An alpha version of "AM" Application Manager 8, a database and solution for all AppImages and portable apps for GNU/Linux, has been released for testing.
"AM" 8 alpha1
There are some changes in progress that will bring "AM" to a much more versatile use in terms of permissions:
- processes will happen in ~/.cache/am instead of /opt/am/.cache
- lists will be saved and consulted in ~/.local/share/AM, a directory that will be common to both "AM" and "AppMan"
- BASH/ZSH completion will be enabled by default, and managed via the ~/.bash_completion file (for BASH), in a completely "rootless" way, and in order to extend the arguments to be used dynamically
To test the changes, you can run the following command
am --devmode-enablein order to start the tests that will release "AM" 8.
