Important
This release has a bug in the extension that breaks the web app install screen on Linux and macOS. Because of this, version 2.10.0 has been disabled on AMO. You should upgrade the extension to version 2.10.1 to fix the issue. The native part remains the same in 2.10.0 and 2.10.1.
Additionally, some antivirus software, including Microsoft Defender, detect the native connector as malware. The file has been submitted to Microsoft so it will hopefully be fixed soon. Until the antivirus issue is resolved, you might need to keep using the old version. This issue should now be resolved.

Localization support for the extension (#340):
The extension can now be localized into multiple languages. You can change the display language in the extension settings. Please note that translations are maintained by the community and may be incomplete or incorrect.
You can help translate the extension on Crowdin. If your language is not yet available, please let me know on Crowdin. More details about contributing translations can be found in our contributing guidelines and Crowdin discussion.
Currently, aside from English, Japanese is mostly translated with the help of @surapunoyousei.
Localization for the app browser is planned and is being worked on, but there are currently problems that prevent it from being finished. Help is appreciated.

Build-time feature to make the runtime immutable (#204):
The runtime can now be made immutable with the build-time Cargo feature
immutable-runtime. This prevents installing and uninstalling the runtime using commands, and also stops patching the runtime when launching web apps. The runtime can still be patched manually from the extension settings or the patch command if the user has sufficient write permissions to do so.This is meant for immutable systems like Guix or Nix where runtime might be provided by the package manager and pre-patched.

Option to apply the profile template to an existing profile when editing (#376).

Option to open apps automatically when they are installed (#447).
-
