xdg-utils-1.0.2 (Portland Project) Released

June 28, 2007 |

Thanks to a rainy Sunday afternoon, Waldo Bastian quietly announced the release of xdg-utils-1.0.2.

The Portland initiative is intended to provide independent software developers (ISDs) with stable APIs into Desktop Linux and other Free Desktop platforms. The first result of the Portland initiative is xdg-utils, a free set of open source tools that allows applications to easily integrate with the desktop configuration your customer has chosen to work with.

Changes in xdg-utils 1.0.2:

SVG icons are not supported but documentation still mentioned SVG
xdg-email can now be used without any e-mail address
Do not use mktemp without arguments, it breaks on systems with certain older versions of mktemp (xdg-desktop-menu, xdg-screensaver) [BR9266]

Please give it some testing to help ensure that no regressions have been introduced.
