slatian, Version 1.2.0 of the xdg-utils is out! :drgn_box:
Please test it! (But don't deploy yet)
Thank you to everyone else who contributed and thanks to Simon for the trust and maintainer work! :drgn_heart:
We need more eyes on that code! :drgn_notice:
The xdg-utils are children of their time, shellscripts that by large don’t follow a “modern” scripting style …
… which means that there is a lot of work to catch up on and any changes should be reviewed by more people than they currently are.
**In case you want to help:**Just pick something that seems interesting and doable for you and open an issue/merge request.
Things that need to be done:
- Read the code and try to find mistakes (Usage of external tools, escaping, …)
- Find mistakes in open merge requests.
- Review, research and fix issues.
- Improve tests
- Improve documentation
- Rebase old merge requests
- Improve Cygwin and MacOS support
- etc.
