Bringing a month’s worth of improvements, Flatpak 0.10.2 is out with support for OSTree 2017.14, which is required for building the new release. An interesting feature of Flatpak 0.10.2 is the ability of the “flatpak update” command to update apps from both system and user installations by default. In addition, all Flatpak remote-* commands now automatically decide by default if they need to use either the –system or –user arguments, based on the given remote name. The “flatpak remote-ls” command has been updated as well to list the content of all remotes when no remote is given.
