- 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
