Version 1.2.1 built on 2025-11-19

Fixes

• WriteOverlay: Reading from newly created overlay files did fail.
• Properly format multiple URLs per dependency in --oss-attributions output.

AppImages

The AppImages can be downloaded, made executable with chmod u+x *.AppImage, and executed directly to start ratarmount.

There are also usability helpers for AppImages such as AppImageLauncher and AM.

If the AppImage is too slow to start up or to reduce memory overhead for the AppImage itself, the AppImage can also be manually unpacked and installed:

• Extract with ratarmount-*.AppImage --appimage-extract
• The extracted AppImage can be started by executing squashfs-root/AppRun.
• Rename and move the resulting generic squashfs-root folder wherever you want, e.g., /opt/ratarmount-<version>.
• Add a link to /opt/ratarmount-<version>/AppRun into some folder that is in your PATH variable, e.g., with:
  ln -s /opt/ratarmount-<version>/AppRun ~/.local/bin/ratarmount
