Last Thursday March 14 we share with all of you a guide in which we explained what it was and how to install this package manager in Ubuntu. Today we have to talk about Flatpack 1.3, the latest version that has among its most outstanding novelties the support for systems with multiple Nvidia devices. But, as can be expected, more new features have also been added that we detail below. It seems important to mention that this latest version has been available since the middle of last week.
Flatpak 1.3 adds initial support for dconf sandbox software, introduces two new command options to create / update repositories and improves support for very large repositories by regenerating the appstream brand faster. On the other hand, the support for Linux Gentoo distribution, among other. For Kubuntu users, this update is in addition to an improvement to Flatpak support that was included in Plasma 5.15.3, available since last week.

Gentoo is an operating system where / var / run es symlink and the upgrade is for all operating systems that share this condition. Flatpak 1.3 too prevents the size of SVG images from being limited by the icon validator and the checks on the update output are green again. Be supposed to v.1.3 Flatpak is unstable, or so it was last week. I have it installed and I have not experienced any problems.
El next month the stable version will be released, v1.4. If you don't want to risk it, it is best to stick to the version that is available in the default packages, for which you also have to avoid adding the Flatpak repositories since they contain the latest version. Have you upgraded to Flatpak 1.3 and experienced any interesting bug or enhancement?
