Version 0.8 of the XDG Base Directory Specification states (emphasis mine)

The $XDG_STATE_HOME contains state data that should persist between (application) restarts, but that is not important or portable enough to the user that it should be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME. It may contain:

  • actions history (logs, history, recently used files, …)
  • current state of the application that can be reused on a restart (view, layout, open files, undo history, …)
