Existing repositories should keep +working, and locally user installed apps/runtime will be migrated +automatically. However, there are some things that you have to be +aware of: + * The command names are now flatpak/flatpak-builder + * System-wide installed apps/runtimes need to be reinstalled + * flatpak-builder uses a ".flatpak-builder" subdirectory instead + of ".xdg-app-builder". + * The bus name and interface name for the permission + store is changed, it was in org.freedesktop.XdgApp, but is + now in org.freedesktop.impl.portal.DesktopPortal. + * The installation migration is a one-time operation so you can't + go back to xdg-app after updating. + * The library API (and name) changed due to the rename. + +Other changes: + * Flatpak now hard-requires ostree 2016.15 + * Switch from using xdg-app-helper to an included version of bubblewrap: + https://github.com/projectatomic/bubblewrap + * Added a policykit-based system helper that allows you to authenticate + via polkit to install into the system repository. + * Added an experimental command to export/import applications and runtimes + as an OCI tarball. + * builder: Fix creation of locale extensions if there was no locale data in the + build. + * Its now possible to disable/enable configured remotes. + * A lot of new tests where added, and we now support installed tests. + * builder now has an optional --arch argument for multiarch building. + * Builder modules can be disabled with "disabled": true. + * Using --filesystem=/tmp now hides the system X11 sockets. + + Major changes in 0.5.2 ====================== |
