---------------
mir (0.9.0+15.04.20141125-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Aguirre ]
  * New upstream release 0.9.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.9.0)
    - Enhancements:
      . New simpler API to configure and run a mir server.
      . The event loop is now based on GLib's main loop library instead of
        Boost.Asio.
      . For Android platforms, the server now sends buffer fence fds to its
        clients instead of potentially stalling the compositor thread waiting
        for them to be signalled.
      . New client debug interface to translate from surface to screen
        coordinates.
    - ABI summary: Servers need rebuilding, but clients do not;
      . Mirclient ABI unchanged at 8
      . Mircommon ABI bumped to 3
      . Mirplatform ABI bumped to 4
      . Mirserver ABI bumped to 27
    - Bug fixes:
      . Add a debug interface to translate from surface to screen coordinates
        (LP: #1346633)
      . Ensure a buffer requested by a surface is not delivered
        after the surface is deleted (LP: #1376324)
      . Overlays are not displayed onscreen in some positions (LP: #1378326)
      . Server aborts when an exception is thrown from the main thread
        (LP: #1378740)
      . Fix race causing lost alarm notifications (LP: #1381925)
      . Avoid lifecycle notifications racing with connection release
        (LP: #1386646)
      . Improve error checking and reporting for the client library
       (LP: #1390388)
      . Mir demo-shell now detects power button using proper Linux scan codes
       (LP: #1303817)
      . A prompt session with an invalid application pid should be an error
        (LP: #1377968)
      . When XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is defined but pointing to a non-existing
        directory use "/tmp" (LP: #1304873)
      . [regression] demo-shell bypass is not used on fullscreen surfaces if
        there are windowed surfaces behind (LP: #1378706)
      . Mir upgrade through dist-upgrade installs incorrect platform
        (LP: #1378995)

      . Stop the default_lifecycle_event_handler raising SIGHUP while
        disconnecting (LP: #1386185)
      . [regression] Mir fails to build with MIR_ENABLE_TESTS=OFF (LP: #1388539)

Title:
  [enhancement] Autopilot testing needs to know screen coordinates of
  widgets on screen

Status in Autopilot:
  Won't Fix
Status in Mir:
  Fix Committed
Status in Qt integration with the Mir display server:
  Confirmed
Status in “mir” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “qtubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On phablet devices, Autopilot needs to determine the absolute
  coordinates of any item on screen, in order to generate input events
  to interact with those items.

  Most toolkits give AP the ability to calculate the coordinates of an
  item inside the surface, i.e. relative to the surface top-left corner,
  and then obtain the position of the window from the display server
  (X11 usually) to calculate the absolute position.

  However Mir does not have an API to let its clients find the surface
  position relative to the screen. There is also a desire from the Mir
  team not to supply this information.

  We need to discuss how to solve this problem in a way everyone is
  happy
