Changes in 1.18.2
=================
Released: 2023-11-22

- Pass the token to the OpenURI portal and, when missing, an empty string.
- Fix various memory and file descriptor leaks in the Document portal.
- Make files and folders openend with the Document portal close properly. This
  should fix cases where the Document portal prevented external devices from
  unmounting, due to files inside them not getting closed after applications
  stop using them.
- Implement FUSE getlk and setlk callbacks.This should enable using sqlite3
  through the Document portal.
- Properly resolve fd symlinks before opening them with O_NOFOLLOW.
- Fix cases where the portal id is assumed to match the .desktop file name.
- Allow sending directories in the file transfer portal. This should make it
  possible to, among other things, drag and drop folders and files simultaneously
  from and to sandboxed applications.
- Fallback to a hardcoded check to xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in the absence of any
  other portal or configuration file, as a last resort mechanism.
- Various smaller fixes to the build system.

Changes in 1.18.1
=================
Released: 2023-10-26

- Communicate better when the Background portal kills an app
- Properly quote Flatpak command in the Background portal
- Improve documentation of the "cursor_mode" propery of the ScreenCast
  backend D-Bus interface
- Fix ScreenCast portal removing transient restore permissions too early.
  This fixes screen sharing dialogs on Chromium asking for the screen multiple
  times.
- Only send the Closed session signal to the sender
- Add Meson options to disable building with Bubblewrap, and without the
  Flatpak portal documentation. Disabling Bubblewrap is **highly** discouraged,
  and only meant to be used on platforms that do not currently support it. By
  disabling Bubblewrap, bitmap validation happens without a sandbox, which is
  highly insecure since image parsing is a common source of exploits. Really,
  just do not disable Bubblewrap please.
- Improve the manpage of portals.conf
- Various spelling fixes to the Document portal
- Add a new website! We don't have a fancy domain yet, but the website can be
  accessed at https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/
- Improve pid mapping for host system apps. This should get rid of some rare,
  unnecessary warnings.
- Adjust documentation of Global Shortcuts portal's timestamps to millisecond
  granularity
- Bump minimum Meson version to 0.58

Changes in 1.18.0
=================
Released: 2023-09-18

- Validate addresses following the HTML specs in the Email portal

Changes in 1.17.2
=================
Released: 2023-09-01

- Add a mapping id property to the ScreenCast portal
- Add activation token parameter to the Email portal
- Test tarball generation in CI

Changes in 1.17.1
=================
Released: 2023-08-27

- Document xdg-desktop-portal versioning scheme
- Fix various issues in the OpenURI portal
- Introduce the ReadOne() method in the Settings portal. This method is now
  preferred over the Read() method, as Read() mistakenly returned a variant
  inside a variant. The Read() method will continue to exist for compatibility
  with existing apps, but its usage is deprecated. We recommend apps to port
  to the ReadOne() method. Apps can decide whether to use ReadOne() or Read()
  by looking at the version of the Settings portal.
- Improvements to the new config-based portal matching mechanism. Config files
  are now searched in standard paths, in a way that is compatible to other
  system components (e.g. MIME types).
- Various small visual tweaks to the generated documentation
- Document a new 'accent-color' key in the Settings portal. This key represents
  an arbitrary color in sRGB colorspace. How implementations of the portal
  provide this key is entirely dependent on their internal policies and design.
- Translation updates

Changes in 1.17.0
=================
Released: 2023-08-04

- Drop the Autotools build. Meson is now the only supported build system.
- Rework how portal implementations are loaded. This new, more robust system
  allows selecting specific backends for specific portals, and layering them
  when necessary. Platforms that provide portals implementation are encouraged
  to provide a suitable configuration file.
- Introduce a new Clipboard portal. This portal extends the Remote Desktop
  portal by adding support for sharing clipboard between remote machines.
- Introduce a new Input Capture portal. This portal adds mechanisms for taking
  control of input devices. The primary usage model is centered around the
  InputLeap and Synergy use cases, where local devices are used to control
  remote displays.
- Stop using the deprecated GTimeVal struct
- Bump GLib dependency to 2.66
- Add an "accept-label" option the the Print portal. This lets apps suggest a
  proper label to the print operation.
- Various fixes to the Global Shortcuts portal
- Support restoring remote desktop sessions
- Improve robustness of the OpenURI portal by validating more URIs
- The PipeWire dependency is now mandatory
- Various improvements for the test suite
- Translation updates

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
