LinwoodLinwood Flow 0.7.1 released
Flow 0.7.1 is here!
This update is mostly about making the existing features easier to use, especially when managing calendars from different sources.
The sources page has received some improvements, settings have been migrated to a new framework, and the build system has been brought in line with the other Linwood applications.
Highlights:
- đź“… Better calendar source management
- đź”— Easier source setup and read-only handling
- ⚙️ Updated settings and navigation
- 📦 More reliable and reproducible builds
Better calendar source management
Managing multiple calendar sources should now be a little easier.
The sources page has been improved to show more information about each source, including its details and the number of associated items.
You can now also delete sources directly from the list instead of having to navigate through additional dialogs.
Additionally, sources can have custom names, making it easier to distinguish between several CalDAV, iCalendar or device calendar connections.
This is particularly useful if you have multiple calendars from the same provider.
Easier source setup and read-only handling
Flow can now automatically extract usernames and passwords from source URLs, simplifying the setup of connections that include authentication information.
Read-only calendar sources are also handled more consistently.
Previously, some editing actions could still be available even when the source did not support modifications.
Flow now prevents these changes while keeping the calendar item details accessible.
You can still inspect events from read-only calendars without accidentally attempting unsupported operations.
Updated settings and navigation
The settings interface has been migrated to the shared Linwood settings framework, bringing it closer to the other Linwood applications.
The newer navigation items have also been reverted in favor of the previous navigation style.
Alongside some icon fixes, these changes should make the interface feel more consistent.
More reliable and reproducible builds
A large part of this release also focuses on the build infrastructure.
Flow now supports offline and reproducible builds, including deterministic release archives.
This makes builds easier to reproduce and verify independently.
The CI workflows and desktop packaging have also been aligned with Butterfly’s stable and nightly release infrastructure, reducing differences between the projects.
Linux app store metadata now includes release notes as well, so changes can be displayed directly in supported software centers.
Finally, variable fonts are now used to reduce the size of bundled font assets.
These aren’t the most visible changes, but they help keep Flow easier to maintain and distribute.
That’s it for 0.7.1! If you encounter any issues, please report them on GitHub.
Thanks to everyone contributing code, reporting bugs and suggesting improvements!
