(#4845) + +New features: + +* Allow the `modify_ldt` system call as part of `--allow=multiarch`. + This increases attack surface, but is required when running 16-bit + executables in some versions of Wine. (#4297) +* Share gssproxy socket, which acts like a portal for Kerberos authentication. + This lets apps use Kerberos authentication without needing a sandbox hole. + (#4914) +* Add a httpbackend variable to flatpak.pc, allowing dependent projects + like GNOME Software to detect whether they are compatible with libflatpak + (#5054) + +Bug fixes: + +* Terminate the flatpak-session-helper and flatpak-portal services when the + session ends, so that applications will not inherit outdated Wayland + and X11 socket addresses (#5068) +* When using `fish` shell, don't overwrite a previously-set XDG_DATA_DIRS + (#5123) +* Don't try to enable HTTP 2 if linked to a libcurl version that doesn't + support it (#5074) +* Stop systemd reporting the session-helper as failed when terminated by + a

+ (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/5045) +* There is a new security advisory on Flatpak but all supported versions are + not affected due to using new enough versions of libostree + (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-45jq-5658-v38x) + +Dependencies: + +* Conditional on a build time option, revokefs will now use version 3 of the + FUSE API rather than version 2 (#4326) +* Libappstream should be updated to at least 0.15.3 to avoid critical warning + messages when using the "flatpak search" command + (https://github.com/ximion/appstream/issues/384) + +New features: + +* A new key "DeploySideloadCollectionID" is now supported in flatpakref and + flatpakrepo files, to allow setting a collection ID at the time a remote is + added from one of those files, rather than when metadata is pulled from the + remote, and without affecting versions of Flatpak with the older pre-sideload + P2P implementation (#4826) +* Allow sub-sandboxes to own MPRIS names on the session bus (#5023) +* Commands that accept "--user" will now also take "-u" as an alias for that + (#5014) +* The CLI now properly informs the user of which apps are (indirectly) using +

uninstall command now asks for confirmation before removing in-use + runtimes or runtime extensions (#4835) +* A "--socket=gpg-agent" option is now recognized by "flatpak run" and related + commands
