  This adds one new feature: new emoji and Unicode characters from Unicode 15.1 
for easier browsing, selecting, and copying.

  Prerequisite
  
  Install fonts-noto-color-emoji 2.041 . See LP: #2045043
  Make sure the Characters app is not running and wait a few seconds for it to 
finish closing in the background.

  Test Case 1

  Open the Characters app.
  Select an emoji character and click Copy Character
  Paste the emoji somewhere.
  You should see the emoji you pasted.

  Test Case 2
  ---
  Open the Characters app.
  Use the search feature to search for "phoenix"
  A phoenix emoji should show up. This is one of the new Emoji 15.

  What Could Go Wrong

  GNOME Characters is part of GNOME Core and falls under the GNOME Stable 
Release Update microrelease exception

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

  It is installed by default in Ubuntu Desktop, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie,
  and Ubuntu Cinnamon. However, a bug in this app should not impact
  anything else on the system.

  Other Info
  --
  The GNOME Characters app in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS uses a different mechanism to 
display emoji and does not support any emoji from recent years. The update to 
enable recent emoji is entangled with the switch to GTK4 and Ubuntu Budgie has 
requested that we not switch any apps to GTK4 for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Therefore, 
this update is only for Ubuntu 23.10.

  This particular change was proposed upstream but was not merged
  because at the time it was proposed, Google had yet to update the
  color emoji font. I expect it to be merged "soon", but it seems better
  for our users to not wait until then.

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-characters/-/merge_requests/110

  ===
  Note to SRU team
  
  This update can be accepted into mantic-proposed now, but let's wait to push 
it to mantic-updates until after fonts-noto-color-emoji is fully phased.

  It is a minor detail but this would prevent a few broken emoji
  sequences from temporarily showing in the app. For instance, phoenix
  would be represented as bird+fire.

2023-12-08 Thread Jeremy Bícha
I successfully completed both test cases with gnome-characters
45.0-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 23.10 after installing fonts-noto-color-emoji
2.042-0ubuntu0.23.10.1

I am temporarily setting the block-proposed-mantic tag since the
Characters app does not display the new emoji well until the new fonts-
noto-color-emoji is installed. So let's let the fonts-noto-color-emoji
land in -updates first.

2023-12-08 Thread Timo Aaltonen
Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-characters into mantic-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
characters/45.0-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
mantic to verification-done-mantic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-mantic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  Impact
  --
  This adds one new feature: new emoji and Unicode characters from Unicode 15.1 
for easier browsing, selecting, and copying.

  Prerequisite
  
  Install fonts-noto-color-emoji 2.041 . See LP: #2045043
  Make sure the Characters app is not running and wait a few seconds for it to 
finish closing in the background.

  Test Case 1
  ---
  Install the update
  Open the Characters app.
  Select an emoji character and click Copy Character
  Paste the emoji somewhere.
  You should see the emoji you pasted.

  Test Case 2
  ---
  Open the Characters app.
  Use the search feature to search for "phoenix"
  A phoenix emoji should show up. This is one of the new Emoji 15.

  (This is Test Case 3 (Extra) from https://launchpad.net/bugs/1999098)

  What Could Go Wrong
  ---
  GNOME Characters is part of GNOME Core and falls under the GNOME Stable 
Release Update microrelease exception

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

  It is installed by default in Ubuntu Desktop, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie,
  and Ubuntu Cinnamon.

  Other Info
  --
  The GNOME Characters app in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS uses a different mechanism to 
display emoji and does not support any emoji from recent years. The update to 
enable recent emoji is entangled with the switch to GTK4 and Ubuntu Budgie has 
requested that we not switch any apps to GTK4 for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Therefore, 
this update is only for Ubuntu 23.10.

  ===
  Note to SRU team
  
  This update can be accepted into mantic-proposed now, but let's wait to push 
it to mantic-updates until after fonts-noto-color-emoji is fully phased.

  It is a minor detail but this would prevent a few broken emoji
  sequences from temporarily showing in the app. For instance, phoenix
  would be represented as bird+fire.
