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.

  * pv-wrap: Improve path mapping under FEX-Emu or similar emulators
    by distinguishing between paths visible to native code (aarch64)
    and paths visible to emulated code (x86)

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * pv-exports: Treat /run/gfx the same as /run/host
  * pv-wrap: Add --deterministic option to make consecutive logs easier
    to compare with generic diff tools
  * pv-wrap: Make the debug log shorter and easier to compare by omitting
    redundant path segments
  * pv-runtime: Detect some errors that were previously ignored
  * pv-runtime: Improve robustness against crashing if initialization fails
  * pv-locale-gen:
    - Produce less repetitive output
    - Launch a bit faster
    - Give a better hint about why we want a locale
  * pv-adverb: Let missing locales show on stderr.
    This will give users a hint about how they can speed up container setup.
    (Helps: steam-runtime#541)
  * s-r-input-monitor: Sort hidraw and evdev devices "naturally"
  * library code: Add SRT_LOG=TOKEN[,TOKEN...] option to alter how we log.
    Possible values are subject to change, but currently:
    - debug: enables debug and info messages, implied by --verbose or
      PRESSURE_VESSEL_VERBOSE=1
    - diffable: reduces differences between logs (show fewer process IDs,
      etc.), implied by pv-wrap --deterministic
    - info: enables info messages, implied by PRESSURE_VESSEL_LOG_INFO=1
    - pid: force process IDs to be logged, even if diffable was used
    - timestamp: prefix log lines with a timestamp, implied by
      PRESSURE_VESSEL_LOG_WITH_TIMESTAMP=1
    - timing: show the time taken for various operations (performance
      profiling), even if not debugging
  * Update libglnx subproject
    - Use its g_memdup2() backport instead of our own

steam-runtime-tools v0.20221014.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * pressure-vessel: Add support for FEX-Emu graphics library thunking.
    When emulating x86 on aarch64, FEX-Emu optionally loads thin x86
    graphics driver libraries that make calls into the underlying aarch64
    graphics drivers, instead of implementing the whole user-space part
    of the graphics driver in x86 code that needs to be emulated. To
    make this work as intended, we have to ensure that the search path
    for each of these categories includes both the x86 version from the
    FEX-Emu rootfs and the aarch64 version from the host system:
    - Vulkan drivers and layers
    - EGL drivers and external platforms
    - GLX drivers
    - Mesa DRI drivers
    - VA-API drivers
    Doing this for VDPAU drivers is not currently supported, because VDPAU
    only searches a single directory, not a search path.
  * pv-runtime, pv-graphics-provider: Refactoring to support the above
  * graphics: Refactoring to support the above

  [ Ludovico de Nittis, Simon McVittie ]
  * pv-runtime: Capture libudev.so.0 again, but only if the SONAME matches.
    This means we can pick up Arch Linux's libudev.so.0 shim if available,
    but we won't pick up an incorrect libudev.so.0 -> libudev.so.1 symlink
    like the one in ValveSoftware/steam-runtime#533.

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Update libglnx
    - Make cloning a file consistently seek to the end
    - More backports from newer GLib
  * Tests:
    - Add a script to run the tests in a LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
  * Adjust for rename of default branch name to main

steam-runtime-tools v0.20220927.0

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * pv-runtime: Don't capture libudev.so.0 for now.
    This means we won't use a system copy of libudev0-shim, but avoids
    crashes on systems where libudev.so.0 is incorrectly a symlink to
    libudev.so.1. (steam-runtime-tools#96, ValveSoftware/steam-runtime#533)
  * libcurl-compat: Make it possible for run.sh to activate or deactivate
    the compatibility shim without re-running setup.sh (steamrt/tasks#119)
  * Tests:
    - Improve ability to run tests against the Steam Runtime environment
    - Improve diagnostic output if JSON results differ

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * Tests:
    - Fix an intermittent unit test failure (steamrt/tasks#162)

steam-runtime-tools v0.20220919.0

  [ Ludovico de Nittis ]
  * pressure-vessel: If using libudev from the host, provide read-only
    access to /run/udev.
    This is sufficient to identify non-hotplugged game controllers in
    games that use libudev directly (older bundled SDL versions, or not
    using SDL at all).
    - Controller hotplug support continues to require using an up-to-date
      version of SDL or Proton.
    - This is not done for older host OSs (Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04, etc.)
      because on these older OSs we have to use the container's libudev,
      but the host /run/udev is not necessarily compatible with that.
    (steamrt/tasks#171)
  * tests: Fix test failure with Arch Linux glibc ≥ 2.36-4

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * pv-runtime: Use host's libudev if equal to or newer than container
    libudev, even if no graphics driver depends on it.
    This makes it more likely that we can parse /run/udev.
    (steamrt/tasks#171)
  * tests: Fix test failure with latest Steam Runtime 1 'scout' images

steam-runtime-tools v0.20220908.0

  * libcurl-compat: When building for scout (only), build a shim libcurl
    that can dispatch to runtime or system copies.
    This works around ABI divergence from upstream in the libcurl in
    Debian/Ubuntu between about 2005 and 2018, which unfortunately includes
    the time at which Steam Runtime 1 'scout' started. Additional setup in
    the steam-runtime scripts is necessary to take advantage of this.
    (steamrt/tasks#119)
  * Documentation updates:
    - compat-tool-interface: Non-Steam launch options can have %command% now
    - launch-client, shared-paths: Remove notes about obsolete versions
    - launch-client: Update release status
    - launch-client: Say where to find it
    - launcher-interface-0: Move example to launch-client
  * Tests:
    - Improve support for using the tests "as-installed" to test a proposed
      Steam Runtime
    - generate-sysroots: Avoid using undefined string escape sequences
    - Generalize TAP test template
  * build-aux: Actually use clang for the build labelled "clang"
  * launch-options: Update for steam-launch-wrapper addition to recent betas

  * pressure-vessel: Share more paths with the container by default
    (steamrt/tasks#149, steam-runtime#334, steam-runtime#393,
    steam-runtime#429, steam-runtime#470, Proton#5102,
    steam-runtime-tools#18)
    - If the user's real home directory is shared with the container,
      also share the typical paths for removable media: /run/media,
      /media, /mnt.
    - If the user's real home directory is shared with the container,
      also share FHS 3.0 top-level directories /home, /opt and /srv.
  * Locally-created top-level directories that don't follow any particular
    specification (for example /storage, /files, /games) continue to not be
    shared by default. They can still be shared by setting the
    STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS environment variable.
  * A new document docs/shared-paths.md describes what is and isn't shared.
