It's that time of year again: a new GNOME Shell release has changed the API presented to extensions, and therefore requires changes in GNOME Shell extensions.

Upstream provides a migration guide at <https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-50.html>, and for this particular extension it seems that the Ubuntu team has already done a port to GNOME 50 APIs.

GNOME Shell 50.0 is currently available from experimental. If the changes that are necessary for GNOME 50 are backwards-compatible with GNOME 49, please upload them to unstable, similar to what was done for gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu. If not, please upload them to experimental to start with, and then re-upload to unstable when the GNOME 50 transition begins, similar to what was done for src:gnome-shell-extensions.

When the rest of the necessary packages are ready and the release team gives the go-ahead to do the transition, bug reports like this one will be raised to serious.

Thanks,
