Hey xdg-shell-linux fedi corner :drgn:

The xdg-utils went though another round of merging open MRs and it’s amazing to see how much life came to this almost dead project within a year!

I know some of you contributors are reading this: You are awesome :drgn_heart: !

For anyone who wants to join in: You are welcome!

Me and Simon are now at the point where we can read and think about every new issue and Merge request.

Also thanks to Simon for enabling this :drgn_heart:

I’m also repeating: We need more eyes on that code, nobody can maintain something like the xdg-utils alone!

With two of the most obvious bugs fixed. :drgn_wrench:

Thanks to the people who helped finding and fixing! :neofox_glasses: :neocat_laptop: :opensuse:

Version 1.2.0 of the xdg-utils is out! :drgn_box:

Please test it! (But don't deploy yet)

Thank you to everyone else who contributed and thanks to Simon for the trust and maintainer work! :drgn_heart:

We need more eyes on that code! :drgn_notice:

The xdg-utils are children of their time, shellscripts that by large don’t follow a “modern” scripting style …

… which means that there is a lot of work to catch up on and any changes should be reviewed by more people than they currently are.

In case you want to help:

Just pick something that seems interesting and doable for you and open an issue/merge request.

Things that need to be done:

:neofox_solder: :neocat_science: :drgn_wrench:

And while I’m at it i might also hijack #fosdem for this. :drgn_dark_mlem:
