0.9.4.1

Fixes

• Fixed list command autocompletion crashing when running without Python optimization mode. (reported by @lucasmz-dev)

0.9.4

Features

• Added gamemode service which provides access to Feral's GameMode D-Bus API. Use gamemoderun to run a specific application with optimization tweaks. For example, add gamemoderun %command% to Steam game launch options. If GameMode daemon is not running does nothing. Steam profile also enables this service by default. (only affects newly created instances)

Fixes

• XDG_SESSION_TYPE is now set to x11 when wayland service is disabled in Xwayland environments with x11 service enabled. This fixes certain applications trying to connect to Wayland socket even if it was not passed to sandbox.
• Fix manual pages not being reliably reproducible because certain metadata not having stable order. (reported by @sertonix)
• Fix slirp4netns service not working when /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink. (reported by @odomingao)

0.9.3

Fixes

• Steam profile now allows it to acquire any D-Bus name starting with com.steampowered.*. This fixes several PressureVessel startup errors. Existing Steam instances will NOT be retroactively affected and com.steampowered.* must be manually added to the "Application's D-Bus name" in the GUI or under dbus_name key in [common] section in the text config.
• Firefox desktop entry name specific to Fedora is now supported. (reported by @boredsquirrel)
• Fixed bubblejail sometimes hanging on startup or shutdown after a JSON decode error is raised. (thanks to @odomingao for providing exception traces)
• The minimum meson version is now set at 1.3.0. This allows for better error messages then attempting to compile bubblejail on a meson version lower than supported one.

0.9.2

Features

• Access to CPU topology under /sys/devices/system/cpu is now provided by default. A lot of modern applications makes use of it. (Chromium, WINE...) Steam profile already used root share service to pass /sys/devices/system/cpu. This change should compatible with existing Steam instances.

Fixes

• Fixed Nvidia graphics not working with direct_rendering service. The recent 500+ driver requires access to the /sys/module/nvidia/initstate file. (reported by @consolation548 and tested by @gnusenpai)

0.9.1

Features

• New icon designed by @gelatinbomb

Fixes

• Fix WebKit built-in sandboxing not working.
• Fix missing comma in default syscall filter preventing certain filters from working. (contributed by @rusty-snake)

0.9.0

Changes since 0.8.3

Major build changes!

• New dependency! python-lxns is a Python library to control Linux kernel namespaces. For convenience the library is available as a meson subproject and is bundled in source archive. Set use-vendored-python-lxns build option to true to enable meson subproject. If you are a distro maintainer it is recommended to package python-lxns independently and mark it as dependency.
• allow-site-packages-dir was removed. Unfortunately it is impossible to control Python packages install dir with meson. If you still want to install bubblejail in to site-pacakges you can either patch meson.build or use meson rewrite kwargs delete project / default_options "" command in source prepare step.
• bytecode-optimization build option is replaced with meson's native python.bytecompile. Most distros meson wrappers already set this option.
• tomli support has been dropped. tomlib from Python 3.11 standard library is the only supported TOML reading library. (note that tomli-w is still a requirement)

Features

• Source code licensing is now verified with REUSE.
• Log messages now always use stderr.

Fixes

• Fix bubblejail-config GUI utility not using its icon. (reported by @boredsquirrel and @rusty-snake)
• Fix Chromium and Firefox profiles not working on certain distros because of diverging desktop entry names. (reported by @boredsquirrel)
• Fix instance being left in inoperable state if D-Bus proxy failed to initialize.
• Fix namespaces_limits service sometimes failing because of concurrency races
  with sandboxed PID.
• Fixed several typos and added codespell to the CI.

0.8.3

Features

• Add debug service which can be used to add arguments to bwrap
  and xdg-dbus-proxy invocations. See bubblejail.services man page
  for its configuration keys and values. (requested by @xiota)
• Document directories used by bubblejail in bubblejail man page.
  (requested by @firefoxlover)

Fixes

• Mount file pointed by symlink if /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink when network
  service is used. This fixes DNS issues when systemd-resolved is used.
  (first reported by @adworacz)
• Fixed joystick description not being complete. (reported by @xiota)
• Fixed PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX environment variable breaking build system.
  (first reported by mlj on AUR)

0.8.2

Fixes

• Fix slirp4netns service sometimes failing because of wrong user namespace
  being passed. (reported by @xiota)
• Fix bubblejail sometimes continuing to run even if some service failed to
  initialize. (reported by @xiota)
• Fix typo in the generic.toml profile file. (contributed by @I-Al-Istannen )

0.8.1

Features

• Added support for tomllib standard library package for reading TOML files.
  It is available since Python 3.11. tomli package is now only needed if
  running on Python 3.10. (note that TOML writing library tomli-w is still
  required)
• Using run command on an already running instance now prints a message to stderr
  that the instance already running and the commands that will be sent to instance.
• Tightened D-Bus filtering rules for Notifications and Systray services. Turns out
  a lot of D-Bus servers for those services expose too many interfaces than required.
  (thank you @rusty-snake for pointing this out)

Fixes

• Fixed trying to create config directories on access. If a system wide directory was
  missing like /etc/bubblejail/profiles/ bubblejail would fail to run.
  (reported by @rusty-snake)
• Removed isolated python mode for build scripts. This makes it easier to build bubblejail
  when meson or Python is installed in non system directory. (fixed with the help of @eli-schwartz)
• Fixed slirp4netns initialization failure being ignored. Now if slirp4netns fails to
  start bubblejail will also fail. (reported by @xiota)
• Fixed running bubblejail without arguments raising exception instead of help text.
  (fixed by @rusty-snake)
• Fixed namespaces_limits initialization failure being ignored. Now if namespaces_limits
  fails to set namespace limits bubblejail will also fail. (reported by @rusty-snake)
