However, Flatpak as it is right now, it’s very usable, but it is yet to achieve the 1.0 version milestone, which usually marks a project as mature and ready for mass deployment. And it’s now more closer than ever as the development team announced today the availability of the first Flatpak 1.0 pre-release version.
