Faugus Launcher: version 2.4.1 released

Faugus Launcher, a game launcher for Linux for managing Wine and Proton games, has been released in version 2.4.0 - shortly afterwards version 2.4.1 followed.

Update, version 2.4.1: The new version only changes the backup notification system, since the build was otherwise not accepted by Flathub. According to the developer, nothing else has changed.

I had to change the backup notification system because the build was not accepted by Flathub. Nothing else has changed.

Changes in version 2.4.0:

The update follows version 2.3.0 and brings a new backup system that can back up specific games including their prefixes, shortcuts and also Protons. It also adds an overview panel showing game name, playtime and last played time in the Grid, Covers and Carousel modes. The settings are now split into tabs, and the logging option moved from the settings into the menu of each game.
