Published release of Phosh 0.54, a screen shell for mobile devices based on GNOME technologies and the GTK library. The environment was initially developed by Purism as an analogue of GNOME Shell for the Librem 5 smartphone, but then became one of the unofficial GNOME projects and is used in postmarketOS, Mobian, ALT Mobile, Droidian, some firmware for Pine64 devices and the Fedora edition for smartphones. Phosh uses a Phoc composite server running on top of Wayland, as well as its own on-screen keyboard. Project developments distributed under the GPLv3+ license.
Among changes:
- Added the ability to implement status indicators in the form of plugins.
- Provided that notifications are displayed when applications fail to launch.
- In the quick settings block in the location management section, an option has been implemented to change the accuracy of location information.
- The list of applications has been updated with an adaptive interface that works on both large and small screens.
- The Phoc composite server has expanded focus management and improved support for windows with the “override-redirect” flag, such as screensavers and pop-up menus displayed by X11 applications, launched through Xwayland.
- The Stevia on-screen keyboard has added additional modifiers to the hotkey panel, and also implemented an option to disable the automatic space handling mode.
