While we are hard at work wrapping up Budgie 10.10, this minor .3 release for 1.9 series has been released to align with changes for GNOME 49.x.
In GNOME 49.x, gnome-settings-daemon received various changes including the deprecation of their .desktop files as well as deprecation of functionality such as MediaKeys (moved into Shell). We now have an in-tree fork of GSD, specifically targeted at:
- MediaKeys (
bsd-media-keys) - Power (
bsd-power) - Wacom (
bsd-wacom)
All other components will continue to be pulled in from GSD, with our executables being co-installable with GSD. Alongside this, we ship with a range of autostart desktop files to ensure the appropriate execs are launches with Budgie Desktop.
This release also includes fixes (that have otherwise been shipped as patches in various distributions) for:
- mutter overlay-key change
- libxfce4windowing API changes
- Vala 0.56.18+ compact class removal changes
Packager Notes: Please also update budgie-control-center to its latest release, as that will have support for renamed schemas.
