Announce: telepathy-mission-control 5.15.0
The “any other citizen of the Queen” release.
This starts a development branch. It adds features, and probably
exciting new bugs too.
Running this version of Mission Control for the first time will
automatically migrate some account data to a new format. If you
subsequently downgrade to an older version, it will no longer understand
all account data. Taking a backup copy of
~/.local/share/telepathy/mission-control before you upgrade is recommended.

Requirements:
• GLib 2.32 is now required.
• The regression tests now require Python 2.6.
Deprecations:
• McpAccountStorage::altered, which appears to have never worked, is now
deprecated (fd.o #28288). Emit ::altered-one instead.
• mcp_account_storage_iface_set_priority() etc. are now deprecated.
Use, for instance, "iface->priority = prio" instead.
Enhancements:
• Account storage plugins (McpAccountStorageIface) may, and should,
implement the new set_attribute(), set_parameter() and owns()
methods. These methods allow the plugin to know the type of each
attribute or parameter, which is presented as a GVariant.
(fd.o #54872, Simon)
• `mc-tool get <account> AutomaticPresence` now works
(fd.o #54780, Simon)
• When running under GNOME 3 or Unity, MC will attempt to enable
connections' power-saving features while the session is idle;
this is currently effective for Google Talk XMPP connections.
(fd.o #62530; Xavier, Simon)
Fixes:
• Update to the current ConnMan D-Bus API (fd.o #56600;
Mike Ruprecht, Joshua Lock)
• If a stored parameter has a value inappropriate for its type
(e.g. require-tls=2 where the connection manager expects require-tls
to be boolean), invalidate the account, rather than treating the
value as 0, "", [] etc. (fd.o #54870, Simon)
• Handle Connection errors better, and in particular, don't try to
reconnect on SoftwareUpgradeRequired or ConnectionRefused
(fd.o #37844, Emilio Pozuelo Monfort)
• Handle errors from RequestConnection correctly, rather than as
NetworkError (fd.o #39334, Simon)
• If the stored nickname for an account is the same as the normalized
name (identifier), don't set it on connect, in case a better nickname
is stored on the server (fd.o #39381, Simon)
• Emit Properties.PropertiesChanged for URISchemes, as per the upcoming
telepathy-spec 0.27.1 (fd.o #40393, Guillaume)
• McpAccountStorage::altered-one now works as intended
(fd.o #54780, Simon)
Internal changes:
• Refactor avatar and alias handling (fd.o #55668, Simon)
• Refactor account storage (fd.o #54870, #54872; Simon)
• Improve regression test coverage for account storage
(fd.o #54873, Simon)
• Start to remove uses of functions deprecated in telepathy-glib 0.20
(fd.o #55391; Jonny, Simon)
