When taking screenshots we also create thumbnails so they become easy to spot in the file chooser:

The status pages of quick settings now close automatically after a successful action so e.g. joining a Wi-Fi network or connecting a Bluetooth devices requires even fewer touches.

Phosh's notification server now honors the `sound` capability so clients like telegram-desktop can provide their custom notification sounds. This is integrated into feedbackd so the profile level is still respected. This can be tested with
fbcli -E notification-new-generic -S /path/to/your/custom.ogg
and would also allow e.g. chatty to provide custom sounds on a per chat basis (see e.g. https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Chatty/-/issues/660)

Phosh tour now starts automatically once after initial log in so the user can take the tour without knowing about the app:

@phosh hey this is cool! I always wanted apps to have custom sounds, and now we have a way to add that back 😁
My ideal (a bit far off, but maybe not too much?) would be to specify custom sounds per person/contact instead of per app. So we could have some kind of FreeDesktop spec to include a contact identifier (email, JID, Fedi handle, etc.) in a notification, and if that identifier can be matched against contacts it can play the corresponding sound ✨
There's a lot of "under the hood" changes in this release too:
We minimized the libposh API surface and from 0.45.0 we aim to keep it stable rather than being updated every release. This helps libphosh-rs and its consumers.
phoc now uses wlroots 0.18.2, we can now tweak the debug domains at runtime and both touch-point and damage-tracking debugging were fixed (they were broken since some time) and can also be dynamically enabled and disabled via DBus:

Note to distributions: This release needs an additional wlroots patch that is merged upstream but didn't make it into a release yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4973 (backport to 0.18: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4985)
