UI Changes

  • Search bar resized

Fixes

  • flatpak: cached app current version
  • flatpak: update notification for runtimes with the same name
  • flatpak: some warnings are treated as errors after downgrading
  • disk loader not filling all requested cached data from the disk
  • Ubuntu root password check
  • Ubuntu 19.04 pip3 install issue

AUR support (arch gem):

  • Search, install, uninstall, downgrade, retrieve history and launch packages
  • Faster source files downloads improving installation speed ( see README.md for more information )
  • Automatically improves package compilations ( see README.md for more information )

Code

  • Code was internally modularized as: api (conceptual classes used to create custom software managers or gems), gems (software managers), commons (common classes shared among the view and gems), view (UI code)
  • api allows custom operations so the gems can provide actions that the current GUI does not support (Snap "refresh" was refactored as a custom operation)

Comments

  • the application settings are stored in ~/.config/bauh/config.json
