From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bug Fixes:

Fix permission check for host system apps in the Camera portal.
Do not expose the Settings portal if there are no backends available.
Disable sounds-related notification tests if the project is built without wavparse.

Enhancements:

Start porting the test suite to Python tests. Once finished, this should break the cyclic dependency between xdg-desktop-portal and libportal.
Install Python-based tests. This is mostly useful for distributions to run tests as part of their packaging process.
