| 0 | Major changes in 0.8.0 | |
| 1 | ====================== | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | This is the first release in a new series of stable releases called | |
| 4 | 0.8.x. New features will be added to 0.9.x, and only bugfixes will be | |
| 5 | backported to 0.8.x. The featureset of this release is a good base to | |
| 6 | target if you're creating flatpaks that should be widely usable. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | This release technically requires only OSTree 2016.14, and it build | |
| 9 | fine with this, but we recommend using OSTree 2016.15, because of the | |
| 10 | change in how it verifies the checksums of commits in delta files. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | * Flatpakrepo files now support a RuntimeRepo= key which points to | |
| 13 | a flatpakrepo file. This means the user don't have to manually | |
| 14 | configure a remote for the runtime, just reply to the prompt | |
| 15 | to automatically do this when installing the app. | |
| 16 | * We now support dependencies when installing bundles. This includes | |
| 17 | required runtimes, related refs, and the equivalent of RuntimeRepo. | |
| 18 | * The support for OCI in flatpak has been updated to the latest | |
| 19 | OCI spec version, and support has been added to directly install | |
| 20 | flatpak applications from an OCI image. | |
| 21 | * In flatpak install, the --from and --bundle options are now optional | |
| 22 | if the argument has the correct suffix (.flatpakref and .flatpak) | |
| 23 | * Flatpak install now supports -y to let you avoid interactive prompts. | |
| 24 | * build-finish: We now export mime type files with the right name. | |
| 25 | * build-finish: New --require-version option let you specify a particular | |
| 26 | version of flatpak, and older version of flatpak will not install | |
| 27 | or update to the new version. | |
| 28 | * build-sign: Allow signing all apps by omitting the id. | |
| 29 | * Fix regression in the document portal when adding named files. | |
| 30 | * build-import-bundle now signs the commit if you specify a gpg key. | |
| 31 | * Flatpak now reads configuration from /etc/flatpak/installations.d | |
| 32 | which lets you support multiple system-level installation paths. | |
| 33 | These can be accessed with new --installation=... arguments to | |
| 34 | most of the commands. | |
| 35 | * flatpak-builder: Support --jobs=N to limit parallel builds | |
| 36 | * flatpak-builder: Patch source got new options property that lets | |
| 37 | you pass arguments to patch. | |
| 38 | * flatpak-builder: New generic "buildsystem: type" option that | |
| 39 | replace the (now deprecated) "cmake: true" option. This | |
| 40 | supports "autotools", "cmake" and "meson". | |
