The new version of Flatpak 1.15.7 introduces automatic removal of outdated drivers and improvements for Linux, from the Meson build system to fixes for D-Bus and Wayland.
One of the key features of the new version is the automatic removal of outdated driver versions and other unused references. This feature aims to eliminate unnecessary components that accumulate over time by automatically removing runtimes that have expired and are no longer in use. Thus, when the system is updated, old versions will be automatically removed, significantly simplifying system maintenance.
In addition, version 1.15.7 includes support for the ‘–socket=inherit-wayland-socket’ argument, allowing the existing Wayland socket environment to be inherited, as well as automatic reloading of the D-Bus session configuration when applications are installed or updated to ensure recognition of exported services.
Another significant change in Flatpak 1.15.7 is the abandonment of support for the Autotools build system in favor of Meson. Meson has already proven effective for Flatpak and is now the only build system in use.
