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.
This was a remaining thing from the 'Make calendar views non-UI-blocking'
work, to show progress of views in UI. This is currently done by a spinner
beside source's name in the ESourceSelector and a tooltip above that row.
Added features:
- show all four selectors (for Calendars/Memos/Tasks/Books)
- be able to open/close selected source
Especially the later can be used for testing the factories easily,
without running evolution or other client. There can be added more
actions on an opened EClient descendant in the future, if it'll be
found useful.
ESourceSelector can now optionally display an icon next to each ESource
matching the selector's "extension-name". Intended for non-homogeneous
use cases where a variety of account types are shown in the selector.
The icon set is hard-coded, but we could change that if the need arises.
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.
