Having buttons without an awful.util.table.join/gears.table.join
has never been officially documented to be supported. I hope there
isn't too many of those and they wont try to mix the new and old
API syntax, because that will totally break.
This is needed because if async code is run inside of a tooltip timer func the started property may not still be false.
The current version causes random spurious timer already started errors.
This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
It also add some properties such as `border_width`, `border_color`
and `preferred_alignments`.
It also fix a documentation bug where the `margin_topleft` was called
`margins_topleft`. To conform to the documentation, both are now valid
but one should be removed the next time the API changes.
Fixes#1978
By passing the geometry, important information used by
awful.placement.next_to were "lost". Given `next_to` supports both
widget position, the mouse and client/wibox relative positioning, it
has to know the object type.
Several themes use `dpi(2)` which is quite thick, and it is better to
use the default of 0 here, instead of `beautiful.border_width`, which is
meant for borders on clients.
For setting the shape of the tooltip, this code creates an image surface
describing the wanted shape. After this commit, this image surface is
finished when it is no longer needed. This results in most of the
image's memory to be freed immediately instead of only later when the
garbage collector collects the image surface.

* Move table functions out of awful.util into new gears.table
* travis: Use v9999 prefix for full requests
Make sure no newly deprecated functions are used
* Move all `awful.util.table.*` calls to `gears.table.*` calls
Move table test functions from awful/util_spec to new gears/table_spec
Change awful.util.subsets call to gears.math.subsets in awful/key.lua
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

This makes awful.tooltip create its tooltip lazily when it is first needed
instead of immediately when the tooltip is created.

I have no idea why this needs collectgarbage() to be called twice.
On the other hand, I can explain the change in tooltip.lua. Lua 5.2 introduced
"ephermeron tables". This means that in the following sitation, lua 5.2 can
collect the entry from the table, while 5.1 keeps the entry alive, because the
table has a strong reference to the value and that in turn has a strong
reference to the key:
t = setmetatable({}, { __mode = "k"})
do
local k = {}
t[k] = function() print(k) end
end
collectgarbage("collect")
print(next(t, nil))
To handle this incompatibility, this commit just removes the whole indirection
through the module-level variable "data".

This is used by `tooltip.place` then to tie the tooltip to the screen of
the mouse. Without this, a tooltip from the tasklist might get moved to
the screen above the tasklist, if it gets considered to be on that
screen given its coordinates.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/437.
The tooltip might be partly outside of the screen, and especially the
workarea, e.g. for tooltips on the tasklist.
Calling `awful.placement.no_offscreen` makes sure that it is fully
inside, and will even restrict it to the workarea, not only to the screen.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/409.
Because of `placement.under_mouse` (and without
`placement.no_offscreen` fixing it), this will cause the tooltip to hide
immediately again.
There is no need for hooking into this signal, but this adds a click
handler to close the tooltip when clicking into it.
