EShellSettings predates GSettings and is no longer necessary.
GSettings allows binding GObject properties to GSettings keys,
with optional mapping functions. That fulfills the purpose of
EShellSettings.
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.
Removes: e_binding_transform_enum_value_to_nick()
e_binding_transform_enum_nick_to_value()
Those functions now live in libedataserver/e-data-server-util.h,
which e-util.h already includes.
I pushed a few EShell features up to GtkApplication for GTK+ 3.2,
so we can now trim off the redundancies in EShell.
1) GtkApplication has a new "window-added" signal which replaces
EShell's own "window-created" signal.
2) GtkApplication has a new "window-removed" signal which replaces
EShell's own "window-destroyed" signal.
3) gtk_application_get_windows() now returns a list of windows sorted
by most recently focused, replacing e_shell_get_watched_windows().
4) GtkApplication now provides enough hooks to subclasses that we can
remove e_shell_watch_window() and call gtk_application_add_window()
directly.
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.
The EModule, EExtensible and EExtension classes as well as the
e_type_traverse() function have been moved to Evolution-Data-Server's
libebackend library to replace e-data-server-module.c.
Now Evolution-Data-Server modules use the same framework as Evolution.
With lockdown settings available through GSettings, widgets can handle
lockdown integration themselves without having to use EShellSettings.
Also fixed a few places where printing or save-to-disk actions were
either not properly wired up or not responding to lockdown settings,
but much more work needs done. Attachments, for example, are not
honoring the disable-save-to-disk setting at all.
This too requires the recently-added gsettings-desktop-schemas
dependency.
An easy way to broadcast application-wide alerts to shell windows.
These alerts will persist in all current and future shell windows
until responded to (either programmatically or by the user).
