The current API call to animate a window does not feel very JavaScripty.
Therefore a new method "animate" is added to the global scope, which
takes a JavaScript object of the following structure:
{
window: EffectWindow, /* the window to animate, required */
duration: int, /* duration in msec, required */
curve: QEasingCurve.Type, /* global easing curve, optional */
type: Effect.Attribute, /* for first animation, optional */
from: FPx2, /* for first animation, optional */
to: FPx2, /* for first animation, optional */
delay: int, /* for first animation, optional */
animations: [ /* additional animations, optional */
{
curve: QEasingCurve.Type, /* overrides global */
type: Effect.Attribute,
from: FPx2,
to: FPx2,
delay: int
}
]
}
At least one animation needs to be specified either on the root level
or in the array of animations. Curve is the only property on root level
which is used in the animations, if not provided.

A script can register a callback through registerUserActionsMenu to be
informed when the UserActionsMenu is about to be shown. This menu calls
the Scripting component to gather actions to add to a Scripts submenu.
The Scripting component now asks all scripts for the actions, which will
invoke the registered callbacks with the Client for which the menu is to
be shown as argument.
The callback is supposed to return a JSON structure describing how the
menu should look like. The returned object can either be a menu item or
a complete menu. If multiple menu items or menus are supposed to be added
by the script it should just register multiple callbacks.
The structure for an item looks like the following:
{
text: "My caption",
checkable: true,
checked: false,
triggered: function (action) {
print("The triggered action as parameter");
}
}
The structure for a complete menu looks quite similar:
{
text: "My menu caption",
items: [
{...}, {...} // items as described above
]
}
The C++ part of the script parses the returned object and generates
either QAction or QMenu from it. All objects become children of the
scripts QMenu provided by the UserActionsMenu.
Before the menu is shown again the existing menu is deleted to ensure
that no outdated values from no longer existing scripts are around. This
means the scripts are queried each time the menu is shown.

KConfigGroup is not the least thread safe and unfortunately
the KServiceTypeTrader::self()->query() will in doubt create
one if the sycoca database was damaged.

(cherry picked from commit e3edcbcf66b324febcc2014ca4c1fbfa383d8972)
A new global method is exported to perform a remote method call
through D-Bus. The call is always performed async invoking a
callback once the call completed passing through the arguments
received from D-Bus.
Possible code looks like the following:
callDBus("org.kde.kwin", "/KWin", "org.kde.KWin", "currentDesktop", function (desktop) {
print("Current Desktop through D-Bus: ", desktop);
});
