This is a development prerelease for the adventurous, part of the 1.15.x
branch, which will eventually lead to a 1.16.0 stable release. Don't
include this version in stable OS distributions.
Most of the bug fixes in this release are also queued for inclusion
in stable release 1.14.3.
Build system:
* Building this version of Flatpak with Meson is recommended. The source
release flatpak-1.15.3.tar.xz no longer contains Autotools-generated
files, although this version can still be built using Autotools after
running `./autogen.sh`. Future versions are likely to remove the
Autotools build system.
Bug fixes:
* When splitting an upgrade into two steps (download without installing, and
then upgrade without allowing further downloads) like GNOME Software does,
if an app is marked EOL and superseded by a replacement, don't remove the
superseded app in the first step, which would result in the replacement
incorrectly not being installed (#5172)
* Fix a crash when --socket=gpg-agent is used (#5095)
* Fix a crash when listing apps if one of them is broken or misconfigured
(#5293)
* If an app has invalid syntax in its overrides or metadata, mention the
filename in the error message (#5293)
* Unset $GDK_BACKEND for apps, ensuring GTK apps with --socket=fallback-x11
can work (#5303)
* Fix a deprecation warning when compiled with curl >= 7.85 (#5284)
* Translation updates: es, ru (#5266, #5312, #5313)
Internal changes:
* Better diagnostic messages for why runtimes are or are not considered
unused (#5237)
