v0.7

Added

• Bugfix: Added --gui option to package mode.

Changed

• Allow initialize into existing empty directory.
• Update list mode to include date when runtime was published
• python3-tuspy is now an optional dependency. Upload is disabled if it is not installed. This
  makes the .deb package compatible with older releases of debian and other downstream distros.
• Bugfix: Gracefully handle a repository not providing date information instead of crashing
• Bugfix: Handle the case when XDG_SESSION_TYPE is not set

NOTE!

• The Arch Linux package can be installed from the AUR at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/maps
• The Fedora Linux package can be installed from COPR at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/aaruni96/maps/
• python-tuspy is only available in Debian 12+ and Ubuntu 24.04+. Upload functionality will be disabled on older Debian and Ubuntu systems, until python-tuspy is manually installed.

v0.6

Added

• Added --export-url, which generates a valid URL which can be shared to deploy and run a runtime.

Changed

• Bugfix: Fix a regression where we stopped using overlays
• Bugfix: Fix a regression where we stopped passing through $HOME/Public
• Changed mkdir based crashes to report more graceful errors.

v0.5

Added

• Set value of TERM to something included in the runtime. This can be overridden by the env var
  SANDBOX_TERM.

• Added a --no-gui flag to explicitly disable support for GUI applications.

• Added a --gui flag to force enable support for GUI applications

• Allow running and deploying runtimes from URL.

• Added optional telemetry. This is OPT-IN, and shares limited data. Only the following data is
  transmitted, only when a new runtime is downloaded :

  • the name of the remote repository
  • the URL of the remote repository without username and password
  • the name of the runtime being downloaded

  The telemetry target can be overridden using the environment variable TELETARGET.

  If telemetry consent was previously given and wishes to be withdrawn, you can set the environment
  variable MAPS_NOTELE to any non blank value.

  If telemetry consent was previously denied and wishes to be given, you can set the environment
  variable MAPS_TELEMETRY_CONSENT to any non blank value.

Changed

• Bugfix: Fix info message about runtime updates.
• Bugfix: Add whitespace to runtime prompt.
• Changed GUI mounts to attempt binding, with silently continuing on failure, by
  default. Use --gui to error if GUI mounts fail.

Changed

• Bugfix: Fixed a regression (because of native overlayfs' other implications) which broke command
  defined in manifest

  downloading files.

NOTE!

python3-tuspy is currently not natively available in arch linux and fedora. Therefore, only the deb package is usable in this release!

NOTE!

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has enabled AppArmor by default. This breaks core containerization functionality of maps. We are working on a fix. In the meantime, as a workaround, please disable AppArmor to use maps.
The documentation to do so is available at https://wiki.debian.org/AppArmor/HowToUse#Disable_AppArmor

sudo mkdir -p /etc/default/grub.d
echo 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT apparmor=0"' \
| sudo tee /etc/default/grub.d/apparmor.cfg
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
