 - `ffmpeg_5` has been removed. Please use the unversioned `ffmpeg`,
   pin a newer version, or if necessary pin `ffmpeg_4` for compatibility.
 
+- The `xdg.portal.gtkUsePortal` option has been removed, as it had been deprecated for over 2 years. Using the `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable in this manner is not intended nor encouraged by the GTK developers, but can still be done manually via `environment.sessionVariables`.
