Detailed changes

phosh (0.31.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * data: Add portals default config.
    We keep the `UseIn` in phosh.portal for the moment to support
    older xdg-desktop-portal.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/979
    Thanks to Pablo Correa Gomez for bringing this up
  * portals: End lines with a semicolon.
    It's a desktop file like syntax
  * portals: Use wlr as fallback for screenshot portal.
    E.g. Debian has it disabled for the gtk portal.
  * portal: Disable screencast portal. No implementation yet.
  * portal: Add secrets portal.
    Provided by gnome-keyring
  * wayland: Make zwlr_output_power_manager_v1 mandatory.
    It's there since phoc 0.1.6.
  * suspend-manager: Drop unused variable
  * protocol: Add phoc-device-state-unstable-v1.
    Track the device state capabilities and merge them into the seat's caps.
    This way we only need to worry about one set of capabilities.
  * mode-manager: Set tablet or laptop mode for convertibles.
    Based on a patch by Jonathan Hall.
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/issues/320
  * mode-manager: Switch between tablet and laptop mode.
    When the seat as the needed caps we register a listener for the
    switch and switch between tablet and laptop mode based on its state.
  * ci: Update variables. We moved to trixie
.
  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * data: Install phosh-portals-conf in /usr/share.
    This is supported in xdg-desktop-portal >= 0.17.1
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/982
