Since this change the client is responsible to provide credentials
to use to authenticate backends (through ESource-s, to be more precise),
unless the credentials are already saved.
A simple Evolution run and move between all views means creation of
more than 100 GSettings objects, with only a bit more than 10 schemas.
Reusing the objects should have a positive impact on a performance too.
The Calendar, Memos and Tasks views use to do D-Bus calls to
the backends on the main (UI) thread, which could result in UI
freezes, until the operation was done on the backend (and server)
side. This commit fixes that by invoking the operations in
a dedicated thread. It has few additional advantages too:
- operations can be cancelled
- proper error reporting to a user
- less code duplication between the views for common operations
There had been fixed some performance issues when selecting/unselecting
sources in the source selector as well.
This makes evolution depend on theme-defined named colors, namely:
theme_bg_color
theme_base_color
theme_fg_color
theme_text_color
theme_selected_bg_color
theme_selected_fg_color
theme_unfocused_selected_bg_color
theme_unfocused_selected_fg_color
If it's not defined, then a fallback color is used, in the worse case
one of the fallbacks defined in evolution itself.
This is a follow-up for the previous commit, where e_signal_connect_notify*()
functions had been added. Due to a different callback and user data being
attached to the 'notify' signal, the g_signal_handlers_*() functions do not
work properly, thus these e_signal_connect_notify*() functions need
a different way for a signal handler disconnect.
A side-change was done in e-settings-web-view-gtkhtml.c, checking for a real
key change from GSettings.
This is related to bug 698275, which did not cover all cases.
The problem here is that the dconf can in certain situation claim
that everything changed (path "/" changed), which GSettingsBinding
propagates to a GObject property unconditionally and GObject's
property setter (g_object_set_property()) also notifies about
the property change unconditionally, despite the real descendant
property setter properly checks for the value change. After all
these false notifications a callback on "notify" signal is called
and possibly an expensive operation is run.
Checking whether the value really changed helps in performance, for
which were added new e-util functions:
e_signal_connect_notify()
e_signal_connect_notify_after()
e_signal_connect_notify_swapped()
e_signal_connect_notify_object()
which have the same prototype as their GLib counterparts, but they allow
only "notify::..." signals and they test whether the value really changed
before they call the registered callback.
This ports the following two function calls throughout Evolution:
• e_categories_get_list() to e_categories_dup_list()
• e_categories_get_icon_file_for() to e_categories_dup_icon_file_for()
It necessarily changes some internal e-util API:
• e_util_get_searchable_categories() to
e_util_dup_searchable_categories()
This bumps the EDS requirement to 3.13.1.

This makes the code free of Coverity scan issues.
It is sometimes quite pedantic and expects/suggests some
coding habits, thus certain changes may look weird, but for a good
thing, I hope. The code is also tagged with Coverity scan
suppressions, to keep the code as is and hide the warning too.
Also note that Coverity treats g_return_if_fail(), g_assert() and
similar macros as unreliable, and it's true these can be disabled
during the compile time, thus it brings in other set of 'weird'
changes.
It could happen that header text color had been picked white one time,
but the other time black as expected (for me usually when I started
Evolution in Calendar and moved to Mail view, the header text color
was white, while when starting in Mail view it was black). The change
to use GtkStyleContext is there only as a cleanup from deprecated
GtkStyle, and to make things easier too, because both GtkStyle
and the GtkStyleContext had set white color for some reason.
Loads a UI definition into a GtkUIManager from Evolution's UI directory.
We actually had this function for a brief period during the 2.29 series,
before Express Mode was a thing. I'm reviving the function to take over
for EUIManager.
These aren't as efficient as possible, but are as clear as possible.
New functions:
e_weekday_add_days()
e_weekday_subtract_days()
e_weekday_get_days_between()
Evolution consists of entirely too many small utility libraries, which
increases linking and loading time, places a burden on higher layers of
the application (e.g. modules) which has to remember to link to all the
small in-tree utility libraries, and makes it difficult to generate API
documentation for these utility libraries in one Gtk-Doc module.
Merge the following utility libraries under the umbrella of libeutil,
and enforce a single-include policy on libeutil so we can reorganize
the files as desired without disrupting its pseudo-public API.
libemail-utils/libemail-utils.la
libevolution-utils/libevolution-utils.la
filter/libfilter.la
widgets/e-timezone-dialog/libetimezonedialog.la
widgets/menus/libmenus.la
widgets/misc/libemiscwidgets.la
widgets/table/libetable.la
widgets/text/libetext.la
This also merges libedataserverui from the Evolution-Data-Server module,
since Evolution is its only consumer nowadays, and I'd like to make some
improvements to those APIs without concern for backward-compatibility.
And finally, start a Gtk-Doc module for libeutil. It's going to be a
project just getting all the symbols _listed_ much less _documented_.
But the skeletal structure is in place and I'm off to a good start.
