Changes in 1.16.0
=================
Released: 2022-12-12
- Introduce a new background monitoring service. This allows desktop
environments to list applications that are running in background, that is,
sandboxed applications running without a visible window. Desktop environments
can display these background running applications in their interfaces, and
allow users to control their execution.
- Introduce the Global Shortcuts portal. This portal allows applications to
register and receive keyboard shortcuts even when they're not focused. This
was a highly requested feature, especially on Wayland desktops. There are
improvements to come, but portal backends can now implement this new portal.
- Various CI improvements
- Translation updates
Changes in 1.15.0
=================
Released: 2022-08-11
- Add Meson build files. For now, both Autotools and Meson are available
in the source tree. Starting from next release, tarballs will be generated
using Meson. There is no set date to delete Autotools files, but it will
happen at some point in the future. The removal of Autotools will be
communicated in advance.
- Make the Screenshot portal request permission to take screenshots. Frontends
that implement the version 2 of org.freedesktop.portal.impl.Screenshot portal
can now be aware that the screenshot permission was granted through the new
'permission_store_checked' option, and skip any kind of dialog when that is
the case.
- Stop sending the app id quoted in the Background portal
- Fix a bug in cgroup name parsing
- Various fixes to the Realtime portal
- Various CI improvements
- Translation updates
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).

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

* Avoid a race in the portal APIs
