+ The portals.conf parser is now able to handle fallback backends
better, and respects the order of backends in the config file.
+ Try to use the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk backend as a last resort
backend, if everything else fails.
+ Implement getlk and setlk, and honour O_NOFOLLOW, in the
Document portal's FUSE filesystem.
+ Neutralize the Devices portal. Originally the Devices portal
was introduced so that services like PulseAudio or PipeWire
could request access to microphones and cameras on the behalf
of apps. It was not meant to be used by sandboxed apps
directly, which is unusual for a portal. Practically, however,
it didn't take off.
+ Implement PID/TID mapping for host system apps.
+ Add a new "supported_output_file_formats" option to the Print
portal. This can be used by apps like browsers to limit the
output file formats presented by the Print portal backend. For
example, an app can limit file printing to PDF files.
+ Add a new "GetHostPaths" method to the Document portal, which
allows mapping file descriptors to paths on the host system.
This can be used by apps to show more meaningful file paths in
the user interface.
+ Like the new method above, the Document portal sets the
"user.document-portal.host-path" xattr on files, pointing to
the host system file path. The use case is similar to
"GetHostPaths".
+ Make the Background portal more robust when validating
autostart files.
+ Clarify behavior of the File Chooser portal in the
documentation pages.
+ Improve robustness against deleted o_path fds in the Document
portal.
+ Fix a warning in some systems while trying to load Request
D-Bus object properties.
+ Fix a physical inode leak in the Document portal.
+ Various improvements to the test suite. Python-based tests now
run in parallel and are more careful when setting up the mock
D-Bus server. Tests also start dbus-monitor if necessary now.
FUSE tests of the Document portal have been made more
TAP-alike now.
+ Memory leak fixes in a variety of portals and services,
including the permissions database, the Document portal, the
File Transfer portal, the Location portal, the Background
portal, tests, and the icon validator. And more. There's a lot
of memory leak fixes everywhere, really.
+ Major refactorings of the icon validator. Icons are now
limited to 4MB files.
+ Update XML specification specifying session handle type to
match current actual ABI in GlobalShortcuts, Inhibit,
RemoteDesktop, and ScreenCast portals.
+ New and updated translations.
- Adapt BuildRequires for new documentation build process:
+ Add python3-Sphinx
+ Add python3-furo
+ Add python3-sphinxcontrib-copybutton
+ Add python3-sphinxext-opengraph
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/GNOME:Factory/xdg-desktop-portal?expand=0&rev=85
- Update to version 1.14.0:
+ 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
+ realtime: Fix MakeThreadHighPriorityWithPID method
+ screencast: Fix an error when restoring streams
+ ci: Various improvements
+ Documentation improvements
+ Updated translations.
