v58

What's new

GNOME 47 support is the driving reason for this release. Though, in contrast to the two previous GNOME versions, no code changes were required to make GSConnect compatible with GNOME 47.

Among other changes, much of the work focused on fixing regressions due to upstream changes, such as: restoring "Generate Support Log" functionality; making sure tooltips display on top of the user menu; and preventing constant re-displaying of mirrored notifications. Other fixes and enhancements were suggested/provided by GSConnect users, including: making Remote Input sessions less quick to disconnect and lose input; adding files received by the Share plugin to the system Recents list; and placing keyboard focus in the filename field, when opening the file chooser dialog used to select files to send with the Share plugin.
