    xdg-app 0.5 released

    At his blog, Alexander Larsson announces the release of version 0.5 of the GNOME xdg-app application sandboxing framework. The mailing list announcement provides a bit more detail on what is new, such as an API for creating graphical xdg-app front-ends, support for AppData metadata, and a new helper tool for those building app bundles. Larsson notes that his initial goals for the project were "make it possible for 3rd parties to create and distribute applications that work on multiple distributions" and "run applications with as little access as possible to the host. (For example access to the network or the users files.)" With the 0.5 release, he said, he considers the first goal met.
