Summary:
The ported effect looks quite similar to the C++ version except one
thing: it works correctly when user activates/deactivates a full
screen effect, for example the Desktop Cube effect.
Other than that, there are no behavioral or visual differences.

Summary:
Currently, we have three effects that can be used to animate the
appearing of toplevel windows(fade, glide, scale) and one can enable
all three of them, which seems to be wrong. It doesn't make sense to have
glide and scale effect enabled, for example.
We couldn't put all three effects into an exclusive group before because
the fade effect animates not only toplevel windows but also popups. So,
if all three effects are in an exclusive group and you enable glide effect,
for example, then tooltips and other popups won't be faded in/out.
This patch splits the fade effect into two: the first effect (called Fade)
animates toplevel windows and the other one (called Fading Popups) animates
popup windows.
Test Plan:
Have been using the Fading Popups effect in combination with the Scale
effect for a couple of days. Haven't noticed any significant differences between
the new combination (Fading Popups + Scale) and the old combination
(Fade + Scale).

Summary:
Now, when the scripting effects API has all required ingredients to port
the Scale effect to JavaScript we finally can do it.
The main rationale for porting this effect to JavaScript is that
scripted effects API lets us focus more on what we want instead of
"how".
Visually, the ported version doesn't deviate from the C++ version.
Test Plan:
* Enable the Scale effect;
* Open/close a window.

Summary:
There were several reasons to rewrite the Minimize Animation effect in
JavaScript: to simplify code and to get rid of full repaints. One could
say that nothing prevents us from calculating the dirty region in
postPaintScreen or postPaintWindow and it is correct, but with the
scripting effects API the dirty region will be calculated for us, so we
can focus more on "what we want" instead of "how".
Visually, the "old" effect and the rewritten one look quite the same.
Except one tiny bit: if a window doesn't have an icon in the task manager,
it won't be animated. The reason for that is the purpose of this effect is
to show where the window will be after it's minimized, if the window
doesn't have icon in the task manager, one can't click at the center of
the screen to unminimize the window.
There is one significant change, the name of the effect was changed to
"Squash". If we put this effect and the Magic lamp effect under "Window
Minimize Animation" category (or if we add some "heading" label), then
the old name and the name of the category would "conflict". The new name
was suggested by Nate Graham and it very closely describes what the
effect does. "Scale" doesn't fit this effect because while a window is
being animated, its aspect ratio is not preserved.

Summary:
The new effect scales windows as they appear and disappear.
As the the most of window animation effects, it is a monolithic effect,
i.e., if you enable scale effect, it will animate *both* the appearing and
disappearing.
The main difference between the Scale effect and the Scale in effect is
that the Scale in effect only animates windows as they appear. There is
no corresponding "the Scale out" effect, which is odd. Other points that
differentiate the Scale effect from the Scale in effect:
* it is more subtle;
* it doesn't animate the log out screen;
* it doesn't conflict with the Fade effect, etc.
... and overall, the Scale effect supersedes the Scale in effect.

Summary:
The effect exports itself to DBus as object "/ColorPicker" and provides
an own interface "org.kde.kwin.ColorPicker".
It has one exported method to DBus "pick" which returns a QColor. When
invoked an interactive position picking selection is started. If it ends
the effect reads the color value at the picked position from the OpenGL
color buffer.
This implements T4568.

Summary:
The new logout design doesn't want to have the vignetting. Thus the
logout effect itself doesn't make any sense any more. All that would
still be used is the logout blur which can also be provided by the
blur effect nowadays for fullscreen windows. As the new logout is a
fullscreen window it should use that one.
The logout effect did one more thing: it kept the vignetting and the
blur once the user selected logout. Now without the vignetting this
would be weird and again doesn't make much sense any more.
So overall I think it's better to just drop the logout effect and use
blur effect in normal way. Neat side advantage: it will also work on
Wayland out-of-the-box.

Summary:
A new method to tell the effects system whether the compositor scene
is able to drive animations. E.g. on software emulation (llvmpipe) it's
better to not do any animations at all.
This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their
supported check to completely disable themselves.
As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation
In addition - for easier testing - there is a new env variable
KWIN_EFFECTS_FORCE_ANIMATIONS to overwrite the selection.

The Scripted and PluginEffectLoader perform locating all effects which
are to be loaded in a thread. When the EffectLoader gets cleared so far
the query did not get canceled. This resulted in effects maybe getting
loaded.
This problems shows on build.kde.org if the test is too fast and tears
down the Effect system while effects are still being queried.

This is a specialized subclass of AbstractEffectLoader to load binary
effect plugins. It used the KPluginTrader to find all candidates to load.
The loader is able to detect incorrect ABI versions through the
pluginVersion() and uses the methods exposed by the new
KWin::EffectPluginFactory to check whether the Effect is supported and
should be enabled by default.
The unit test for this loader comes with two plugins: one is able to be
loaded and provides a supported and enabledByDefault method which can be
tweaked during the test to get all the conditions we want to test for.
The second plugin uses an incorrect plugin version and thus cannot get
loaded.
