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 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.
Move the supporting widgets for the contact maps feature alongside
EABContactDisplay. Removing them from libeutil helps isolate our usage
of libchamplain so it's not imposed on the entire application, and even
3rd party software. That libchamplain is an optional dependency only
further complicates the matter.
Ideally I'd like to somehow isolate this feature in an extension module,
but we currently lack sufficient hooks for such an extension. So this
arrangement will have to suffice for now.
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.
- Don't use the term "eplugin" for modules.
- Use the term "plugin" instead of "eplugin" for plugins.
- Split SpamAssassin settings into a separate schema.
We have a confusing array of nearly-identical CFLAGS/LIBS definitions in
configure.ac. Time to simplify. Instead let's just have one definition
that includes all the libraries provided by Evolution-Data-Server (incl.
Camel). That, in combination with GNOME_PLATFORM, gives us most of what
we need for compliation and linking, and we can sprinkle definitions for
additional library dependencies in Makefile.am's as needed.
Add e_alert_dialog_get_content_area(), which returns the GtkVBox
containing the primary and secondary labels. Use this instead of
gtk_dialog_get_content_area() to maintain the dialog's left margin
beneath the image.
Still remaining:
GtkAccessible::widget
GtkAssistant::forward
GtkAssistant::back
GtkObject::flags
GtkTreeStore::stamp
The GtkAssistant fields are related to bug #596428. We don't
need accessor functions so much as the enhancement described
there implemented.

The changes are mainly including the e-alert-header.h header instead of just
e-alert.h. This allows us to include e-alert.h in non-UI situations when
necessary.
The EError mechanism is used both for error dialogs as well as basic alerts or
user prompts, so we should give it a more general name which matches this use.
This patch also cleans up a few includes of e-alert.h (formerly e-error.h) that
were not actually being used.

- Require all EPlugin and EPluginHook subtypes be registered before
loading plugins. This drastically simplifies the EPlugin/EPluginHook
negotiation.
- Turn most EPluginHook subtypes into GTypeModules and register their
types from an e_module_load() function (does not include shell hooks).
- Convert EPluginLib and the Mono and Python bindings to GTypeModules
and register their types from an e_module_load() function, and kill
EPluginTypeHook.
