I just released xdg-app 0.5.0. The minor number is bumped, but it is still completely backwards compatible. However, it is a way to show that I now consider xdg-app to have reached a new level of stability and completeness.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/xdg-app/releases/xdg-app-0.5.0.tar .xz SHA256: 33c8409904c949eb68220eb068750c7b98e8e936e7eb71819f0fdb70ae6962fd See the NEWS file for the details of this minor release: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg-app/xdg-app/tree/NEWS?id=0.5.0 However, the major changes in 0.5 compared to the last announced version in version in the 0.4 series is: * New libxdg-app library with an API that lets you implement a graphical frontend for xdg-app. This is used by gnome-software, as well as the papyros software center. * Support has been added for handling AppData information in apps. This is a cross-desktop standard for user visible application metadata such as name, icons, description, changes and screenshots. The integration of this is what allows e.g. gnome-software to show lots of nice information when browsing xdg-app repositories. * The xdg-app command line interface has been cleaned up and simplified. * A new tool, xdg-app-helper has been added that makes it easier to build applications as xdg-app bundles. * Support has been added for single-file application bundles, so that you can ship an xdg-app on physical media. When you install the bundle it can also register a url from where you can later get updates. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc al...@redhat.com alexander.lars...@gmail.com He's a Nobel prize-winning albino grifter She's a high-kicking Buddhist queen of the dead who believes she is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian queen.
