Public bug reported:

This bug is to request a feature freeze exception in order to land the
work done to implement bottom-edge gesture commanded tabs view in
webbrowser-app, on touch devices.

On desktop, the mechanism to open the list of open tabs remains
unchanged (from the drawer menu), although the view itself has been
revamped a bit to conform to the latest visual designs (and that affects
both touch and desktop).

Note that this doesn’t affect at all the webapp container.

The relevant merge request is: https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/bottom-edge/+merge/248019.
Although the diff is huge, most of it is code imported from lp:unity8 to leverage the DirectionalDragArea component, which is not available publicly in the UITK yet (but is being considered for inclusion). This imported code will eventually go away, I am actively lobbying to get it integrated in the UITK.

The feature itself has been in development for several months (since the
beginning of the vivid cycle really, with many interruptions in
between). I was hoping to land it before feature freeze, but it didn’t
happen because of shuffled priorities.

The design specification is available at
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/presentation/d/1Qrd4Flfs3EH-
fI79IfrYgLdAx2nce-L7ve8NKLCX324/edit#slide=id.g2acbd6553_031. This is a
partial implementation only, agreed upon with design (the complete
feature will land in several iterations).
