From 7f31a1acae8f9825ccd083cf450cf411e467fb68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Larsson Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 22:16:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update NEWS --- NEWS | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 93d60d0c..c866ad44 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,3 +1,45 @@ +Major changes in 0.8.0 +====================== + +This is the first release in a new series of stable releases called +0.8.x. New features will be added to 0.9.x, and only bugfixes will be +backported to 0.8.x. The featureset of this release is a good base to +target if you're creating flatpaks that should be widely usable. + +This release technically requires only OSTree 2016.14, and it build +fine with this, but we recommend using OSTree 2016.15, because of the +change in how it verifies the checksums of commits in delta files. + + * Flatpakrepo files now support a RuntimeRepo= key which points to + a flatpakrepo file. This means the user don't have to manually + configure a remote for the runtime, just reply to the prompt + to automatically do this when installing the app. + * We now support dependencies when installing bundles. This includes + required runtimes, related refs, and the equivalent of RuntimeRepo. + * The support for OCI in flatpak has been updated to the latest + OCI spec version, and support has been added to directly install + flatpak applications from an OCI image. + * In flatpak install, the --from and --bundle options are now optional + if the argument has the correct suffix (.flatpakref and .flatpak) + * Flatpak install now supports -y to let you avoid interactive prompts. + * build-finish: We now export mime type files with the right name. + * build-finish: New --require-version option let you specify a particular + version of flatpak, and older version of flatpak will not install + or update to the new version. + * build-sign: Allow signing all apps by omitting the id. + * Fix regression in the document portal when adding named files. + * build-import-bundle now signs the commit if you specify a gpg key. + * Flatpak now reads configuration from /etc/flatpak/installations.d + which lets you support multiple system-level installation paths. + These can be accessed with new --installation=... arguments to + most of the commands. + * flatpak-builder: Support --jobs=N to limit parallel builds + * flatpak-builder: Patch source got new options property that lets + you pass arguments to patch. + * flatpak-builder: New generic "buildsystem: type" option that + replace the (now deprecated) "cmake: true" option. This + supports "autotools", "cmake" and "meson". + Major changes in 0.6.14 ======================= * Update bundled bubblewrap to 0.1.4 which has some nice bugfixes.
