For package maintainers

This release adds GSettings schema that needs to be additionally installed:

install -Dm 644 assets/io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate.gschema.xml -t /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Additionally, it might be necessary to recompile GLib schemas as a post-install hook, but I'm not sure about that yet:

glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Fixed minimum window width being affected by the length of selected firmware version in the dropdown.
This prevented it to fit perfectly on the PinePhone screen with 2x scaling factor.

v0.4.0

Changes

• External resources OTA update support
• Basic notifications forwarding
• Step count reading
• Various minor fixes and improvements: reflect unexpected disconnections in the UI, continuous battery level updates, automatic device discovery instead of scan toggle button, and more.

The notifications forwarding feature comes with a little caveat: it requires full D-Bus session bus access, and Flatpak users would need to grant this permission manually (either via Flatseal, or with command: flatpak override --socket=session-bus io.gitlab.azymohliad.WatchMate). Technically, this gives WatchMate access to sniff all user-level IPC on D-Bus (of course, non-flatpaks have it anyway). Reasonably, Flathub doesn't normally allow it (with exception for dev tools). Unfortunately, there seems to be no better Freedesktop API to implement it, and other PineTime companion apps on Linux do it the same way. If you prefer not to grant such permission, everything else besides notifications would still work.
