Alex Larsson has recently released Flatpak versions 0.9.6 and 0.8.7, which comes about two weeks after their previous point releases to implement a new feature that will avoid creating world-writable directories or setuid files, including in the Flatpak export functionality. Additionally, the Flatpak developers made it possible for all newly created flatpak installations to use a “bare-user-only” mode for the repositories. In other words, users can now install Flatpak apps even if the file system of GNU/Linux distribution you’re using doesn’t support extended attributes.
