Note:
The diff is completely misleading, because the latest docbook in kde 4 has <date>2014-03-10</date> + <releaseinfo>&kde; 4.11</releaseinfo>
but kwin master in kf5 has <date>2010-10-28</date> + <date>2015-07-24</date> <releaseinfo>&kde; 4.5</releaseinfo>
The diff against the latest kde4 docbook version 4.11 has only 4 or 5 lines

Remove the outdated docbook
This KCM is now in Display and Monitor -> Compositor
Compositor is not for Joe User, only for workarounds with broken drivers as confirmed by Martin
X-DocPath now points to userbase

So far if the new position fell outside of the screen, we ignored
the movement completely. This change only discards the event if both
x and y coordinates are outside the screen. If one component is still
on the screen it will be used. So a movement to top-left on left border
will result in a pointer movement towards top.
If we were on e.g. vt 1 and pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 KWin broke as it
disabled rendering for vt switch and vt switched to vt 1, which
obviously failed.
So let's check whether it's going to switch to the vt we are already
on and ignore surch requests.
For the appId we use:
* wl_shell windowClass for Wayland clients
* resourceName from window class for X11 clients
This is implemented by sharing the window class implementation in
Toplevel.

If the backend specifies
{
"input": false
}
in it's plugin metadata, it means that it does not handle input by
itself. In that case we can enforce libinput.
With this change one does no longer need to specify --libinput when
starting kwin_wayland on the drm or fbdev backend. So
kwin_wayland --xwayland
will bring up a fully functional kwin_wayland on drm platform.
Instead of setting our own filter rules we install a categories file
to allow to configure them. This seems to still have them enabled by
default, but should at least give distributions the possibility to
disable logging by default.
For Wayland clients we now are able to get shadows.
Internally this reuses large parts of the X11 implementation. This
could be improved to make the Scene's better aware of the Wayland
shadow, so that less memory is needed.
Looks like Qt 5.5 changed the default back to threaded and that can
result in dead locks of the compositor. So better enforce to basic
for the time being.
Another reason to have an own QPA to get rid of these "regressions".
The creation of PlasmaWindowInterface is moved from WaylandServer into
AbstractClient. This allows the sub classes to better control when to
create/destroy the Client.
For creation it's bound to becoming visible - that is Windows which are
only created but never shown are not announced at all.
For Client it's destroyed with the normal tear-down of a Client, for
ShellClient it's destroyed on unmapped (which also means a new one
will be created again in case of another mapping of the surface).
As a side effect, this works around the problem that ShellClients do not
yet get destroyed for QtWayland's menus (needs further investigation).
The problem with KToolInvocation is that it creates a dead lock on
Wayland in case kdeinit is not already running. It starts kdeinit
and does a QProcess::waitForFinished and our kdeinit needs to interact
with the wayland server. So dead lock.
As KRun also calls into the dangerous code path it's no option which
leaves us with QProcess to start the processes.
A nice side-effect is that we no don't need to link KF5::Service any
more from kwin_core. Now once Plasma and Notification don't use it
any more, it will be gone completely.
Overwrite the platform name through the environment variable and ensure
that the plugin is not picked in non-kwin Wayland sessions as that puts
kglobalaccel5 into a crash restart loop.
BUG: 349911
This is a temporary workaround for bug 349992 which causes freezes
during startup as kwin and kamd dead lock each other on DBus.
To workaround we don't call Activities::create and check in every
usage of Activities::self() whether the pointer is valid.
As a result kwin_wayland now starts pretty fast.
