Objectives:
* Make it possible to add items to toolbars without having to have all
toolbars know about the items in advance
* Make it possible to specialize an existing tool and have it be used
instead of the base implementation
Approach:
* Tools are named using a path-style category/id/ext system, making them
selectable, the latter component being used to differentiate extended
tools from their base classes, but is ignored during selection
* Toolbars have ToolGroups, which include or exclude tools by category or
category/id, and order them by promoting and demoting selections of
tools by category or category/id
Future:
* Add a way to place available but not yet placed tools in an "overflow"
group
* Add a mode to ToolGroup to make the tools a multi-column drop-down style
list with labels so tools with less obvious icons are easier to identify
- and probably use this as the overflow group

Objectives:
* Make drop down tools look more like buttons and less like inputs, since they aren't text input and are buttons
* Make context toolbars inside surface widgets render correctly
* Show outlines of groups on hover to hint tool relationships
* Make neighboring active tools look cleaner
Changes:
ve.ui.Tool.css
* Merge ButtonTool and DropdownTool styles as much as possible
* Add styles for DropdownTool active states
* Only round the corners of the first and last tool in a group
* Soften the borders between consecutive active tools
ve.ui.Toolbar.css
* Add border to groups on hover
ve.ui.Widget.css
* Isolate surface widget toolbar styles by using stricter selector
ve.ui.Tool.js
* Fix incorrect capitalization of class name
ve.ui.SurfaceWidget.js
* Add classes to toolbar and surface for better style targeting
Change-Id: Ib5ae8f705ef1e9c481e5bdf8c8dcef9c1eb22c4d
Objectives:
* Associate models with tools, rather than dialogs and inspectors
* Move tool/model association utilities to ve.ui.ToolFactory
* Obliterate the view registry
Notes:
The only special case for leaving modelClasses definitions in place is
for the linkInspector. It uses these for selection expansion.
Because tools can now override the static canEditModel method, we can
dynamically evaluate a model, rather than be restricted to only
comparing classes. This will be useful for disabling editors for models
that are for some reason incomplete or otherwise broken and cannot be
safely edited.
Change-Id: I7adf254990112d90f1f808593a9111afc7a116b5
Objectives:
* Split ve.Surface into ve.Editor and ve.ui.Surface
* Move actions, triggers and commands to ve.ui
* Move toolbar wrapping, floating, shadow and actions functionality to configurable options of ve.ui.Toolbar
* Make ve.ce.Surface and ve.ui.Surface inherit ve.Element and use this.$$ for iframe friendliness
* Make the toolbar separately initialized so it's possible to have a surface without one, as well as control where the toolbar is
Some change notes:
VisualEditor.php
* Added standalone module for mediawiki integrated unit testing
ve.ce.Surface.js
* Remove requirement to pass in an attached container to construct object
* Inherit ve.Element and use this.$$ instead of $
* Make getSelectionRect iframe friendly
* Move most of the initialize stuff to a new initialize method to be called after the surface is attached to the DOM
ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.js
* Merge toolbar functions into setup/teardown methods
* Add toolbar manually (since it's not added by the surface anymore)
ve.init.sa.Target.js
* Update new init procedure for editor, surface and toolbar separately
* Move toolbar floating stuff to ve.Toolbar

The EventEmitter API we inherited from Node.js and then bastardized was
getting awkward and cumbersome. The number of uses of ve.bind was getting
out of control, and removing events meant caching the bound method in a
property. Many of the "features" of EventEmitter wasn't even being used,
some causing overhead, others just causing bloat. This change cleans up
how EventEmitter is used throughout the codebase.
The new event emitter API includes:
* emit - identical to the previous API, no longer throws an error if you
emit error without a handler
* once - identical to the previous API, still introduces a wrapper* on -
compatible with the previous API but has some new features
* off - identical to removeListener in the previous API
* connect - very similar to addListenerMethods but doesn't wrap callbacks
in closures anymore
* disconnect - new, basically the opposite of addListenerMethods
Another change that is made in this commit is mixing in rather than
inheriting from EventEmitter.
Finally, there are changes throughout the codebase anywhere
connect/disconnect could be used.

Also removed a few redundant headings in class documentation
comments. There is already an @class and it looks a bit odd in
the generated pages:
<h2>TextString</h2>
<p>TextString</p>
<p>This class provides a ...</p>
Change-Id: Ie311c6993ed02e79272dbde71f6a1bc252ef3037
* Document them consistently between secetions Inheritance and
Static Properties under their own (new) section Events.
* Removed any quotes or brackets around the event name in existing
@emit annotations
Search: @emit.*['"{}(){}]
* For every call to this.emit() anywhere, added @emits.
* Fixed all warnings for references to undefined events
(introduced as a result of the previous point).
Event handler parameter documented based on the emit() call
and actual handlers using the event. Usually the latter is
more elaborate.
* Extend coverage of jQuery as needed
(copied from mwcore/maintenance/jsduck/external.js
written by me, hereby implicitly and explicitly released under MIT).
Specifics
* ve.ce.Surface#onContentChange: Fixed type of range from Object to ve.Range.
* ve.ce.SurfaceObserver#poll: Fix syntax for code from {} to `backticks`.
* ve.ui.Toolbar#onContextChange: Doesn't actually emit "clearState" event.
Removed #onClearState in Tool, ButtonTool and DropdownTool.

This is a major refactor of user interface context, frame, dialog
and inspector classes, including adding several new classes which
generalize managing inspectors/dialogs (which are now subclasses
of window).
New classes:
* ve.ui.Window.js - base class for inspector and dialog classes
* ve.ui.WindowSet.js - manages mutually exclusive windows, used
by surface and context for dialogs and inspectors respectively
* ve.ui.DialogFactory - generates dialogs
* ve.ui.IconButtonWidget - used in inspector for buttons in the head
Refactored classes:
* ve.ui.Context - moved inspector management to window set
* ve.ui.Frame - made iframes initialize asynchronously
* ve.ui.Dialog and ve.ui.Inspector - moved initialization to async
initialize method
Other interesting bits:
ve.ui.*Icons*.css, *.svg, *.png, *.ai
* Merged icon stylesheets so all icons are available inside windows
* Renamed inspector icon to window
ve.ui.*.css
* Reorganized styles so that different windows can include only
what they need
* Moved things to where they belonged (some things were in strange places)
ve.init.Target.js, ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.js, ve.init.sa.Target.js
* Removed dialog management - dialogs are managed by the surface now
ve.ui.*Dialog.js
* Renamed title message static property
* Added registration
ve.ui.*Inspector.js
* Switch to accept surface object rather than context, which conforms
to the more general window class without losing any functionality
(in fact, most of the time the surface was what we actually wanted)
ve.ui.MenuWidget.js, ve.ui.MWLinkTargetInputWidget.js
* Using surface overly rather than passing an overlay around
through constructors

Heading and Preformatted nodes have rules that should only
exist under a document node in MediaWiki.
Two new node types have been created as has a new DropdownTool which
uses these. The MW init options have been changed to use the new
DropdownTool.

* Warning: ve.LeafNode.js:21: {@link ve.Node#hasChildren} links to non-existing member
-> (removed)
Differences fixed:
* Variadic arguments are like @param {Type...} [name]
instead of @param {Type} [name...]
* Convert all file headers from /** to /*! because JSDuck tries
to parse all /** blocks and fails to parse with all sorts of
errors for "Global property", "Unnamed property", and
"Duplicate property".
Find: \/\*\*([^@]+)(@copyright)
Replace: /*!$1$2
* Indented blocks are considered code examples.
A few methods had documentation with numbered lists that were
indented, which have now been updated to not be intended.
* The free-form text descriptions are parsed with Markdown,
which requires lists to be separated from paragraphs by an
empty line.
And we should use `backticks` instead of {braces} for inline
code in text paragraphs.
* Doc blocks for classes and their constructor have to be
in the correct order (@constructor, @param, @return must be
before @class, @abstract, @extends etc.)
* `@extends Class` must not have Class {wrapped}
* @throws must start with a {Type}
* @example means something else. It is used for an inline demo
iframe, not code block. For that simply indent with spaces.
* @member means something else.
Non-function properties are marked with @property, not @member.
* To create a link to a class or member, in most cases the name
is enough to create a link. E.g. Foo, Foo.bar, Foo.bar#quux,
where a hash stands for "instance member", so Foo.bar#quux,
links to Foo.bar.prototype.quux (the is not supported, as
"prototype" is considered an implementation detail, it only
indexes class name and method name).
If the magic linker doesn't work for some case, the
verbose syntax is {@link #target label}.
* @property can't have sub-properties (nested @param and @return
values are supported, only @static @property can't be nested).
We only have one case of this, which can be worked around by
moving those in a new virtual class. The code is unaltered
(only moved down so that it isn't with the scope of the main
@class block). ve.dm.TransactionProcessor.processors.
New:
* @mixins: Classes mixed into the current class.
* @event: Events that can be emitted by a class. These are also
inherited by subclasses. (+ @param, @return and @preventable).
So ve.Node#event-attach is inherited to ve.dm.BreakNode,
just like @method is.
* @singleton: Plain objects such as ve, ve.dm, ve.ce were missing
documentation causing a tree error. Documented those as a
JSDuck singleton, which they but just weren't documented yet.
NB: Members of @singleton don't need @static (if present,
triggers a compiler warning).
* @chainable: Shorthand for "@return this". We were using
"@return {classname}" which is ambiguous (returns the same
instance or another instance?), @chainable is specifically
for "@return this". Creates proper labels in the generated
HTML pages.
Removed:
* @mixin: (not to be confused with @mixins). Not supported by
JSDuck. Every class is standalone anyway. Where needed marked
them @class + @abstract instead.

* Moved to tool specific configuration to static properties (left tool instance specific stuff in the constructors)
* Added documentation for tool configurations
* Centralized typePattern matching for inspectors
Change-Id: Ieacf61b320c10fd37ea69a05e543313fa990b403
* Rewrite of all tools, dramatically simplifiying them and decreasing
duplication
* Tools are now created using a tool factory instead of
a make-shift facility built into the toolbar
* All UI object have a surface or a toolbar reference instead of a
surface view

Rather than each tool requesting annotations, and nodes pertaining to selection,
Emitted event supplies annotations and nodes to each tool's update method.

* For the most common case:
- replace ve.extendClass with ve.inheritClass (chose slightly
different names to detect usage of the old/new one, and I
like 'inherit' better).
- move it up to below the constructor, see doc block for why.
* Cases where more than 2 arguments were passed to
ve.extendClass are handled differently depending on the case.
In case of a longer inheritance tree, the other arguments
could be omitted (like in "ve.ce.FooBar, ve.FooBar,
ve.Bar". ve.ce.FooBar only needs to inherit from ve.FooBar,
because ve.ce.FooBar inherits from ve.Bar).
In the case of where it previously had two mixins with
ve.extendClass(), either one becomes inheritClass and one
a mixin, both to mixinClass().
No visible changes should come from this commit as the
instances still all have the same visible properties in the
end. No more or less than before.
* Misc.:
- Be consistent in calling parent constructors in the
same order as the inheritance.
- Add missing @extends and @param documentation.
- Replace invalid {Integer} type hint with {Number}.
- Consistent doc comments order:
@class, @abstract, @constructor, @extends, @params.
- Fix indentation errors
A fairly common mistake was a superfluous space before the
identifier on the assignment line directly below the
documentation comment.
$ ack "^ [^*]" --js modules/ve
- Typo "Inhertiance" -> "Inheritance".
- Replacing the other confusing comment "Inheritance" (inside
the constructor) with "Parent constructor".
- Add missing @abstract for ve.ui.Tool.
- Corrected ve.FormatDropdownTool to ve.ui.FormatDropdownTool.js
- Add function names to all @constructor functions. Now that we
have inheritance it is important and useful to have these
functions not be anonymous.

Stack traces, line numbers, etc. All the approaches I've seen are bad hacks. This is the best way to go.

Throwing strings is bad because it doesn't include a lot of important
information that an error object does, such as a stack trace or where
the error was actually thrown from.
ve.Error inherits directly from Error. In the future we may create
more specific subclasses and/or do custom stuff.
Some interesting reading on the subject:

This license change is aimed at maximizing the reusability of this code
in other projects. VisualEditor is more than just an awesome editor for
MediaWiki, it's the new editor for the entire internet.
Added license and author files, plus mentions of the license to all
VisualEditor PHP, JavaScript and CSS files. Parser files have not been
modified but are effectively re-licensed since there's no overriding
license information. 3rd party libraries are not changed, but are all
already MIT licensed.
