Version 1.2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2026-08-28

Notes:
 * This release marks the libappstream-compose API as stable.

 * This release introduces a new, lightly sandboxed (on Linux) media worker for 
appstream-compose
   and switches to VIPS for image processing. Please report any issues you may 
find! The sandbox
   can be disabled by setting `ASC_NO_SANDBOX=1` in the environment.
   The image formats XPM, TIFF and BMP will no longer be read by Compose, and 
will be rejected
   unconditionally.

 * This release introduces <heading>My headline!</heading> markup for AppStream 
descriptions.
   Older versions will remove this markup, so only use it if your target 
clients have a recent
   version of AppStream.

Features:
 * compose: Create AscMedia for isolated out-of-process media handling using 
asc-mediaworker
 * compose: Process images, fonts & videos via the media worker
 * Generalize path segment validation, use it in the compose media worker
 * compose: Switch from using GdkPixbuf to VIPS for image processing
 * compose: Harmonize supported formats, don't read XPM/TIFF/BMP
 * compose: Make JPEG-XL the default image output format
 * compose: Implement basic support for FreeBSD
 * compose: Rely on VIPS for SVG support, drop our dedicated librsvg path
 * compose: Make image-targets and image batch-processing public API
 * compose: Expose the source-icon convention and a hint-tag lookup as public 
API
 * compose: Drop unstable-API marker
 * compose: Don't create image thumbnails that aren't a substantially smaller
 * compose: Only transfer pre-opened fds and no more directory fd to the worker
 * compose: Implement a basic sandbox for the mediaworker using Landlock
 * compose: Use RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC and block UDP access on newer Landlock
 * compose: Mix the output image format type into the GCID
 * compose: Make AscUnit a proper abstract class
 * compose: Improve API documentation
 * Always sanitize whitespaces in keywords and drop empty ones
 * Assume a language element without percentage means full translation
 * news-to-metainfo: Support a details URL in the YAML variant
 * news-convert: Support inline Markdown in news text
 * news-convert: Support headers in XML<->YAML/NEWS/Markdown conversions
 * ascli: news-convert: Support standalone release XML as source/target
 * Whitespace-sanitize all description markup we read
 * Output descriptions as literals in YAML and wrap markup ourselves

Specification:
 * docs: Document the appstreamcli news file conversion helper
 * Implement support for headings in description markup

Bugfixes:
 * meson: Set _POSIX_C_SOURCE on Linux only
 * compose: Fix a race where units were deleting each other's icon directories
 * compose: Fix documentation and introspection annotation issues
 * compose: Drop dead public API, make some API private
 * compose: Sharpen with libvips instead of a hand-rolled unsharp mask
 * compose: Only read AVIF from HEIF containers, never HEIC
 * compose: Fix double-free crash wh
