14 DAY TRIAL // Flatpak maintainer Alexander Larsson announced the release of a new stable Flatpak series, versioned 0.10.x, which introduces a handful of improvements and bug fixes.
Flatpak 0.10.0 is the first update in the new series, and it's a small release adding the "flatpak config" option to allow users to set the language settings, implement a workaround for some random OSTree static delta issues, adds /dev/mali0 to --device=dri, and fixes a bug that makes ld.so.conf files to not be generated.
"This is the first release in a new series of stable releases called 0.10.x. New features will be added to 0.11.x, and bugfixes will be backported to 0.10.x. During the early phase of the 0.10.x series we may also backport minor features, but we guarantee backwards compatibility," said Alexander Larsson.
Flatpak 0.11 series to get more new features
While this first update adds only a handful of improvements, the new Flatpak 0.10.x stable series will probably get more optimizations and fixes for annoying bugs during its release cycle, but the Flatpak team promises to add more new features to the next major release, Flatpak 0.11.x.
Until then, we recommend updating to the Flatpak 0.10.x stable series as soon as it lands in the software repositories of your favorite GNU/Linux distribution if it supports the Flatpak universal binary format. The Flatpak technologies are used by Linux-based operating systems to allow users to install third-party apps.
If you fancy compiling the latest Flatpak release from sources, you can download the Flatpak 0.10.0 source tarball right now from the project's GitHub page, where you can also study the full changelog. We recommend updating to this new version as soon as possible if you're using Flatpak 0.9 or a previous release.
