Major changes in 0.6.10
=======================
* Dropped requirement for systemd --user.
The way we detect if an process we're talking to is sandboxed, and
what application id it has doesn't use cgroups anymore, which means
that the dependency on systemd in the user session is now optional.
This also means the --no-desktop argument is not needed any more.
(It is still accepted but does nothing.)
* Initial support has been added for .flatpakref files. These are simple key
value files similar to .flatpakrepo files, however they specify an application
to install in addition to the repo information. For example, gedit can be
installed by downloading https://sdk.gnome.org/gedit.flatpakref and running:
flatpak install --from gedit.flatpakref
There is also library support for this so it can be added to graphical
installers (such as gnome-software).
* Requires OSTree 2016.10. The change in how OSTree handles mtimes in
checkouts that was introduced in 2016.7 has been reverted, and
the required changes in Flatpak has been made. This means that
flatpak now depends on OSTree 2016.10.
* Requires Bubblewrap 0.1.2 for builds using the system bubblewrap.
Builds using the included copy need no changes.
* The $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/flatpak-info file has added information
about the running application, and is now also securely available
for a running application from the host as "/proc/$fd/root/.flatpak-info".
This is what is used to identify remote apps instead of the cgroup
info.
* A new run permission --allow=devel has been added. An application with
this permission is allowed to use ptrace and perf. This was previously
only available during "flatpak build" and "flatpak run -d". This
is useful if you're packaging e.g. an IDE.
* When an application is updated or removed a /app/.updated or /app/.removed
file is created for running instances. This can be used by applications to
trigger e.g. a restart for the new version.
* A new dbus request "HostCommand" has been added to org.freedesktop.Flatpak.
This lets you run any command on the host, and is therefore clearly not
sandboxed, so access to this should be limited. However, it is very useful
if you're using flatpak mainly as a distribution mechanism, for a non-sandboxed
application.
* flatpak-builder now supports running from inside a flatpak, by auto-detecting
this and using the HostCommand service to run recursive flatpaks.
* Consecutive calls to flatpak build-update-repo has been speed up.
* The document portal now allows sandboxed applications to create references
to files in /app and /usr (in the app/runtime).
* The update process noew doesn't stop at the first failure.
