The first version of the new stable branch 1.10.x of the Flatpak package manager has been released. The main innovation in this series compared to 1.8.x is the support for a new repository format that makes package updates faster and uses less data.
Flatpak is a tool for deploying, managing packages, and virtualization for Linux. It provides a sandbox where users can run applications without affecting the main system.
This release also includes security fixes from 1.8.5, so all users of the unstable branch 1.9.x are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Other changes since 1.9.3:
Compatibility issues with GCC 11 have been resolved.
Flatpak now better detects pulseaudio sockets in non-standard configurations.
Sandboxes with network access also now have access to systemd-resolved for performing DNS queries.
Flatpak now supports removing environment variables in the sandbox using –unset-env and –env=FOO=.
