steam-runtime-tools v0.20240212.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Look for internal Nvidia helper libraries by their canonical names,
      which will be helpful if canonical/steam-snap#361 is fixed
      (steam-runtime#586)
    - Drop code paths that we have not used in production since mid 2021:
      + Remove support for providing the runtime as a tar archive
      + Remove obsolete command line options:
        - pv-wrap --runtime-archive=...
        - pv-wrap --runtime-id=...
        - populate-depot.py --include-sdk-debug
        - populate-depot.py --include-sdk-runtime
        - populate-depot.py --no-minimize
        - populate-depot.py --no-unpack-runtime
      + Stop checking for and deleting pre-2021 unpack/deploy directories
    - Improve test coverage
    - Refactoring
    - CI: Simplify path to relocatable amd64+i386 build of pressure-vessel
  * Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout):
    - Stop generating and uploading steam-container-runtime.tar.gz,
      superseded by SteamLinuxRuntime.tar.xz (steamrt/tasks#388)
  * Diagnostic tools:
    - Report some more VR-related environment variables (steam-runtime#575)
    - check-vulkan: Update list of known errors for v1.3.275
  * s-r-launch-options:
    - Label medic and steamrt5 runtimes nicely
  * Library code:
    - Refactoring
  * Documentation updates

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240126.0

  * SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper.sh: Tolerate CRLF line endings in VERSIONS.txt
    (steamrt/tasks#375)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240125.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - When running in Flatpak, forward inherited fds to subsandbox
      (steam-runtime#644, fixing a regression in 0.20240103.0)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240124.1

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Temporarily go back to using /run/pressure-vessel/ldso under Snap.
      This is a workaround for snapd's steam_support AppArmor profile
      making overly specific assumptions about pressure-vessel implementation
      details, and will be reverted in a future release.
      (canonical/steam-snap#356, steam-runtime#640)
  * SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper, etc.:
    - Fix relative path from steampipe metadata to top-level regular files
      (steamrt/tasks#375)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240124.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Temporarily go back to using /run/pressure-vessel/ldso under Snap.
      This is a workaround for snapd's steam_support AppArmor profile
      making overly specific assumptions about pressure-vessel implementation
      details, and will be reverted in a future release.
      (canonical/steam-snap#356, steam-runtime#640)
  * SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper, etc.:
    - Fix relative path from steampipe metadata to top-level regular files
      (steamrt/tasks#375)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240123.2

  * SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper.sh, etc.:
    - Avoid corrupting machine-readable output on stdout, if any
    - If no COMMAND, just print an entry point to use later
    - Allow using a name not matching tarball content
    - Accept .version.txt as an alternative to .VERSIONS.txt
    (steamrt/tasks#375, steamrt/tasks#385)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240123.1

  * upload-artifacts: Really upload SteamLinuxRuntime.tar.xz
    (steamrt/tasks#375, steamrt/tasks#376)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240123.0

  * SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper, etc.:
    - Optionally generate Steampipe upload configuration
    - Optionally generate an archive, and a script to unpack and launch it
      (steamrt/tasks#375, steamrt/tasks#376)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240119.0

  * SteamLinuxRuntime 1.0 (scout):
    Catch up with changed filenames in the Steam client client beta,
    fixing a regression for SLR 1.0 games (steamrt/tasks#382)
  * Documentation updates
  * Add missing newline to some error messages
  * pv-adverb: Describe target of each redirection if debugging

steam-runtime-tools v0.20240103.0

  * pv-wrap: Don't register stdout, stderr, --pass-fd with FlatpakBwrap.
    This fixes two separate issues:
    - if stdout/stderr were directed to a log file, pv-adverb output would
      start again at byte 0, overwriting pv-wrap output;
    - on error, we would crash with an assertion failure on trying to close
      those fds twice
    (steamrt/tasks#370, fixing a regression in v0.20230621.0)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20231208.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Try to load NSS plugins without relying on ld.so.cache, fixing
      their discovery on heavily customized OSs (steam-runtime#632)
    - Look up graphics libraries by their concrete SONAMEs, for the same
      reason
    - Improve compatibility with FEX-Emu (steamrt/tasks#342).
      The part of this change that is visible to those not using FEX
      is that ld.so.cache inside the container moves from /run to /var.
  * Steam Linux Runtime depots:
    - Remove all DRI plugins from future SLR branches, saving around 100M
      (steamrt/tasks#364)
    - When running pv-verify, allow SteamLinuxRuntime_whatever/.ref to exist

steam-runtime-tools v0.20231128.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Log a warning if we can't set up /etc/timezone
    - If emitting debug messages, include the full contents of the new
      ld.so.cache (steamrt/tasks#357, steam-runtime#630)
    - Make SRT_LOG=debug activate extra output.
      Previously, only --verbose or PRESSURE_VESSEL_VERBOSE would have
      activated this.
    - Better compatibility with very old CPUs, especially when using VDPAU,
      if the host OS has a supported expansion of ${LIB}
      + Affected Intel CPUs are older than "Haswell" (2013)
      + Affected AMD CPUs are older than "Excavator" (2015)
      + Systems where this works are those that use multiarch
        (Debian/Ubuntu or Flatpak), FHS multilib (Red Hat, etc.) or
        Arch Linux's multilib variant. Other systems where ${LIB} expands
        to distinct values for 32- and 64-bit x86 can easily be added to
        this mechanism if their users open an issue with the details.
    - Better compatibility with FEX-Emu, especially when using VDPAU
      (steamrt/tasks#349)
    - pv-verify: New tool to verify a directory against a mtree(5) manifest
    - Refactoring
  * Diagnostic tools:
    - Improve performance of steam-runtime-system-info, especially when
      running under FEX-Emu emulation (steam-runtime-tools#88)
    - Stop relying on ability to run timeout(1), which might improve
      compatibility with some sandboxed or limited environments
      (steam-runtime-tools#88)
    - Resync wflinfo implementation with waffle 1.8.0
  * Steam Linux Runtime depots:
    - In usr-mtree.txt.gz, only put permissions in mode=, not all of st_mode,
      matching bsdtar(1) and mtree(8)
    - In usr-mtree.txt.gz, truncate fractional seconds to ".0" if zero
    - Add a top-level mtree manifest for the depot as a whole.
      In SLR 2.0 (soldier) and 3.0 (sniper), after pressure-vessel has been
      updated to a suitable version, it will be possible to verify the
      depot against its manifest by running a command like:
        /path/to/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/pressure-vessel/bin/pv-verify
      In SLR 1.0 (scout) the equivalent is:
        /path/to/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/pressure-vessel/bin/pv-verify \
            path/to/SteamLinuxRuntime
  * Library code:
    - Refactor helper subprocess launching
    - Make execution environment for helper subprocesses more consistent
  * Tests:
    - Make the pv-adverb test coverage more realistic
    - When using valgrind, don't show reachable objects by default
    - Fix a minor memory leak in check-xdg-portal (not significant during
      production use since this is not a long-lived process)
    - Stop diagnosing memory leaks in wflinfo (not significant during
      production use since this is not a long-lived process)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20231107.1

  * Fix internal version information

steam-runtime-tools v0.20231107.0

  * All CLI tools: Consistently unblock and unignore signals during startup
    (steamrt/tasks#354)
  * system-info:
    - Document JSON format for virtualization
    - Add an option to skip checking libraries
    - Add an option to skip graphics smoke-tests
    - Use the common log handler, so SRT_LOG takes effect
    - steam-runtime-system-info --verbose now outputs all fields from
      os-release(5)
  * pressure-vessel: Refactoring
  * urlopen: Use steam://openurl_external to open http, https URLs
    (steamrt/tasks#80)
  * Library code:
    - SrtSystemInfo: Avoid using fd-relative I/O for the real root, making
      several diagnostics more accurate when running under FEX-Emu:
      * DRI, VA-API and VDPAU modules (steamrt/tasks#347)
      * Vulkan layers
      * os-release(5) (steamrt/tasks#342)
      * ld.so (steamrt/tasks#348)
      * /overrides
    - SrtSystemInfo: Make more use of fd-relative I/O when acting on a
      sysroot, avoiding being misled by absolute symbolic links
    - SrtSystemInfo: Break reference cycles in dispose() if necessary
    - SrtSystemInfo: Fix assertion failure if failing to get container
      information
    - SrtSystemInfo: Keep better track of whether opening a sysroot failed
    - SrtVirtualizationInfo: Add missing getter for host-machine property
    - SrtVirtualizationInfo: Add os-release(5) from the host system under
      FEX-Emu
    - Collect os-release(5) path, canonicalized path, and any diagnostic
      messages about errors parsing it, not just its contents
    - Improve test coverage
    - Improve build robustness in scout
    - Refactoring
  * Tests:
    - Move non-pressure-vessel-specific tests to tests/
    - Fix test failure with a custom value for LC_ADDRESS
    - Remove unused imports

steam-runtime-tools v0.20231013.1

  * launcher-service: Unblock and unignore all signals during startup,
    fixing detection of subprocesses exiting when launched by Steam
    (steamrt/tasks#354, ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux#618)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20231013.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Add more entries to the list of NVIDIA driver libraries,
      notably libnvidia-gpucomp. Thanks to Daniel Dadap (steamrt/tasks#340)
    - pv-runtime: Duplicate symlinks in /etc, /var into the FEX-Emu
      interpreter root, fixing incorrect /etc/os-release under FEX-Emu
      (steamrt/tasks#342)
    - pv-adverb: Reduce environment variables, etc. to debug level.
      This reduces noise when redirecting to the systemd Journal.
    - pv-runtime: Use a closer match for 99-pulseaudio-default.conf
      when the host system uses PulseAudio.
      Thanks to Nozomi Miyamori (steam-runtime#623)
    - pv-runtime: Show warnings if unable to load drivers/layers
      (steam-runtime-tools#108)
  * Reduce profiling messages to debug level unless SRT_LOG=timing.
    This reduces noise when redirecting to the systemd Journal.
  * build:
    - Quote clang, clang++ commands correctly
    - Fix generation of timestamp for scout-on-soldier at merge commits
    - debian: Work around Debian#1053836
  * tests: Silence valgrind false-positives for one-per-process allocations

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230928.1

  * Hotfix for versions >= 0.20230919.0
  * pv-runtime: Deduplicate Vulkan drivers, etc. by their manifest content.
    When using Flatpak with the Nvidia drivers, we see two identical
    sets of manifests: they are intended to describe the x86_64 and i386
    drivers, but each one is equally valid to load the other, resulting in
    the same driver being loaded twice.
    Some games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Elder Scrolls Online
    have been reported to crash when this happens.
    Until 0.20230919.0, this was accidentally mitigated by
    steam-runtime-tools#124, but fixing that bug exposed the crashes.
    Avoid this by not making JSON manifests available in the container if
    they are a byte-for-byte duplicate of a manifest we already processed.
    (Regression in 0.20230919.0; steam-runtime#624)
  * tests: Stop assuming libcrypt will be pulled into a scout container.
    (Regression in 0.20230928.0)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230928.0

  * pressure-vessel: Update libcapsule to v0.20230928.0
    - Don't treat libcrypt.so.1 as part of glibc.
      It's build-time optional since glibc 2.28, and is not built
      by default since 2.38. In newer distributions like Debian >= 11 and
      Ubuntu >= 20.04, it's usually replaced by libxcrypt.
      (steamrt/tasks#332)
  * launch-options: Override PRESSURE_VESSEL_PREFIX when needed

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230922.0

  * system-info:
    - Fix a use-after-free closing standard output of the vulkan and
      xdg-portal checks

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230919.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Use a fully-resolved path when pointing to Vulkan drivers' and layers'
      JSON manifests, fixing broken symlinks when running under Flatpak
      (steam-runtime-tools#124)
    - Try to avoid duplicating Vulkan drivers and layers, by marking their
      manifests with the `library_arch` parameter where appropriate.
      In particular this fixes loading of released MangoHud versions
      under Flatpak (steam-runtime#618)
  * system-info:
    - Fix an incorrect use of VA-API that can cause an assertion failure in
      debug builds of Mesa (steam-runtime-tools#117). Thanks to David Rosca
    - Fix an incorrect use of VA-API that can cause the check to fail
      with non-Mesa drivers. Thanks to Emil Velikov
    - Avoid searching ~/.local/share for Vulkan drivers twice if it
      resolves to the same path as $XDG_DATA_HOME
    - Log a warning if machine-readable output cannot be closed
    - Refactoring
  * input-monitor:
    - Fix an ongoing memory leak
  * Documentation updates
  * Tests:
    - Fix continuous-integration failure when the beta and stable scout SDKs
      currently have different versions of a library that gets bundled
      with pressure-vessel, notably GLib
    - Improve logging when testing graphics driver discovery
