Bug Description
This is an exceptional microrelease update, documented at https:/
Impact
------
1.48.5 is a new bugfix release in the stable 1.48 series, associated with the GNOME 3.24 stable series. 17.04 currently has 1.48.3.

This update fixes a crash of GNOME Shell on Wayland. When GNOME Shell is run on Wayland, a crash will completely destroy the session (unlike on X where GNOME Shell tries to restart itself) so this is a high priority fix.
Test Case
---------
GNOME Shell is written in gjs so let's test GNOME Shell. After installing the update, reboot.
Also check some of these apps:
gnome-characters
gnome-documents
gnome-maps
gnome-sound-
gnome-sushi
gnome-weather
polari
All of them except for gnome-sound-
Regression Potential
-------
If gjs has a problem, it could leave Ubuntu GNOME users unable to log in to their computer at all since gdm uses part of gnome-shell to work. All GNOME 3.24 distros will be including this update though.
There was a regression identified in 1.48.4 but it was quickly fixed (in about 2 days).
Other Info
----------
gjs 1.48.3 got stuck in phased-updates but the underlying issue was actually in gnome-maps which has already been fixed in 17.04 now. This gjs update should clear Phased Updates then.
