+# 1.7.8
+
+## Fix drawing issue
+
+In the last release we had some code that hit a bug in some graphics drivers.
+The fix that went in had a side-effect causing borders not to be drawn as
+expected. This release should fix that.
+
+Issue: #2076
+
+## DBusActivatable
+
+The previously introduced DBusActivatable seems to cause some issues and
+confusion. First if the application (dconf-editor looking at you) does not
+acknowledge it launched rofi stays open until it times out. By default this is
+15 seconds. We reduced the timeout to 1.5 seconds and added an option to
+disable DBusActivatable.
+
+The 2nd point is, that if you launch an application via DBusActivatable it is
+not launched by rofi and does not inherits rofi's environment, but the one
+systemd is configured to use for that user.
+The archlinux documentation explains this and how to fix this [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/User#Environment_variables).
+
+Issue: #2077
+
+## CI Fixes
+
+Because of some deprecation, the CI scripts are updated. It might be useful for
+people who want to help to test the latest rofi that for every commit an
+artifact is build with a 'source package' you can install.
+
+You can find them
+[here](https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/actions/workflows/build.yml) by
+clicking on the commit you want and scrolling to the bottom of the page. This
+contains a zip with the two normal source tarballs.
