** Summary changed: - Update gjs to 1.48.4 + Update gjs to 1.48.5
** Description changed: Impact ------ - 1.48.4 is a new bugfix release in the stable 1.48 series, associated with the GNOME 3.24 stable series. 17.04 currently has 1.48.3. + 1.48.5 is a new bugfix release in the stable 1.48 series, associated with the GNOME 3.24 stable series. 17.04 currently has 1.48.3. https://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs/log?h=gnome-3-24 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs/tree/NEWS?h=gnome-3-24 This update fixes a crash of GNOME Shell on Wayland. When GNOME Shell is run on Wayland, a crash will completely destroy the session (unlike on X where GNOME Shell tries to restart itself) so this is a high priority fix. Test Case --------- GNOME Shell is written in gjs so let's test GNOME Shell. After installing the update, reboot. Also check some of these apps: gnome-characters gnome-documents gnome-maps gnome-sound-recorder gnome-sushi gnome-weather polari All of them except for gnome-sound-recorder and polari are included in Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu Budgie. Regression Potential -------------------- - If gjs has a problem, it could leave Ubuntu GNOME users unable to log in to their computer at all since gdm uses part of gnome-shell to work. + If gjs has a problem, it could leave Ubuntu GNOME users unable to log in to their computer at all since gdm uses part of gnome-shell to work. All GNOME 3.24 distros will be including this update though. + + There was a regression identified in 1.48.4 but it was quickly fixed (in + about 2 days). Other Info ---------- gjs 1.48.3 got stuck in phased-updates but the underlying issue was actually in gnome-maps which has already been fixed in 17.04 now. This gjs update should clear Phased Updates then. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gjs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698553 Title: Update gjs to 1.48.5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/+bug/1698553/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
