This is the first development release leading towards the 0.20 series.

## What's new in Cog 0.19.1?

- Support multiple web views, using the new CogView and CogViewport APIs.
  Each viewport may display one from a set of web views, and using many
  viewports is supported as well. Typically platform plug-ins map a
  viewport to some kind of "window" that can be displayed on screen.
  Most of the changes in this release are related to this new feature.
- launcher: Add command line flag to disable the built-in key bindings.
- launcher: Add command line flag to control media auto-play behaviour.
- launcher: Handle GApplication activation to avoid a warning.
- core: Move most of the key binding handling from the Wayland platform
  into CogView, making it common code for all platforms.
- core: Moved platform plug-in selection logic into the library, along
  with an always-built "fallback" implementation, which simplifies API
  usage.
- core: Avoid leaking web views due to CogShell holding one reference
  too much on them.
- core: The library now takes advantage of symbol visibility, and only
  the public symbols marked with the COG_API macro will be available for
  linking from the shared library.
- core: Avoid loading the same platform plug-in more than once.
- core: Automatically scan the default module path without needing
  programs to call cog_modules_add_directory() by themselves.
- core: Remove the cog_platform_configure() function, in favor of
  an new cog_init() function which is optional to call, and reorganized
  setup code to make API usage simpler.
- meson: Fix configuration error when only the Wayland platform plug-in
  is selected.
- drm: Fix touch region dimensions when the output is rotated by 90
  or 270 degrees.
- drm: Fix crash on iMX.6 (and possibly others) by improving how the
  CRTC and encoder combination is chosen.
- x11: Add support for using the xcb-keysyms library for handling key
  input events when the XKB extension is unavailable, either because
  its usage was disabled at build time, or the extension is missing at
  runtime.
- wl: Add support for Weston protocols version 13.
- wl: Fix blurry rendering in some compositors.
- wl: Add a check for memfd_create() to avoid the need to have write
  permission in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which is the case in some systems.
- wl: Set the opaque region also for non-fullscreen surfaces, resulting
  in a small performance improvement in some cases.
- wl: Add support for multiple seats.
- wl: Remove limit of 16 maximum outputs.
- gtk4, x11, wl: Add support for file choosers using the XDG Desktop
  Portal through libportal.
- gtk4, x11, wl: Add support for changing mouse cursors when hovering
  links (hand) and text (I-beam).

## What is Cog?

Cog is a suite of utilities for the WPE WebKit port, including a reusable
library (libcogcore), a launcher (named "cog" as well) suitable to be
used as a Web application container and a reusable library, and a tool
to control the launcher remotely (cogctl) using D-Bus.
