phosh 0.12.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.12.0

New features:
- Only enable proximity sensor during calls
- Unblank screen on incoming calls
- encrypted volume mounts via org.Gtk.MountOperationHandler
- Show adaptive only apps in mobile mode (this is toggleable in the UI and configurable via GSetting)

This release needs either an #gtk3 or #glib patch. See release notes for the details for details, the full list of changes and contributors.

On my quest to land some more pending #phosh merge requests I finally reworked the mode based app filtering (https://social.librem.one/@agx/105004293674500101) so only docked mode shows all apps by default while only adaptive ones are shown in mobile mode.

This can be toggled manually via a button and also disabled completely via a #gsetting . Mobile mode gets more tidy this way (and you can always white list individual apps).

@mntmn I just backported stuff from upstream git to #gstreamer 1.18 so if you don't care about packaging then `gst-build` (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build) is even simpler. Once finished gst-play-1.0 --use-playbin3 jellyfish-15-mbps-hd-h264.mkv should be accelerated. The player is only there since i had issues getting accelerated video to work in #gtk3 in some situations and wanted to verify it works with #gtk4 (which it does). If you want to try that building gst-p-b, gtk4 and the player is enough.

@mntmn in case you're interested in #gstreamer as well: see https://source.puri.sm/pureos/packages/gst-plugins-bad1.0
fand https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/livi for a minimal player that I'm using to validate #hantro/#imx8 accelerated decoding with #gtk4 .

Good news for those using #phosh in docked mode with #mouse or #touchpad: #phoc will soon support configuring those via gnome-control-center (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/merge_requests/251)

#librem5 @purism

I've tagged version 0.9.23 of git-buildpackage (a tool to maintain #Debian packages in #git repositories): https://lists.sigxcpu.org/pipermail/git-buildpackage/2021-June/000411.html

The release improves git-attributes handling and #rpm support.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release!

sources are ugly but available https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/livi/

Stitched together a small (µ) video player using #gstreamer and #gtk4 to test accelerated #h264 video decoding on the #librem5 using it's #hantro VPU. It gets along with 20% CPU usage when rendering the 15 Mbps jellyfish demo to a #GdkPaintable which is twice as much as the raw `gst-launch-1.0` pipeline (https://social.librem.one/web/statuses/105799071793016596) but not too bad. It also suspends rendering on screen blank and prevent screen lock during playback so just enough for 'on the road battery drain testing'.

@Alexmitter @KekunPlazas @leimon @purism @brainblasted there are patches for that involving #libhandy which are used in #PureOS but gtk3 looks too frozen to get those in upstream so work is focusing on #gtk4 / #libadwaita here.

@leimon @purism yes, #nautilus is adaptive upstream nowadays thanks to @brainblasted work. @KekunPlazas brought that to #PureOS

org.Gtk.MountOperationHandler support coming to #phosh so you can open encrypted volumes with swipeable, modal dialogs

#gnome #gnomeonmobile @purism

@inuit it's one bit less to patch (PureOS patched this in amber too)

@inuit check with your distro. It's there on #PureOS:

@dylanvanassche @nitrokey @purism @PINE64 now we "just" need a #nitrokey and #libremkey with usb-c connector.

With >150 non-merge commits (~4.5 every day since the last release) this is one of the bigger #phosh releases commit wise.
