2.42.0
Implement the necessary changes to support the XDG Base Directory specification.
This issue was first brought up here with a bit more info, and a solution was presented in a pull request on wangqr's fork here.
I've tried to implement it myself on this fork, hoping I was lucky enough that it was just copy-paste with no issues, but it threw some errors and I don't know how to fix them since I don't have any knowledge of C++.
