4.0.0

The library is ported to Qt6, such that the Qt5-based version 3.12.0 can be installed alongside it for supporting Qt5-based apps. Also,

• Considered the EV XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP as a colon-separated list.
• Fixed an FTBFS with BUILD_DEV_UTILS enabled.

3.12.0

Just corrected a typo and bumped the version.

3.11.0

File association is fixed with desktop entries that are symlinks.

3.10.0

• Correct (menu/panel/…) icons are guaranteed for newly installed apps on the fly.
• The priorities of desktop-directories folders are fixed.

3.9.1

For making it possible to have Qt5 and Qt6 installations of libqtxdg alongside each other in near future, two changes are made to this point release:

1. qtxdg-mat has been separated from libqtxdg and put into qtxdg-tools.
2. The installation of config files has been made optional.

3.9.0

Main changes:

• String literals are supported in Exec keys of desktop entries.
• Enhancements to qtxdg-mat.

3.8.0

Main changes:

• Added support for default terminal.
• Considered XDG_DATA_HOME when computing desktop entry id.
• Made sure that hicolor is searched before dash fallbacks.
• Considered Qt's fallback search paths when finding icons.
• Handle relative paths in qtxdg-desktop-file-start.

3.7.1

Main changes:

• Fixed compilation against Qt < 5.14.
• Added a nullity check for paint device.

3.7.0

Main changes:

• QSvgRenderer is used with a cache for SVG icons, so that LXQt's icon handling could not be broken by intruding icon engines that register themselves for "svg" (like kiconthemes 5.80).
• Allow runtime overriding of detachment of processes by setting QTXDG_START_DETACH_TRULY.
• XTerm is added as a runtime dependency.
• Code cleanup.

3.6.0

Main changes:

• A class is added for setting/getting the default email client, file manager and web browser. It is used in the new file associations dialog, which covers setting of default apps too.
• Fixes for setting of default apps and getting of recommended apps with the GLib back-end.
• Fixes and enhancements to QtXdg MimeApps Tool (qtxdg-mat).
