This protocol lifts some functionality from the gtk-shell protocol,
namely the ability to tag dialogs as modal. Ensure to use this
new protocol if available for the task, instead of the gtk-shell
protocol.
We are now using APIs that were introduced in 2.75.x, so let's use glib-2.76.0
here for our glib subproject.
Update the build and gobject-introspection items accordingly
Dummy dependencies are not required to execute a subproject
automatically for providing a program, nor do you need to explicitly
call subproject() to do that.
A `[provide]` section in the wrap file is enough.
Subprojects that use meson.override_dependency() do not require the
caller to provide the dependency variable name inside the subproject.
We also don't want to provide the *subproject* name, because the
subproject name can be `pango-1.50.12` instead of `pango` when using
wrap-file to download the tarball instead of using wrap-git. This
causes the pango subproject to be executed twice when using gtk as
a subproject inside gstreamer (which uses pango-1.50.12 as
a wrap-file).
All the dependencies we use can be switched in this way, but the
remaining ones need to be changed to use meson.override_dependency()
first.
This makes the hotspot of DND surfaces work when using the Vulkan and
OpenGL renderers.
This bumps the CI image used to the newly built image. This is needed to
install a new enough libwayland-client.so needed for wl_surface.offset.
This is done by adding wayland as a meson subproject, building it
on-demand if the version in the system is not new enough. As
libwayland-client.so is pulled in implicitly when linking to gtk4, the
compile step needs LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to make ld find the right library
to link to.
Add support for the tiff format, which is flexible
enough to handle all our memory texture formats
without loss.
As a consequence, we are now linking against libtiff.
Using libpng instead of the lowest-common-denominator
gdk-pixbuf loader. This will allow us to load >8bit data,
and apply gamma and color correction in the future.
For now, this still just provides RGBA8 data.
As a consequence, we are now linking against libpng.
There is no reason to fallback to find_library for cairo and still rely
on pkg-config for all other dependencies, and just when using MSVC. When
building and pkg-config is not working it is preferable to fallback to a
subproject just like for all other dependencies.
Also add cairo.wrap now that meson support has been merged upstream.
Sysprof has moved to a new ABI which removes GLib from the capture library
so that GLib itself can link against sysprof-capture.
This bumps the library ABI so we can keep things coordinated between all
the new tracing layers in the stack.
To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.

ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform
