flatpak 1.15.8

Security fixes:

 * Don't allow an executable name to be misinterpreted as a command-line
   option for bwrap(1). This prevents a sandbox escape where a malicious
   or compromised app could ask xdg-desktop-portal to generate a .desktop
   file with access to files outside the sandbox. (CVE-2024-32462)

Other bug fixes:

 * Pass the -export-dynamic linker option as -Wl,-export-dynamic,
   fixing build failures with clang 18 and lld 18 (#5760)

 * Fix a double-free when installation is cancelled (#5763)

 * Fix installed-tests failure with "FUSERMOUNT: unbound variable"
   (#5751)

 * Translation updates: pt_BR (#5762), tr (#5761)

     * Report a better error message if `mount(2)` fails with `ENOSPC`

 * Add anchors to link to sections of flatpak-metadata documentation (#5582)

flatpak 1.15.6

Dependencies:

 * In distributions that compile Flatpak to use a separate bubblewrap (bwrap)
   executable, version 0.8.0 is now required.

 * Enabling the optional Wayland security context feature requires
   libwayland-client, wayland-scanner >= 1.15 and wayland-protocols >= 1.32.

 * Ubuntu 18.04 is no longer routinely tested. Support for dependency
   versions included in Ubuntu 18.04 should be considered "at risk".

Features:

 * Add --device=input, for access to evdev devices in /dev/input (#5481)

 * Update bundled copy of bubblewrap to version 0.8.0, and rely on its
   features:

       of nested user namespaces in a more robust way (#5084)

 * For subsandboxes started by flatpak-portal, inherit environment
   variables from the `flatpak run` that started the original instance
   rather than from flatpak-portal, fixing behaviour of FLATPAK_GL_DRIVERS
   and similar features (#5278)

 * Make it easier to configure extra languages, by picking them up from
   AccountsService if configured there (#5006)

   allowing end-of-life apps to be replaced by their intended replacement
   more reliably (#3991)

 * Create a private Wayland socket with the "security context" extension
   if available, allowing the compositor to identify connections from
   sandboxed apps as belonging to the sandbox (#4920, #5507, #5558)

 * Update libglnx to 2023-08-29
     * Use features of newer GLib versions if available
     * Turn off system-level crash reporting infrastructure during
       some unit tests that involve intentional assertion failures

 * Add anchors to link to sections of flatpak-metadata documentation (#5582)

 * New translations: ka, nl.

Bug fixes:

   (#5332, #5565)

Internal changes:

 * Split up large source files into smaller modules, reducing internal
   circular dependencies (#5410, #5411, #5415, #5419, #5416, #5414)

 * Re-synchronize code backported from GLib with the version in GLib
   (#5410)

flatpak 1.15.4

Security fixes:

* Escape special characters when displaying permissions and metadata,
  preventing malicious apps from manipulating the appearance of the
  permissions list using crafted metadata (CVE-2023-28101).

* If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console (tty1, tty2, etc.),
  don't allow copy/paste via the TIOCLINUX ioctl (CVE-2023-28100).
  Note that this is specific to virtual consoles: Flatpak is not
  vulnerable to this if run from a graphical terminal emulator such as
  xterm, gnome-terminal or Konsole.

Other bug fixes:

* Document the path used for `flatpak override`
* Translation updates: oc, pl, ru, sv, tr
