No disrespect to past maintainers, documenters and contributers, but the
Credits section of Evolution's About dialog is a mess and needs a reset.
The list of authors and documenters is YEARS out of date, and it's not
feasible to maintain a complete list of contributors for a project this
large and this old.
Reset the authors list to myself, Milan and Dan and the documenters list
to Andre -- with a nod to past contributers.
e_config_add_skip_check()
e_config_class_remove_factory()
e_config_create_window()
e_config_page_get()
e_config_page_next()
e_config_page_prev()
e_config_set_page_is_finish()
Also remove E_CONFIG_ASSISTANT and all the assistant support therein.
Keep the EMailUISession define its own implementation of
CamelSession::alert_user(). It's good for couple reasons:
a) dialog is shown above Evolution itself (has parent)
b) info dialogs are shown in an alert bar
e_shell_backend_get_data_dir() already creates the user's data directory
for mail, so there's no need to try and create the directory again.
This eliminates the only usage of the E_SHELL_MIGRATE_ERROR domain.
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.
This way it'll be possible to copy whole files if change in one
of them will be done. A real code reuse, rather than copy, would be
ideal, but the trust-prompt is just a module for evolution-user-prompter.
If all columns are hidden, then header of a GtkTreeView is also hidden,
thus there is no way to show columns again, which results in empty
Certificate Preferences view.
Now we have the following extension points in the GType hierarchy:
E_TYPE_MAIL_FORMATTER_EXTENSION
E_TYPE_MAIL_FORMATTER_PRINT_EXTENSION
E_TYPE_MAIL_FORMATTER_QUOTE_EXTENSION
E_TYPE_MAIL_PARSER_EXTENSION
A registry just needs to be given one of these extension points, and it
can use g_type_children() to find and load all registered extensions.
This eliminates e-mail-format-extensions.[ch] as well as the dynamic
loaders I added a few commits back. Dynamically loaded extensions are
now easier to register, at the cost of internal extensions being a tad
more cumbersome to register. Fair tradeoff, imo.
This also makes e_mail_extension_registry_add_extension() a private
function used only by e_mail_formatter_extension_registry_load() and
e_mail_parser_extension_registry_load().
