Co je nového pro vývojáře a správce systému

GNOME 3.36 includes many new features and improvements for those working with GNOME technologies. Read on for more details!

Flatpak

Flatpak je technologie pro sestavování a šíření aplikací. Funguje napříč distribucemi i uživatelskými prostředími. Přestože není Flatpak přímo součástí projektu GNOME, je ve středu zájmu vývojářů GNOME.

During this release cycle, the Flatpak team released a new stable series: 1.6.x. This introduces an update monitoring API available via the Flatpak Portal D-Bus interface. An application can use this API to monitor for updates, prompting the user to install the update and restart the application. Along side the D-Bus API, a library called libportal offers asynchronous wrappers for most Flatpak portals, with a familiar GObject API.

Další vylepšení

Other improvements in GNOME 3.36 include:

  • Add a new GMemoryMonitor API to notify apps of memory pressure situations using low-memory-monitor.

  • Support adding call flags and timeouts to method calls generated by gdbus-codegen using the new --glib-min-required and --glib-max-allowed arguments.

  • Support dispose functions for GSources.

  • Add g_array_steal(), g_ptr_array_steal() and g_byte_array_steal() convenience APIs for stealing elements from arrays without freeing them.

  • Add g_warning_once() convenience API for printing a warning only once during a process’ lifetime.

  • Add g_get_os_info() API to read from /etc/os-release (or the equivalent on other platforms).

  • See the NEWS file for more details.
