1.19.0

• Completely rework and restructure the documentation website. Documentation is
  now segmented by target audience (app developers, desktop developers, and
  contributors). It also documents how the Document portal operates, the FUSE
  filesystem, and custom file attributes. This is available in the following
  address: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/index.html
• The portals.conf parser is now able to handle fallback backends better, and
  respects the order of backends in the config file.
• Try to use the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk backend as a last resort backend, if
  everything else fails.
• Implement getlk and setlk, and honour O_NOFOLLOW, in the Document portal's
  FUSE filesystem.
• Neutralize the Devices portal. Originally the Devices portal was introduced
  so that services like PulseAudio or PipeWire could request access to
  microphones and cameras on the behalf of apps. It was not meant to be used by
  sandboxed apps directly, which is unusual for a portal. Practically, however,
  it didn't take off.
• Implement PID/TID mapping for host system apps.
• Add a new "supported_output_file_formats" option to the Print portal. This
  can be used by apps like browsers to limit the output file formats presented
  by the Print portal backend. For example, an app can limit file printing to
  PDF files.
• Add a new "GetHostPaths" method to the Document portal, which allows mapping
  file descriptors to paths on the host system. This can be used by apps to
  show more meaningful file paths in the user interface.
• Like the new method above, the Document portal sets the
  "user.document-portal.host-path" xattr on files, pointing to the the host
  system file path. The use case is similar to "GetHostPaths".
• Make the Background portal more robust when validating autostart files.
• Clarify behavior of the File Chooser portal in the documentation pages.
• Improve robustness against deleted o_path fds in the Document portal.
• Fix a warning in some systems while trying to load Request D-Bus object
  properties.
• Fix a physical inode leak in the Document portal.
• Various improvements to the test suite. Python-based tests now run in parallel
  and are more careful when setting up the mock D-Bus server. Tests also start
  dbus-monitor if necessary now. FUSE tests of the Document portal have been
  made more TAP-alike now.
• Memory leak fixes in a variety of portals and services, including the
  permissions database, the Document portal, the File Transfer portal, the
  Location portal, the Background portal, tests, and the icon validator. And
  more. There's a lot of memory leak fixes everywhere, really.
• Major refactorings of the icon validator. Icons are now limited to 4MB files.
• Update XML specification specifying session handle type to match current
  actual ABI in GlobalShortcuts, Inhibit, RemoteDesktop, and ScreenCast portals.
• New and updated translations.
