The D-Bus bridge was the oldest one and using the legacy `dbus-python` implementation. In
addition to be dependent on GLib, this implementation has numerous issues and it's even
recommanded on its own documentation to use alternative.
On the other hand, txdbus is Twisted native D-Bus implementation and can be used natively
with asyncio reactor.
Regenerated bridges.
- D-Bus bridge check if it can import GLib, to raise early a BridgeInitError if it's not
possible
- PB bridge now do lazy import of `reactor` to avoid race condition in Twisted loop
initialisation.
- regenerated bridges.
- Add the `txtorcon` optional dependency, used with `tor` extra.
- Add settings for Tor.
- Use Tor endpoint when an `.onion` XMPP domain is used, of when Tor is explicitely
enabled in conf.
- Disable WebRTC, for now it's the safer option as WebRTC can leak IP. It should be
possible to use it over Tor by forcing the use of a .onion relay, but this is to be
explored later (A/V should be to slow to be usable, but that stay relevant for file
transfer or other WebRTC powered things).
- A new `treq` instance using Tor WebAgent is used when Tor is enabled. Properties has
been added to SatXMPPEntity to conveniently get the right instance.
- Another `tor_mode` property has been added with corresponding bridge methods, to see if
Tor is activated and in which mode for a given profile. For now there are only two modes
(disabled, and enabled with WebRTC disabled), but in the future it may be possible to
activate WebRTC over Tor, or to use Tor only to connect to XMPP server, while using
clearnet for other connections.
- Tor dedicated models have been added, and bridge methods have been added to build and
get them.
- Fix tests.

This is a huge configuration refactoring.
The configuration system now uses Pydantic settings, with better validation, better
support for environment variables and other goodies.
The main config files now use TOML instead of INI, this allow for better handling of
complex types, notably dict.
Plugins, components and frontends can declare their config settings in a class which will
be imported dynamically.
A new `record_fd` argument can now be used to specify a file descriptor. If set, the
incoming stream will be written there.
For now `record_fd` must be specified on `WebRTC` creation. In the future, it should
be possible to add or remove it it during a call.
Update the pipeline workflow to handle `SourcesStdin`. A `decodebin` is used to autodetect
the stream type, then audio and/or video elements are created and plugged accordingly.
When packets are lost, artefacts appear and the remove stream video quickly becomes mush
(can be reproduced by blocking UDP for few seconds). To recover from this situation, the
video pad is monitored for GAP events, and when they occur, a new keyframe is requested 1s
after the last GAP.
- Each video source (webcam, desktop, muted) has now a specific config, to adapt
framerate, bitrate and keyframe max distance.
- Improve logging.
- Tuned pipeline to make it error resilient and improve bitrate.
Buffer and wait for remote description to be set before sending ICE candidate. This avoids
the sending of ICE candidates before the negotiation is done.
- MbData is now a Pydantic based model.
- Bridge method has been updated to use `service` and `node` from MbData instead of using
separate fields.
- Added `In-Reply-To` to MbData.
- Adapted code using XEP-0277 to work with the changes.

This is the frontends common part of remote control implementation. It handle the creation
of WebRTC session, and management of inputs. For now the reception use freedesktop.org
Desktop portal, and works mostly with Wayland based Desktop Environments.

This is a series of changes necessary to prepare the implementation of remote control
feature:
- XEP-0166: add a `priority` attribute to `ApplicationData`: this is needed when several
applications are working in a same session, to know which one must be handled first.
Will be used to make Remote Control have precedence over Call content.
- XEP-0166: `_call_plugins` is now async and is not used with `DeferredList` anymore: the
benefit to have methods called in parallels is very low, and it cause a lot of trouble
as we can't predict order. Methods are now called sequentially so workflow can be
predicted.
- XEP-0167: fix `senders` XMPP attribute <=> SDP mapping
- XEP-0234: preflight acceptance key is now `pre-accepted` instead of `file-accepted`, so
the same key can be used with other jingle applications.
- XEP-0167, XEP-0343: move some method to XEP-0167
- XEP-0353: use new `priority` feature to call preflight methods of applications according
to it.
- frontend (webrtc): refactor the sources/sink handling with a more flexible mechanism
based on Pydantic models. It is now possible to have has many Data Channel as necessary,
to have them in addition to A/V streams, to specify manually GStreamer sources and
sinks, etc.
- frontend (webrtc): rework of the pipeline to reduce latency.
- frontend: new `portal_desktop` method. Screenshare portal handling has been moved there,
and RemoteDesktop portal has been added.
- frontend (webrtc): fix `extract_ufrag_pwd` method.
rel 436
- file send/receive commands now supports webRTC transfer. In `send` command, the
`--webrtc` flags is currenty used to activate it.
- WebRTC related code have been factorized and moved to `libervia.frontends.tools.webrtc*`
modules.
rel 442
- the `merge_pip` option is now used to indicate if local feedback and remote video
streams must be merged with local feedback being a PiP of remote video. By default, it's
done for `SINKS_AUTO`, but it can be manually specified to use it with `SINKS_APP` or to
split ``SINKS_AUTO`` in 2 windows.
- target size of the compositor used with `merge_pip` can be specified. By default, 720p
is used.
rel 428
- Freedesktop Desktop Screenshare port is now used when Wayland is detected (needs
`xdg-desktop-portal` with the implementation corresponding to desktop environment).
- Add a binding feature to feedback state to application (e.g. if desktop sharing is
cancelled from desktop environment, or at portal's permission request level).
- fix misnaming of video source (was wrongly named `camera` instead of `video`).
- fix desktop sharing pad selection in `input-selector` when it has been added once, then
removed, then added again.
rel 434
`init_script_path` option can be used in `[DEFAULTS]` to run a script at the end of
backend initialisation. A new `init_pre_script` method is used to wait for backend to
reach this stage (designed to be used mostly by CLI frontend), then the usual `ready_get`
method is finished once the script is finished.
this is a factored implementation usable by all non-web frontends. Sources and Sinks can
be configured easily to use tests source or local webcam/microphone, autosinks or a
`appsink` that the frontend will use.
rel 426
- `run_from_thread` can be used to run a method from a thread.
- `maybe_async` can be used to run a method if we are not sure if it's async or not.
- `install_glib_asyncio_iteration` run the GLib loop from asyncio one's.
