This, +in combination with the work in the runtime allows flatpak to work out +of the box with out-of-tree OpenGL drivers, including the nvidia +driver. + +Additionally, due to some complicated issues wrt ptrace and user +namespaces this version disables the use of user namespaces if +bubblewrap is setuid, as it cause problems for the way flatpak +portals identifies applications. (See issue #557 for details) + + * Better handling of errors for extra-data + * Handle extra-data properly for runtimes (as well as apps) + * Respect required version for runtimes (as well as apps) + * flatpak list: Don't break if some local ref is not deployed + * builder: Look for appstream data in /app/share/metadata also + * builder: Fix buildsystem=cmake builds + * Add progress reporting to extra-data download + * Fix uid/gid for directories in document portal + +Major changes in 0.8.2 +====================== + +This is a bugfix and security update. + +Some of the bind-mounts that flatpak sets up were not read-only as +they should have. This includes: extensions, system fonts, +resolv.conf, localtime and machine-id. Many of thse are typically only +writable by root, but some, like the user-specific fonts and +user-installed extensions could be modified from the sandbox. + +Everyone using 0.8.x is recommended to update to this version. + +Other fixes: + + * There are new configure options for where to install dbus configuration + * Broken symlinks in the root directory no longer break flatpak run + * flatpak run with HOME in /var now works + * dri access now also handles mali devices + * install handles --arch when installing flatpakrefs + * system-helper activation fixed on systemd-less setups + * dbus-proxy now works without /run + * During installation, failing to update a dependency is now not + fatal. + * /etc is now fully writable when building runtimes + * --filesystem=xdg-config/foo now sets up the bind-mount from the host dir + even when not using :create. + Major changes in 0.8.1 ======================
