* Tue Sep 16 2025 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 49.0:
+ Fixed build with musl libc
+ Fixed some memory corruption bugs that led to
gnome-session-init-worker crashing on logout
+ Fixed a memory leak in gnome-session-init-worker
+ Allowed Qt apps to use the Wayland text-input protocol, instead
of forcing them to use the direct ibus integration plugin
+ Updated translations
* Sat Aug 30 2025 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 49.rc:
+ Disabled the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver proxy service on the
login screen
+ Separated out the systemd-specific code from the gnome-session
leader process into a dedicated executable. This makes it
easier to integrate distributions that use alternative init
systems with gnome-session
+ Updated translations
* Fri Aug 29 2025 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 49.beta:
+ gnome-session is no longer started via a shell script, and
instead all of the necessary setup is done in C.
+ gnome-session's builtin service manager has been completely
removed. Service management will now be handled entirely by the
operating system's native service manager (i.e. systemd).
See the following blog post for more information:
https://blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2025/06/10/gnome-systemd-dependencies
+ The "fail whale" dialog has been removed
+ Various unused APIs and interfaces were removed, including:
- The org.gnome.SessionManager.Client and o.g.SM.App D-Bus interfaces
- Various D-Bus APIs related to the service manager
- Various .desktop and .session file keys that were used only by the
builtin service manager
- Fallback sessions, since there's no way to fall back anymore
+ The code was significantly refactored
+ gnome-session now provides a gnome-session-basic-services.target,
that sessions like the GDM greeter and gnome-initial-setup can
use to avoid listing all of the basic GNOME session services
(like all the gnome-settings-daemon plugins)
+ The --autostart command line option was removed, and instead
kiosk sessions should set Kiosk=true in their session
definition file.
+ Updated GNOME's mimetype defaults to drop Evince (which was
replaced with Papers)
- Changes from version 49.alpha.1:
+ Fix POTFILES to stop listing deleted files
+ Stop requiring the gnome-settings-daemon Wacom plugin, which doesn't exist anymore
+ Ensure that we start localsearch when starting a GNOME session via systemd
- Changes from version 49.alpha.0:
+ Removed XSMP
+ Removed session restore functionality
+ X11 sessions are disabled by default
+ Added a default mimeapps list for GNOME's core apps
+ gsd-xsettings now starts on demand in Wayland
+ Dropped gnome-dummy session
+ Allow Inhibit() with no app ID
+ Unset all LC_* variables that are bound to REGION
+ Ported fail whale to gtk4
+ Dropped session selector GUI
+ Dropped the hardware acceleration check
+ gnome-session-inhibit: Propagate parent death
+ gnome-session-inhibit: Fixup terminal handling
- Drop gnome-session-better-handle-empty-xdg_session_type.patch: no
longer applicable
- bump basever to 49: follow upstream versioning
- Pass -Dmimeapps=false to meson: we maintain our default list in
glib2-branding.
- drop gnome-session-xsession subpackage, obsoleted by the main
package
- Drop gnome-session-s390-not-require-g-s-d_wacom.patch: no longer
needed
- Have the main package require gnome-session-wayland: this could
probably be folded back into the main package (unless xsession
reappears)
- Add long-missing requires(post,postun) update-alternatives
* Sat Apr 12 2025 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 48.0:
+ The gnome-session script no longer re-runs itself as a
subprocess.
+ GNOME OS CI was ported to use a CI template.
+ Integrated new CI-based release process.
+ Fix bugs caused by systemd v257's inhibitor behavior changes.
+ Make `gnome-session --version` print to stdout rather than
syslog.

- Bump basever define to 48, following upstream changes.
