Hi All,

I have created a test beta release of xdg-utils at [1] it contains 
contributions from over 20 people so thakyou to them. Some of the 
highlights are listed below.

* better support for Plasma6, Deepin, LXQt
* partial support for WSL / flatpak's
* Numerous other fixes and improvements

One of the main aim's with this beta release is to sort out any issues 
with the release process as it hasn't been done for quite some time. I 
have just let gitlab create the source tarball automatically, if people 
are happy with this I will just continue to do it this way because its 
simple. In that case we should update the release link on [2].
If people would prefer manual tarballs uploaded to the old location I am 
happy to do that (I have a copy of a tarball locally), someone will just 
need to show me how.

If no one raises any major issues with the beta i'll aim for a full 
release in around 2 weeks time.

Thanks
