4.11.9 (2026-09-16)

---

• Accept multipath in :func:~platformdirs.site_cache_dir and :func:~platformdirs.site_cache_path. Without it, the function API could not return the Homebrew cache prefix that :attr:~platformdirs.macos.MacOS.site_cache_dir adds under multipath - by :user:darrenhuai. :pr:544
• Parse Unix user-dirs.dirs line by line like xdg-user-dir. The INI parser raised on a repeated key or a line without =, and returned trailing comments and backslash escapes inside :func:~platformdirs.user_documents_dir and the other media directories. The last valid assignment now wins, and platformdirs unescapes the quoted value and ignores text after the closing quote - by :user:darrenhuai. :pr:545
• Read PUBLIC before the home directory in :func:~platformdirs.user_publicshare_dir on Windows, so it no longer raises RuntimeError when PUBLIC is set and the home directory cannot be determined - by :user:emme1t. :pr:546
• Raise RuntimeError from :class:~platformdirs.android.Android directories when the app folder cannot be found, instead of TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType - by :user:Str0k. :pr:547

---

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
