Changes in 1.14.2

=================

Released: 2022-03-29

- realtime: Fix a frequent crash with WebKit processes

- Fix a bug in parsing the app ID from the cgroup on KDE

- Fix build with old GLib

- New translation: oc

- Documentation improvements

Changes in 1.14.1

=================

Released: 2022-03-18

- Fix an issue in 1.14.0 where xdg-desktop-portal.service starting before

graphical-session-pre.target would cause the GNOME session to deadlock by

moving code to a new libexec binary which handles deleting or migrating

.desktop files (and icons) from the dynamic launcher portal for apps which

have been uninstalled or renamed.

- Fix some bugs in the aforementioned launcher migration implementation,

"xdg-desktop-portal-rewrite-launchers".

- Fix build without libsystemd

Changes in 1.14.0

=================

Released: 2022-03-17

- Add a new "dynamic launcher" portal, which can install .desktop files and

accompanying icons after user confirmation.

- Rework handling of empty app IDs: In case an empty string app ID is stored in

the permission store, this permission is now shared only by apps whose app ID

couldn't be determined, rather than all unsandboxed apps.

- Use libsystemd (when available) to try to determine the app ID of unsandboxed

processes. This is useful since some portals otherwise can't be used by host

apps.

- Make x-d-p start on session start, which is needed for the dynamic launcher

portal to handle rewriting launchers for apps that have been renamed.

- Bring back the copy of Flatpak's icon-validator, which was dropped many

releases ago.

- Icon validation is now required for the notification and dynamic launcher

portals (previously it was only done if the "flatpak-validate-icon" binary

could be found).

- document-portal: Move to the libfuse3 API

- document-portal: Use renameat2 sys call

- document-portal: Use mutex to fix concurrency bug

- realtime: Fix error code paths

xdg-desktop-portal 0.10

=======================

This version of xdg-desktop-portal contains the xdg-document-portal

that used to be shipped by flatpak. The code was moved to

xdg-desktop-portal as a first step towards being used by

snappy. Additionally having the two related portals delivered together

makes it easier to implement new features that rely on changes to

both portals.

The two versions of the document portal are fully compatible, but the

package files will conflict with older versions of flatpak, so

packagers will have to pick one version. Following this there will be

a new release of unstable flatpak with the document portal removed,

and a release of the stable branch (0.10) that has a configure

option to disable the document portal.

Additionally, this release contains a new screencast and remote

desktop portal based on PipeWire.

Major changes in this versions:

* Import permission store from flatpak

* Import document portal from flatpak

* Add remote desktop portal

* Add screencast portal

* Add "interactive" mode to screenshot portal

* file-chooser: Don't return document paths for paths the application has direct access to

* Handle newer version of bubblewrap

* New abstraction for application info, supporting multiple sandbox technologies

* Add basic test suite

xdg-desktop-portal 0.9

* Install pkg-config files into datadir

* Avoid a race in the portal APIs
