I expect this to be the final 1.9.x release, and we can expect 1.10.0
early next year, containing basically what's in this release in terms
of features.
A minor change in the new indexed summary format in this release. The
gpg signature of the summary index is now stored in a filename indexed
by the checksum of the index rather than a static filename. This fixes
an update race between clients accessing the two files during and update.
It also helps in keeping mirrors and cached coherent. The old filename
is still created/used for backwards compat with 1.9.1, but may go
away in the future.
Other changes:
- --filesystem=host now exposed /var/usrlocal (as seen on ostree)
- Better error messages in flatpak portal.
- Rebases during update now install the new app before uninstalling
the old, which means failure during the first doesn't leave the app
uninstalled. - flatpak_installation_list_installed_refs_for_update() now handles
some case better when apps in the user installation depends on
runtimes in the system installation. - New version of the deploy files which guarantees the existance of
a bit more data. This is useful for eol detection of apps that were
installed with previous flatpak versions. - Some corner cases when installing an app with extra-data into a nonstandard
installation were fixed. - Fixed crashed when killing and entering running instance that have
was running a runtime, not an app. - The root user can now bypass parental controls.
- Some fixes to library annotations.
- Updated translations
