The Flatpak Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework has been updated today to version 1.5, a major release that introduces many improvements and new features.
Highlights of the Flatpak 1.5 release include new “–or-update” option for the “flatpak install” command to perform an update operation if the application is already installed, as well as a new “flatpak mask” command that allows pinning of app versions and avoids automatic downloads.
Flatpak 1.5 also introduces support for self-updates and the ability to monitor updates for apps from the Flatpak portal, support for images tagged with labels and annotations, and support for Docker mimetypes.
Moreover, Flatpak will now always generate a history for images and flatpak-session-helper now links to more libraries. A new configuration key called “default-languages” has been added as well in Flatpak 1.5 to allow additions to the system list instead of overriding it.
