Reimplement EPhotoCache to delegate the actual photo fetching to
EPhotoSources. When a photo is requested for a given email address,
all available EPhotoSources are dispatched concurrently and a photo
input stream is selected from the result set.
This also utilizes EDataCapture, which is affixed to the returned
GInputStream to capture and cache photo data for an email address.
New functions:
e_photo_cache_add_photo_source()
e_photo_cache_list_photo_sources()
e_photo_cache_remove_photo_source()
e_photo_cache_add_photo()
Renamed functions:
e_photo_cache_remove() --> e_photo_cache_remove_photo()
EPhotoSource is an interface used to extend the functionality of
EPhotoCache. You can add an object implementing EPhotoSource to an
EPhotoCache with e_photo_cache_add_photo_source() and remove it with
e_photo_cache_remove_photo_source(). When EPhotoCache needs a photo
for an email address, it will invoke e_photo_source_get_photo() on all
available EPhotoSource objects simultaneously and select one photo.
EDataCapture is a GConverter that captures data until the end of the
input data is seen, then emits a "finished" signal with the captured
data in a GBytes instance.
When used with GConverterInputStream or GConverterOutputStream, an
EDataCapture can discreetly capture stream content for the purpose
of caching.
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()
This enum type is intentionally compatible with GDateWeekday.
It exists only because GLib does not provide a GEnumClass for
GDateWeekday. If that ever changes, this enum can go away.
Returns TRUE if an EClient instance for the given source and the value
of ESourceSelector's "extension-name" property was recently discarded
after having emitted a "backend-died" signal, and a replacement EClient
instance has not yet been created.
Returns TRUE if an EClient instance for the given source and extension
name was recently discarded after having emitted a "backend-died" signal,
and a replacement EClient instance has not yet been created.
EClientSelector extends the functionality of ESourceSelector by
utilizing an EClientCache to display status information about the
backends associated with the displayed data sources.
(No backend status is displayed just yet, but that's the plan.)
New class to help reduce code duplication and centralize some EClient
handling policies.
Benefits:
- EClient instances can be shared across the entire application.
- Centralized rebroadcasting of "backend-died" and "backend-error"
signals emitted from cached EClient instances.
- Automatic cache invalidation when backends crash. The EClient
is discarded, and a new instance is created on the next request.
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.
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.
