[Tim <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the full list of API changes for gnome-desktop, keep in mind
that most of these were moved into display-config (and/or made redundant
by those changes). There are no rdepends in the archive that use any of
these (apart from g-s-d/g-c-c and u-s-d/u-c-c which already have patches
prepared on this FFe)

Removed:
gnome_rr_screen_set_size
gnome_rr_screen_get_timestamps
gnome_rr_screen_set_primary_output
gnome_rr_output_is_connected
gnome_rr_output_get_backlight_min
gnome_rr_output_get_backlight_max
gnome_rr_output_get_size_inches
gnome_rr_crtc_set_config_with_time
gnome_rr_output_get_connector_type
gnome_rr_config_save
gnome_rr_config_apply_from_filename_with_time
gnome_rr_config_apply_with_time
gnome_rr_config_get_backup_filename
gnome_rr_config_get_intended_filename
gnome_rr_config_load_filename
gnome_rr_config_new_stored

Changed:
gnome_rr_output_is_laptop -> gnome_rr_output_is_builtin_display
gnome_rr_output_get_backlight (remove gerror param)
gnome_rr_output_get_ids_from_edid (type changes for some params)
gnome_rr_output_get_width_mm -> gnome_rr_output_get_physical_size
gnome_rr_output_get_height_mm -> gnome_rr_output_get_physical_sizels
gnome_idle_monitor_new_for_device (adds gerror)

Bug description:
  Ubuntu GNOME would like to transition for gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-
  control-center 3.10. This however requires a transition to gnome-
  desktop 3-10. I have been working on this for quite some time however
  this work was essentially blocked waiting on the unity- forks for
  settings daemon and control center. These were only finalised the day
  before feature freeze.

  Right now there are quite a few features that are not available for
  configuration in g-c-c given it is so old. We are also hitting some
  odd bugs with mutter using its own display config separate to what
  gnome-settings-daemon is doing with xrandr.

  For GNOME 3.10, all the display configuration/xrandr code has been
  moved into Mutter as dbus interface. The Main reason for this move was
  to abstract away the display server (x11/wayland). Apart from these
  changes there were no significant changes in the API.

  This affects gnome-desktop3 and gnome-settings-daemon. In particular
  the changes in gnome-desktop would create a gigantic mess if we tried
  to revert these changes for Unity only. As such have forked the
  display config code from mutter and ported *-settings-daemon and
  *-control-center to the new api. The code itself is fairly self
  contained, so apart from the resulting duplication of code, it
  shouldnt really be much of an issue.

  We have tested this via a ppa, however it was hard to get extensive
  testing, due to the amount of archive churn in the affected packages.
  I am pretty confident there are no much regressions and I will commit
  to fixing any issues to do appear.

  Essentially this transition will involve:
  new displayconfig package: This is the relevant code forked from mutter 3.10.4 (with a couple of fixes from 3.11 backported), wrapped up in a daemon. This gets autostarted when required by g/u-s-d (although dbus activation may be broken in flashback session)
  my upstream branch is at https://github.com/darkxst/displayconfig (I had trouble working out how to import a git branch into bzr, but I imagine it should live in bzr once approved)

  gnome/unity-settings-daemon, have backported patches to adapt to the new API.
  Likewise for gnome/unity-control-center.
  All other rdepends just require a no-change rebuild to adapt to the new soname.

  Assuming this gets a approved, subsequent FFe's for gnome-settings-
  daemon and gnome-control-center 3.10 will follow.
