4.11.8 (2026-09-08)

---

• Make :func:~platformdirs.user_data_path, :func:~platformdirs.user_config_path, :func:~platformdirs.user_preference_path and :func:~platformdirs.user_applications_path return the first site entry when root is redirected by use_site_for_root under multipath, matching their site_*_path twins. They passed the whole joined list to :class:~pathlib.Path, giving one unusable path such as /xdg/a/foo:/xdg/b/foo - by :user:darrenhuai. :pr:538
• Ignore relative paths in XDG Base Directory environment variables and use the existing platform fallback. Relative entries in $XDG_DATA_DIRS and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS are skipped. :pr:540
• Preserve literal percent signs in Unix user-dirs.dirs paths, including 100% complete, 100%% and %(XDG_DESKTOP_DIR)s. Continue to expand $HOME. :pr:542
• Use the base Python installation to locate Homebrew site directories on macOS, preserving shared data, config, cache and state paths inside virtual environments. :pr:543

---

4.11.7 (2026-09-01)

---

---

4.11.6 (2026-09-01)

---

• Give :func:~platformdirs.user_bin_dir and :func:~platformdirs.user_bin_path the use_site_for_root argument. They took none, so neither could reach the Unix redirect of root to :func:~platformdirs.site_bin_dir. :pr:537

---

4.11.5 (2026-08-27)

---

• Give :func:~platformdirs.user_preference_dir and :func:~platformdirs.user_preference_path the same arguments as :func:~platformdirs.user_config_dir. Added without arguments in :pr:491, they could only return the unscoped base directory even though the property they wrap appends the app name and version. :pr:531
• Make :func:~platformdirs.site_applications_path return the first entry when multipath=True, matching :func:~platformdirs.site_data_path. On Unix and macOS it passed the whole $XDG_DATA_DIRS list to :class:~pathlib.Path, giving one unusable path such as /first/applications:/second/applications. :pr:532
• Give :func:~platformdirs.user_applications_dir, :func:~platformdirs.user_applications_path, :func:~platformdirs.site_applications_dir and :func:~platformdirs.site_applications_path the app arguments. Android scopes both applications directories to the app, so without them the functions could only return the unscoped base directory there. On the two site functions they are keyword-only, keeping multipath first positional as it has been since 4.9.0; the two user functions take their boolean options keyword-only. :pr:534
