This is a new minor release of xdg-desktop-portal 1.18 series. Users and distributions are strongly encouraged to update to this version. These are the changes included in this release:

  • 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
