AppManager: AppImage manager released in version 3.8.0

AppManager has been released in version v3.8.0.

AppManager is a GTK/Libadwaita tool written in Vala that installs AppImages on Linux via drag-and-drop, integrates them into the desktop and updates them automatically in the background - without a FUSE dependency and with support for SquashFS and DwarFS.

New in this version are the Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut to update apps, a portable home folder for standalone runs, and one-click web installs via appmgr:// links. It also brings several fixes for desktop entries and zsync upgrades plus a French translation.

What’s Changed

  • feat: add Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut to update apps
  • fix: stop leaking stale release tags to manual and zsync upgrades, and resolve pinned zsync tags directly
  • fix: skip sub-desktop entries that duplicate the root entry by content signature
  • feat: create portable home folder for standalone runs
  • feat: make missing FUSE warning banner dismissiable
  • fix: resolve relative CLI paths in remote invocations and never overwrite foreign bin symlinks
  • feat: use appimg install protocol
  • feat: Add support for one-click web installs via appmgr:// links
  • fix: Skip runtime helper binaries when installing multi-desktop AppImages
  • fix: Simplify empty-state hints and remove import buttons
  • fix: Keep UI responsive while stopping background daemon during migration
  • fix: Migrate extra desktop files and bin symlinks for multi-component AppImages
