Published release of Phosh 0.53, a screen shell for mobile devices based on GNOME technologies and the GTK library. The environment was initially developed by Purism as an analogue of GNOME Shell for the Librem 5 smartphone, but then became one of the unofficial GNOME projects and is used in postmarketOS, Mobian, Droidian, some firmware for Pine64 devices and the Fedora edition for smartphones. Phosh uses a Phoc composite server running on top of Wayland, as well as its own on-screen keyboard. Project developments distributed under the GPLv3+ license.
