‍Flatpak 1.16.1 was released today as the latest stable version of this popular Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework and the first maintenance update to the Flatpak 1.16 series. Flatpak 1.16.1 brings various enhancements like the ability to allow a child account to update existing apps by default when using parental controls to ensure that security and bugfix updates can be installed. This change can be overridden by setting polkit policy rules for the org.freedesktop.Flatpak.override-parental-controls-update action. This release also speeds up the flatpak prune --dry-run command by no longer calculating the potential freed space and avoiding operations that would need to hold a lock, adds /dev/udmabuf to --device=dri, improves the error message for an invalid parameter to flatpak-spawn --sandbox-a11y-own-name, and speeds up the flatpak permission-reset command by only writing entries that have actually changed. In addition, Flatpak 1.16.1 makes systemd scopes easier to match to Flatpak app instances by using the instance ID instead of the top-level process ID in the scope name, adds support for looking for TLS certificates on /etc/containers/certs.d when interacting with OCI registries, and improves the documentation. Various bugs were addressed in this release, including a memory leak when installing extra-data, intermittent flatpak-portal crashes by avoiding unnecessary multi-threading, building with -Ddefault_library=static, incorrect error reporting, showing a fatal transaction errors twice, and including all options in shell completion for flatpak search. Flatpak 1.16.1 is now available for download from the project’s GitHub page. However, Flatpak being a component in your GNU/Linux distribution, it is highly recommended that you update it from the software repositories. The Flatpak devs recommend users and distributions update to this version as soon as possible.

‍The KDE Project released KDE Frameworks 6.14 as the latest version of this collection of more than 70 add-on libraries to Qt, providing commonly needed functionality to KDE apps and the KDE Plasma desktop. KDE Frameworks 6.14 continues the monthly KDE Frameworks releases with some new features like support for some archaic units for KRunner, such as furlongs and rods, as well as a revamped New Files dialog for the Dolphin file manager and other KIO-based apps that includes the icon of the new file or folder. It also adds support for displaying holidays in Vietnam in the KHolidays library used by various KDE apps to determine holidays and other special events for a geographical region, makes the dialog that asks you whether you want to open or run a file much fancier, and makes filtering files by filename faster in the Open and Save dialogs when pressing the CTRL+I or Backslash keys. Moreover, KDE Frameworks 6.14 updates the common Kirigami.FormLayout component used throughout System Settings and many other KDE apps to have a more visually pleasing style when there's not enough horizontal space to display everything in its normal mode, making it look much better when the view is very wide. On top of that, it adds support for clicking on checkboxes to select individual items in multi-selection dialogs for users using single-click selection, adds support for Breeze-themed icons in the system tray area for the Telegram Desktop app, and makes KWallet a wrapper around the cross-desktop "Secret Service" system. Various bugs were addressed in the new KDE Frameworks release, including a case where various messages in System Settings and other KDE apps would have links that did nothing when clicked, and a regression that made the Telegram Desktop app show a symbolic icon instead of a colorful one on the Task Manager for Plasma panels that are 38 pixels thick or less. Also fixed in KDE Frameworks 6.14 is an issue in the common Kirigami.ScrollablePage component that could make pages in the Plasma Discover package manager unnecessarily horizontally scrollable, a very high-priority bug in the Plasma desktop, as well as more than twenty 15-minute Plasma bugs. Check the release announcement page for more details. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the stable software repositories of your favorite Linux distro for the new KDE Frameworks packages and update your installations as soon as possible.

‍Calibre 8.4 was released today by developer Kovid Goyal as yet another maintenance update to the Calibre 8.x series of this open-source, cross-platform, and free ebook management software for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Highlights of Calibre 8.4 include a new option to generate KEPUB files that have better text justification at the cost of gaps in highlighting when used on a Kobo ebook reader and support for extending the background image specified in the Style section of the E-book viewer preferences under the page margins. The E-book viewer received more attention in this release as the developer also fixed a regression that broke the "show book in main calibre program" link, an issue where some links weren't processed correctly for very large EPUB files that contained many internal HTML files, and the ability to handle links to missing internal files with an error pop-up. In addition, Calibre 8.4 improves tag merging in the Metadata Review dialog, updates the ebooks.com plugin in the Get Books component, fixes the 'Next' and 'Previous' links in News Download, and adds a workaround for a Qt/Wayland bug that prevented the menu of the Layout button from showing. Other than that, this release prevents recursion when creating the base temporary folder if something on the system deletes the created temporary folder, adds Frieze Magazine as a new news source, and improves the NYTimes Book Review, Washington Post, Hindu, Economist, tagesschau, and Economist Espresso news sources. Check out the release notes for more details about the changes included in Calibre 8.4, which you can download right now from the official website for 64-bit and AArch64 (ARM64) Linux systems, as well as for macOS and Windows systems. You can also install Calibre as a Flatpak app from Flathub.

As with all of System76's laptops, the new Serval WS comes pre-installed with the company's in-house Pop!_OS Linux 22.04 LTS distribution based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, or with the newer Ubuntu 24.04 LTS operating system. System76 is still working on the upcoming COSMIC desktop environment written in Rust and Pop!_OS Linux 24.04 LTS. [su_quote]"System76 is working on COSMIC, their new open source desktop environment created for Pop!_OS. COSMIC is soon entering the beta phase. Once cleared for release, users can look forward to more battery life, cooler temperatures, more features, and an overall intuitive software experience," said System76.[/su_quote] You can configure and buy the new Serval WS Linux laptop right now from System76's online store.

‍Linux Mint leader Clement Lefebvre revealed today the codename of the next release of the popular, Ubuntu-based Linux Mint distribution, Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”, along with the codename for LMDE 7. Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” will be based on Canonical’s long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system series, just like the Linux Mint 22 series. The Linux Mint project leader also unveiled the codename of the upcoming LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 7 distribution as "Gigi". While Linux Mint 22.2 will pretty much look and feel exactly like Linux Mint 22.1 "Xia", the team plans to improve the default Mint-Y theme by adding a little bit of blue to "make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern", according to Clement Lefebvre. [su_quote]"Pure grey is neutral, it can be perceived as cold or warm based on its surroundings. By bumping the blue we force it to look cold," said Clement Lefebvre. "Another reason this makes the UI look more modern is because this is done a lot nowadays, but it wasn’t done so much 10 years ago. Like with all new trends, sticking to past standards can make things feel outdated."[/su_quote] Also for Linux Mint 22.2, the devs plan to add support for accent colors to the XDG Desktop Portal XApp to change the accent color in Flatpak libAdwaita applications based on your current GTK theme. This is supposed to work not only in the flagship Cinnamon edition, but also on the MATE and Xfce editions. Linux Mint 22.2 "Zara" will probably be released in June or July 2025. It will probably still be powered by Linux kernel 6.8, just like its predecessors, Linux Mint 22.1 and Linux Mint 22. However, since Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS comes with Linux kernel 6.11 from Ubuntu 24.10, users will be able to install the newer kernel if they want to. Developing story...
