It implements the freedesktop.org org.freedesktop.Notifications model through a small GLib/GObject-facing C API. ### Projektgeschichte The GNOME documentation identifies Notify API version 0.7 and library version 0.8.8, with authors including Marco Trevisan, Logan Rathbone, Christian Hammond, Mike Hearn, and John Palmieri. The README describes libnotify as a library for sending notifications defined by the freedesktop.org Desktop Notifications specification. Over the 0.7 series, libnotify modernized its build and command-line tooling: NEWS records Meson support in 0.7.8, a notify-send man page and autotools removal in 0.7.9, and richer notify-send behavior in 0.7.10 such as replacement, wait, actions, responses, and failure exit codes. ### Adoptionsgeschichte libnotify became the common packaging surface for scripts and desktop programs that need cross-desktop notification popups. Its notify-send executable is especially visible because it lets shell scripts and CLI tools trigger the same notification service used by graphical applications. ### Wie es verwendet wird Programs initialize libnotify, create NotifyNotification objects, set hints such as urgency, category, image, sound, transient, and desktop-entry, and submit notifications through a notification daemon. The README notes that sandboxed applications can use the XDG Portal Notification API path, and that GLib applications should prefer GNotification. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren libnotify is package-nerd significant because it is a small library with a very visible command-line tool and a cross-desktop D-Bus contract. It often appears as a light dependency in desktop stacks, test scripts, and system hooks where notify-send is the public face of the library. ### Zeitleiste - 0.7.8: NEWS records Meson build-system support and notify-send support for full URLs as hint values. - 0.7.9: NEWS records a notify-send man page, Darwin linking fixes, and autotools removal. - 0.7.10: NEWS records notify-send support for replacement, waiting, actions, responses, and failing exit codes. - 0.7.13: NEWS records use of Desktop Portal Notification when running confined under snap or flatpak. - 2024-08-18: The freedesktop.org Desktop Notifications Specification was published as version 1.3. ### Related projects - Related standards and APIs include org.freedesktop.Notifications, D-Bus, XDG Portal Notification API, and GLib GNotification. - Related implementations include desktop notification daemons used by GNOME and other freedesktop-compatible desktops. ### Quellen -
