depends: AyatanaIndicators/ayatana-indicator-application#24

This follows the model/view architecture used by our system indicators. Some of the major changes:

  • Since our only depency is Gio, the indicators will work with Gtk3, Gtk4, Lomiri, etc
  • The deprecated and dead GtkStatusIcon is finally gone
  • We have tooltips now
  • The zombie libdbusmenu project is no longer required, we can safely abandon it
  • Since tons of very old code are gone, we are now consistently GPL-3+
  • Due to path/name changes, right now we can run these new indicators alongside legacy appindicators
  • This new library is low-maintenance and easy to expand without deprecation fears
  • The door is now open for dropping the old libindicator object and using indicator-ng for everything
