flatpak-0.10.2.tar.xz
This is the start of a long term support 0.10.x branch. After this all
main development will happen on master with backports to the branch of
bugfixes only.
Major changes in 0.10.2
=======================
* Flatpak now requires OSTree 2017.14
* flatpak update now updates from both system and user installations
by default.
* flatpak update is less noisy when updating appstream info.
* All the remote-* commands now by default automatically decide to use
--user or --system based on the given remote name.
* flatpak remote-ls with no remote lists the content of all remotes
* Fixed regression that made xdg-user-dirs and theme selection
for kde apps break.
* flatpak override with no argument now overrides globally, i.e. for
all apps.
* flatpak override now supports --nofilesystem properly. For example
flatpak override --nofilesystem=~/.ssh hides the ssh dir for all
apps, even those who have homedir access.
* flatpak install now takes a --reinstall argument which uninstalls
a previously installed version if necessary. This is very useful
when you want to install a new version from a different source.
* flatpak install now allows you to pass an absolute pathname as
remote name, which will create a temporary remote and install
from that. The remote will be removed when the app is uninstalled.
This is very useful during development and testing.
* Flatpak now creates CLI wrappers for all installed apps, so if you
add /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin or ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin
to your PATH you can easily start flatpak apps by their application id.
