked the command line option "-listen" as
deprecated in favor of "-listenfd".
Use the pkg-config variable "have_listenfd" (if available) from Xwayland
to determine if we should use that option, to avoid a deprecation
warning when spawning Xwayland.

Currently, mutter checks for the presence of X11 windows to decide
whether or not Xwayland can be terminated, when Xwayland is started on
demand.
Unfortunately, not all X11 clients will map a window all the time, an
X11 client may keep the X11 connection opened after closing all its
windows. In that case, we may terminate Xwayland while there are some
X11 client connected still, and terminating Xwayland will also kill
those X11 clients.
To avoid that issue, check the X11 clients actually connected using the
XRes extension. The XRes extension provides the PID of the (local) X11
clients connected to the Xserver, so we need to match that against the
actual executable names, and compare with a list of known executables
that we can safely ignore, such as ibus-x11 or gsd-xsettings.
We also check against our own executable name, considering that the X11
window manager is also an X11 client connected to the Xserver.
Also, XRes returning the PID of local clients only is not a problem
considering that Xwayland does not listen to remote connections.
However, if the user spawns a client remotely on another system using
ssh tunneling (ssh -X), only clients which actually map a window will
be accounted for.

Some GSettings schemas moved from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas
in g-s-d 40.alpha. 40.alpha.1 didn't include the corresponding
adjustment, so do a quick follow-up release to not abort on startup
with the latest g-s-d release.
I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
Xwayland in its main development branch now provides a pkg-config file
which can be used to determine Xwayland installation path and various
options enabled at build time.
Change mutter build system to optionally use that mechanism if
available. If not (as with Xwayland from the current stable branch),
keep the fallback mechanisms (basically search for the Xwayland and parse
its command line options to determine if initfd is available).

If this call is available, we can turn libX11 IO errors (fatal by definition)
into something we can recover from. Try to dispose all X11 resources and close
the display instead, so the compositor can survive the event.

Fedora's mutter is built with --auto-features=enabled which enables
-initfd support. But the current meson code doesn't check whether
-initfd is available in Xwayland, leading to the wayland session not
starting up.
Check for -initfd's availability before enabling it.

Mutter itself is versioned now, so passing the version information
to the plugin is redunant now: The version is already determined by

Now that cogl understands them, hook wl_shm up so they can be used.

GLib will now be linking against sysprof-capture-4.a. To support that,
sysprof had to remove the GLib dependency from sysprof-capture-4 which
had the side-effect of breaking ABi.
This bumps the dependency and includes a fallback to compile just the
libsysprof-capture-4.a using a subproject wrap.

Add MetaAnonymousFile, an abstraction around anonymous read-only files.
Files can be created by calling meta_anonymous_file_new(), passing the
data of the file. Subsequent calls to meta_anonymous_file_open_fd()
return a fd that's ready to be sent over the socket.
When mapmode is META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_PRIVATE the fd is only
guaranteed to be mmap-able readonly with MAP_PRIVATE but does not
require duplicating the file for each resource when memfd_create is
available. META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_SHARED may be used when the
client must be able to map the file with MAP_SHARED but it also means
that the file has to be duplicated even when memfd_create is available.
