All the mode or visibility changes require `wl_surface_commit` to be
applied. gtk-layer-shell will attempt to force GTK to commit, but may
fail if the surface has stopped receiving frame callbacks[^1].
Thus, we could get stuck in a state where the bar is hidden and unable
to regain visibility.
To address this, a new API has been added to gtk-layer-shell,
`gtk_layer_try_force_commit`, which does `wl_surface_commit` with the
necessary safety checks to avoid corrupting GTK internal state.
Note: this change bumps gtk-layer-shell requirement to 0.9.0.

waybar(5) describes the configuration syntax but doesn't mention how
the stylesheets are handled.
This documentation would have been helpful to me as i figured out how
to configure waybar.
The WP component loader API has changed to be asynchronous, so implement a (GAsyncReadyCallback)-based loader to manage them. Logging integration change was required for 0.5.0 RCs but not for the 0.5.0 release.
Fix clang-tidy and clang-format warnings. Note these are significantly wider than the changes for 0.5.0 so optional beyond the existing patchset.
We introduce a module in charge to display and toggle on click the
power profiles via power-profiles-daemon.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon
This daemon is pretty widespread. It's the component used by Gnome and
KDE to manage the power profiles. The power management daemon is a
pretty important software component for laptops and other
battery-powered devices.
We're using the daemon DBus interface to:
- Fetch the available power profiles.
- Track the active power profile.
- Change the active power profile.
The original author recently gave up maintenance on the project. The
Upower group took over the maintenance burden… …and created a new
DBus name for the project. The old name is still advertised for now.
We use the old name for compatibility sake: most distributions did not
release 0.20, which introduces this new DBus name. We'll likely revisit
this in the future and point to the new bus name. See the inline
comment for more details.
Given how widespread this daemon is, I activated the module in the
default configuration.
BREAKING CHANGE: gtk-layer-shell is now required and unconditionally
used. The corresponding config option is removed.
As a part of preparation for future versions of GTK, remove an ability
to use wlr-layer-shell directly. The APIs it required were dropped in
GTK4, and with the menus/tooltips positioning issue being practically
unsolvable it doesn't make sense to keep maintaining the code.
We already use it without checking (`<gio/gdesktopappinfo.h>` in
wlr/taskbar), it's a transitive dependency of GTK and it's always
available on Unix platforms.
The `<experimental/filesystem>` and `-lc++experimental` aren't needed
since LLVM 9.0. And since we now require C++20, checking for the
`<filesystem>` support shouldn't be necessary either.
