steam-runtime-tools v0.20230718.0

  * pressure-vessel fixes:
    - runtime: Cope with OSs where an alias is used as the canonical
      SONAME.
      In particular this handles libbz2.so.1 on Fedora, which doesn't match
      the upstream SONAME libbz2.so.1.0.
      (Resolves: ValveSoftware/Dota-2#2392)
    - runtime: Ignore nvidia-vaapi-driver when capturing VA-API drivers.
      It has more major dependencies than we are really prepared to deal
      with, in particular GStreamer.
      (Resolves: ValveSoftware/Dota-2#2392)
    - runtime: If creating one alias fails, move on to the next one
    - runtime: Improve debug logging for libraries taken from the host OS
    - runtime: Improve debug logging for libraries that have aliases
    - runtime: Improve debug logging for exported paths
  * Documentation updates

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230621.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Don't let bubblewrap prevent standard output from reporting
      end-of-file (steam-runtime#593)
    - Add pv-adverb --assign-fd option
  * input-monitor:
    - Hex-dump evdev capabilities by default, in a format that is easier
      to copy/paste into steam-runtime-tools and SDL test data
    - Also hex-dump the HID report descriptor for HID devices
    - Add --only-new option, which is the opposite of --once
  * system-info:
    - check-vulkan: Update for Vulkan-Headers >= 1.3.246
    - check-xdg-portal: Look for more xdg-desktop-portal interfaces.
      The June 2023 update to Steam makes more use of the various portals,
      in particular the FileChooser for "native" File -> Open... dialogs.
  * Documentation:
    - Update for Debian 12 having been released
    - Make CLI tools show a placeholder in --help for all options with
      arguments
    - Mention Steam Runtime 5 as another possible future branch

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230605.0

  * launch-client:
    - Add --inside-app=APPID option.
      This attempts to run the command inside Steam app/game APPID,
      similar to --bus-name=com.steampowered.AppAPPID.
    - Add --alongside-steam option.
      This attempts to run the command in the same execution environment
      as Steam, without the Steam Runtime, similar to how Steam implements
      non-Steam game shortcuts. (steamrt/tasks#293, steam-runtime-tools#107)
    - Add --host option.
      This attempts to run the command on the host system from inside a
      Flatpak or Snap app, similar to flatpak-spawn --host.
    - Officially deprecate --dbus-address and --socket
    - Refactoring
  * launcher-service:
    - Add --alongside-steam option
      (steamrt-tasks#293, steam-runtime-tools#107)
    - Add --no-replace option
    - Refactoring

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230601.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Cope gracefully with duplicate modules in LD_PRELOAD/LD_AUDIT
      (steamrt/tasks#302)
  * scout-on-soldier:
    - Remove compatibility with very old soldier releases
  * steam-runtime-tools library:
    - Use CRLF line endings for diagnostic messages if stderr is a terminal,
      fixing stair-stepping when running s-r-launch-client with debug enabled
  * launcher-service:
    - Add --stop-on-parent-exit option
    - Validate bus names properly
    - Improve exit status for a wrong --exit-on-readable
    - Fix a typo in the man page
  * Automated tests:
    - Restructure pv-adverb code so we can unit-test it
    - Make sure we generate an invalid D-Bus name when needed
    - Expand test coverage for launcher-service options

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230509.0

  * check-vulkan: Avoid out-of-spec behaviour that caused a crash with
    some versions of the Nvidia proprietary driver (steamrt/tasks#294).
    Thanks to James Jones.
  * pv-wrap: Try to share TMPDIR, etc. with the container.
    We share /tmp with the container, so it's consistent if we also
    share $TMPDIR and so on.
  * pv-wrap: Don't use temporary directories below $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
    Canonical's unofficial Snap packaging of Steam sets this up, but then
    doesn't allow pressure-vessel to bind-mount that location
    (steam-runtime#586)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230418.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * system-info, pressure-vessel: Support Vulkan layer manifest version 1.2.1
    - In system-info, report the library_arch field (if present)
    - In pressure-vessel, copy the library_arch field (if present)
    (steam-runtime-tools#103)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230405.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * pressure-vessel: Ignore the Discord IPC socket if it's a dangling
    symlink, fixing a regression in 0.20230403.0 for users of the
    Discord Flatpak app (steam-runtime#581)

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Add some missing symbols to the ABI tracking
  * Documentation updates
    - container-runtimes: Add release notes link
    - container-runtimes: Link to container-runtime.md for general info
    - slr-for-game-developers: Fix some broken links
  * Correct version number in meson.build

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230403.0

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * pressure-vessel: Remove pv-test-ui.
    This has been superseded by steam-runtime-launch-options.
    Please see docs/slr-for-game-developers.md for more information.
  * Documentation updates, especially in docs/slr-for-game-developers.md
    - Describe how to use steam-runtime-launch-options
    - Clarify how to unpack the soldier SDK
    - Describe how to use a locally-modified Platform or SDK
    - Document more required and recommended libraries
    - Put more emphasis on sniper and less on soldier
    - Add some advice on debugging SLR on new distributions
    - Expand READMEs for SteamLinuxRuntime and SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier
    - Add a README for SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper
    - Improve cross-references
  * Update bundled projects:
    - bubblewrap v0.8.0
    - libglnx to 2023-02-27

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * pv-wrap: Share Discord "Rich Presence" IPC sockets with the container
    (steam-runtime-tools#102)
  * system-info: Detect whether the desktop session is X11 or Wayland,
    and related information (steamrt/tasks#235)
  * system-info: Fix a minor memory leak
  * Test improvements

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230314.0

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * pv-wrap: Stop providing /run/host/container-runtime.
    This was never an intended way to detect the container environment:
    the intended interface is to look for /run/host/container-manager, as
    per <https://systemd.io/CONTAINER_INTERFACE/>.
    Removing this will cause controller hotplug detection to regress in
    games that bundled their own copy of SDL between 2.25.x (sometime
    around September 2022) and 2.26.4. However, removing this can also
    avoid a crash with some bundled SDL versions.
    The regression can be avoided by not bundling SDL, and instead
    relying on the Steam Runtime to provide a sufficiently recent version.

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * graphics-provider: Ignore Homebrew/Linuxbrew paths.
    Older versions of Homebrew used to install `ldconfig` into the general
    Homebrew bin directory that was usually prepended to PATH. This
    could result in crashes, because ldconfig is tightly coupled to the
    version of glibc in use, and we would try to use Homebrew's ldconfig
    with the system glibc. Newer versions of Homebrew avoid this by not
    putting their ldconfig in the PATH. (steam-runtime#569)
  * wrap-setup: Preserve a custom XCURSOR_PATH values from the host
    (steam-runtime#572)

  [ Simon McVittie, Miguel Casique Meneses ]
  * Tests/CI adjustments (steamrt/tasks#248)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230227.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * library: Separate the libelf based checks into a separate helper.
    We can't compile inspect-library with an RPATH because we want to
    load libraries as the host system does, which means we can't guarantee
    to be able to find libelf.so.1 if the host system doesn't have it.
    Avoid this dependency by moving the libelf based checks into a separate
    helper program, with the right RPATH to find the bundled copy. This
    also keeps that code out of the critical path for identifying
    graphics drivers in pressure-vessel.
    (steamrt/tasks#236, steam-runtime#562)
  * inspect-library helper: Refactoring

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230220.0

  * pressure-vessel:
    - Ensure Vulkan layer manifests are all in the same
      directory, fixing a regression in 0.20230206.0 for layers like
      MangoHUD that use $LIB or $PLATFORM in their layer_path
      (steamrt/tasks#239, steam-runtime#564)
    - Log critical warnings if layers are not going to work
    - Don't append layers to VK_DRIVER_FILES under FEX-Emu
  * steam-runtime-launch-options:
    - Allow edits to the game's command-line options.
      As with all settings in steam-runtime-launch-options, these are
      not saved from one run to the next, so this is a convenient way to
      make temporary changes like adding -vulkan to Source-engine-based
      games without affecting the next run of the same game.

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230216.0

  * check-vulkan: Add new error codes from Vulkan-Loader v1.3.239
    (steamrt/tasks#228)
  * pv-wrap: Temporarily provide /run/host/container-runtime.
    This is a hotfix for a SDL 2.26.x regression that broke controller
    hotplug (steamrt/tasks#234)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230206.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * pressure-vessel: Reuse the basename of Vulkan drivers.
    Since Vulkan Loader 1.3.234, it is possible to select which driver to
    use by listing their names in the environment variable
    `VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT`, but this functionality will only work with
    pressure-vessel if we keep the original JSON manifest name.
    (steamrt/tasks#223, steam-runtime#558)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230131.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * runtime: Correct path_visible_in_provider_namespace() check.
    This makes Vulkan layers work more reliably, particularly if installed
    into ~/.local/share for a home directory in /home (steamrt/tasks#213).

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * CI: Build and upload content for Steam app 1070560 (SteamLinuxRuntime)
    rather than handling it as a special case of the workflows used for
    soldier and sniper (helps: steamrt/tasks#200, steamrt/tasks#207)
  * _v2-entry-point: Remove unused verbose() function
  * populate-depot.py: Internal improvements for CI
    (helps: steamrt/tasks#200, steamrt/tasks#206)
  * tests: Use -S option when invoking old versions of Python
  * tests: Internal improvements

steam-runtime-tools v0.20230112.0

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * scripts: Convert most scripts from bash to the POSIX shell /bin/sh.
    This improves robustness if the bash found in $PATH cannot be run
    in the scout environment, in particular if it was installed via Nix
    and relies on DT_RUNPATH. (steam-runtime#545, steamrt/tasks#209)
  * container-runtime: Remove backwards compatibility with old versions
    of the pressure-vessel/ directory
  * container-runtime: Update documentation to reflect this now being part
    of steam-runtime-tools

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * system-info: Detect when an expected version definition was missing
    from a library, either having different version definitions or being
    completely unversioned (steamrt/steam-runtime-tools#95)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20221215.0

  * CI fixes only

steam-runtime-tools v0.20221208.1

  * CI: Also make the actual binaries available to debuginfod

steam-runtime-tools v0.20221208.0

  * pressure-vessel: Pass through Gamescope's special Wayland display
  * subprojects: Add a copy of the SteamLinuxRuntime scripts.
    This will help us to coordinate changes between steam-runtime-tools and
    SteamLinuxRuntime.
  * CI: Refactoring
  * debian: Stop including redundant source code in
    pressure-vessel-relocatable.deb (if source code is required, use the
    steam-runtime-tools.dsc source package)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20221130.0

  * pressure-vessel: Update Flatpak-derived code to 1.14.1
    * Don't bind-mount /efi into containers, same as /boot
    * Slightly better debug info for failures
    * Use a better XML DOCTYPE for fonts.conf
    - The remaining changes are in code that doesn't get compiled into
      pressure-vessel.
  * pressure-vessel: Update included copy of bubblewrap to 0.7.0
    - Improve error messages
    - The remaining changes are not relevant to pressure-vessel.
  * pressure-vessel: Make sure we don't use bwrap --perms option if we are
    using a system copy of bwrap that doesn't support it
  * s-r-launch-client: Make --version, --list output to standard output
    as intended, not standard error
  * library: Improve logging/debugging support
    - Ensure the three standard file descriptors always point somewhere,
      even if that's /dev/null
    - Send warnings and error messages to the systemd journal (on systems
      where it exists) if they would otherwise go to /dev/null
    - If output is going to the systemd journal, create our own stream so
      that it is labelled correctly
    - pv-wrap: Log more details about the changes made to the runtime to
      create the container's root filesystem
    - pv-wrap, pv-adverb: with SRT_LOG=journal, redirect warnings and
      errors to the systemd journal (output from the actual game is not
      redirected)
    - pv-wrap: With SRT_LOG=overrides, log the full contents of /overrides
      for comparison and debugging
    - pv-wrap: With SRT_LOG=container, log the full contents of the
      container's root filesystem (as modified from the runtime) for
      comparison and debugging

steam-runtime-tools v0.20221115.1

  * tests: Don't assume /dev/shm is a real directory.
    In older chroot environments it's sometimes a symbolic link to /run/shm.
