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 (flatpak#5760)

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

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

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

1.15.7

Toggle 1.15.7's commit message
flatpak 1.15.7

Dependencies:

 * The Meson build system is now required.
   Compiling with Autotools is no longer possible.

 * In distributions that compile Flatpak to use a separate bubblewrap (bwrap)
   executable, version 0.9.0 is recommended. Several of the bug fixes listed
   below will not be active if an older version is used.

 * In distributions that compile Flatpak to use a separate xdg-dbus-proxy
   executable, version 0.1.5 is recommended.

 * If libmalcontent (parental controls) is enabled, it must be version 0.5.0
   or later.

New features:

 * Automatically remove obsolete driver versions and other autopruned refs
   (flatpak#5632)

 * `--socket=inherit-wayland-socket` (flatpak#5614)

 * Automatically reload D-Bus session bus configuration after installing
   or upgrading apps, to pick up any exported D-Bus services (flatpak#3342)

Bug fixes:

 * Update included copy of bubblewrap to version 0.9.0:

     * `--symlink` is now idempotent, meaning it succeeds if the
       symlink already exists and already has the desired target
       (flatpak#2387, flatpak#3477, flatpak#5255)
     * Report a better error message if `mount(2)` fails with `ENOSPC`
     * Fix a double-close on error reading from `--args`, `--seccomp` or
       `--add-seccomp-fd` argument
     * Improve memory allocation behaviour
     * Silence various compiler warnings

 * Update included copy of bubblewrap to version 0.1.5:

     * Fix handling of long object paths

 * Don't parse `<developer><name/></developer>` as the application name
   (flatpak#5700)

 * Don't refuse to start apps when there is no D-Bus system bus available
   (flatpak#5076)

 * Don't try to repeat migration of apps whose data was migrated to a new
   name and then deleted (flatpak#5668)

 * Improve handling of mixed locales on systems with systemd-localed (flatpak#5497)

 * Improve display of ellipsized columns in wide terminals (flatpak#5722)

 * Make `flatpak info -e` look for extensions in all installations (flatpak#5670)

 * Fix warnings from newer GLib versions (flatpak#5660, flatpak#5737)

 * Always set the `container` environment variable (flatpak#5610)

 * Always let the app inherit redirected file descriptors (flatpak#5626)

 * In `flatpak ps`, add xdg-desktop-portal-gnome to the list of backends
   we'll use to learn which apps are running in the background (flatpak#5729)

 * Don't use `WAYLAND_SOCKET` unless given `--socket=inherit-wayland-socket`
   (flatpak#5614)

 * Use `fusermount3` if compiled with FUSE 3, overridable with
   `-Dsystem_fusermount` compile-time option (flatpak#5104)

 * Avoid leaking a temporary variable from /etc/profile.d/flatpak.sh into
   the shell environment (flatpak#5574)

 * Improve async-signal safety (flatpak#5687)

 * Fix various memory leaks (flatpak#5683, flatpak#5690, flatpak#5691)

 * Avoid undefined behaviour of signed left-shift when storing object IDs
   in a hash table (flatpak#5738)

 * Detect the correct gtk-doc when cross-compiling (flatpak#5650)

 * Detect the correct wayland-scanner when cross-compiling (flatpak#5596)

 * Documentation improvements (flatpak#5659, flatpak#5677, flatpak#5682, flatpak#5664, flatpak#5719)

 * Skip more tests when FUSE isn't available (flatpak#5611)

 * Translation updates (flatpak#5602, flatpak#5707)

1.15.6

Toggle 1.15.6's commit message
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 (flatpak#5481)

 * Update bundled copy of bubblewrap to version 0.8.0, and rely on its
   features:
     * Improve error message if seccomp is disabled in kernel config
     * Security hardening: set user namespace limit to 0, to prevent creation
       of nested user namespaces in a more robust way (flatpak#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 (flatpak#5278)

 * Stop http transfers if a download in progress becomes very slow (flatpak#5519)

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

 * Add new flatpak_transaction_add_rebase_and_uninstall() API,
   allowing end-of-life apps to be replaced by their intended replacement
   more reliably (flatpak#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 (flatpak#4920, flatpak#5507, flatpak#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 (flatpak#5582)

 * New translations: ka, nl.

Bug fixes:

 * Avoid warnings processing symbolic links with GLib >= 2.77.0, and
   with GLib 2.76.0 (GLib 2.76.1 or later silences these warnings)

 * Bypass page cache for backend requests in revokefs, fixing installation
   errors with libostree 2023.4 (flatpak#5452)

 * Show AppStream metadata in `flatpak remote-info` as intended
   (flatpak#5523; regression in 1.9.1)

 * Don't let Flatpak apps inherit VK_DRIVER_FILES or VK_ICD_FILENAMES
   from the host system, which would be wrong for the sandbox (flatpak#5553)

 * Fix build failure with prereleases of libappstream 0.17.x (flatpak#5472)

 * Forward-compatibility with libappstream 1.0 (flatpak#5563)

 * Fix installation with Meson if configured with -Dauto_sideloading=true
   (flatpak#5495)

 * Fix a memory leak (flatpak#5329)

 * Fix compiler warnings (flatpak#5362, flatpak#5366)

 * Make the tests fail more comprehensibly if a required tool is missing
   (flatpak#5020)

 * Clean up `/var/tmp/flatpak-cache-*` directories on boot (flatpak#1119)

 * Don't force `GIO_USE_VFS=local` for programs launched via flatpak-spawn
   (flatpak#5567)

 * Clarify documentation for D-Bus name ownership (flatpak#5582)

 * Translation updates: id, tr, zh_CN
   (flatpak#5332, flatpak#5565)

Internal changes:

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

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

 * Make the flags used to apply "extra data" clearer (flatpak#5466)

 * Use glnx_opendirat() where possible (flatpak#5527)

 * CI improvements (flatpak#5374, flatpak#5381)

1.15.4

Toggle 1.15.4's commit message
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

1.15.3

Toggle 1.15.3's commit message
flatpak 1.15.3

Build system:

* Building this version of Flatpak with Meson is recommended. The source
  release flatpak-1.15.3.tar.xz no longer contains Autotools-generated
  files, although this version can still be built using Autotools after
  running `./autogen.sh`. Future versions are likely to remove the
  Autotools build system.

Bug fixes:

* When splitting an upgrade into two steps (download without installing, and
  then upgrade without allowing further downloads) like GNOME Software does,
  if an app is marked EOL and superseded by a replacement, don't remove the
  superseded app in the first step, which would result in the replacement
  incorrectly not being installed (flatpak#5172)
* Fix a crash when --socket=gpg-agent is used (flatpak#5095)
* Fix a crash when listing apps if one of them is broken or misconfigured
  (flatpak#5293)
* If an app has invalid syntax in its overrides or metadata, mention the
  filename in the error message (flatpak#5293)
* Unset $GDK_BACKEND for apps, ensuring GTK apps with --socket=fallback-x11
  can work (flatpak#5303)
* Fix a deprecation warning when compiled with curl >= 7.85 (flatpak#5284)
* Translation updates: es, ru (flatpak#5266, flatpak#5312, flatpak#5313)

Internal changes:

* Better diagnostic messages for why runtimes are or are not considered
  unused (flatpak#5237)

1.15.2

Toggle 1.15.2's commit message
flatpak 1.15.2

Bug fixes:

* Never try to export a parent of reserved directories as a --filesystem,
  for example /run, which would prevent the app from starting (flatpak#5205, flatpak#5207)
* Never try to export a --filesystem below /run/flatpak or /run/host,
  which could similarly prevent the app from starting
* The above change also fixes apps not starting if a --filesystem is a
  symlink to the root directory (flatpak#1357)
* Show a warning when the --filesystem exists but cannot be shared with
  the sandbox (flatpak#1357, flatpak#5035, flatpak#5205, flatpak#5207)
* Display the intended messages for `flatpak repair` (flatpak#5204)
* Exporting an app to an existing repository on a CIFS filesystem
  now works as intended (flatpak#5257)
* Unset $GIO_EXTRA_MODULES for apps, avoiding misbehaviour in some GLib
  apps when set to a path on the host (flatpak#5206)
* Unset $XKB_CONFIG_ROOT for apps, avoiding crashes in GTK and Qt apps
  under Wayland when this variable is set to a path not available in the
  sandbox (flatpak#5194)
* When using the fish shell, avoid duplicate XDG_DATA_DIRS entries if the
  profile script is sourced more than once (flatpak#5198)
* Update included copy of bubblewrap to 0.7.0 for better error messages
* Install SELinux files correctly when building with Meson
* Translation updates: ru, tr (flatpak#5256, flatpak#5262)

Internal changes:

* Update included copy of libglnx
* flatpak -v now uses the INFO log level, and flatpak -vv uses the
  DEBUG log level in the flatpak log domain. Previously, the extra
  messages that were logged by flatpak -vv were in a separate "flatpak2"
  log domain. G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=flatpak previously had an effect similar to
  flatpak -v, and is now more similar to flatpak -vv. (flatpak#5001)

1.15.1

Toggle 1.15.1's commit message
flatpak 1.15.1

Dependencies:

* When building with Meson, gpgme 1.8.0 is now required.
  Older versions can still be used by building with Autotools.

Features:

* If an old temporary deploy directory was leaked by versions before flatpak#5146,
  clean it up the next time the same app is updated (flatpak#5164)

Bug fixes:

* If an app update is blocked by parental controls policies, clean up the
  temporary deploy directory (flatpak#5146)
* Fix Autotools build with versions of gpgme that no longer provide
  gpgme-config(1) (flatpak#5173)
* Fix a possible parallel build failure with Meson (flatpak#5165)
* Fix a compiler warning on 32-bit architectures (flatpak#5148)
* When building with Autotools, be more consistent about applying compiler
  warning flags (flatpak#5149)
* Unset $TEMP, $TEMPDIR and $TMP for apps, the same as $TMPDIR (flatpak#5168)
* Treat /efi the same as /boot/efi (flatpak#5155)
