The first bug fixing update of the new release (3.52.1) is out and hit the beta channel of #Flathub
If you're using Evolution from the beta channel and experiencing any problems, please let us know before we push it to the rest of the users next week.
The web team identified several issues exposed by launching the new design to so many interested visitors. :) They fixed the issues, re-launched the new design, and have been monitoring things over the past several hours. It looks like we’re good!
I really need to automate this somehow, but my latest estimate is 3.13 million active users of Flathub!
This is a number of updates delivered to a popular dependency, org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//23.08, between the 23.08.14 and 23.08.15 releases. This was less than a month window (March 18 through April 9).
Pretty impressive stuff!
Edit: updated, more realistic stats based on @alatiera; thanks!

This has been almost a year in the making, including tons of work on documentation, backend, frontend, and the actual metadata in apps. Special thanks to @razze and @tbernard!
Quick #flathub/#flatpak question regarding AppStream Metadata - what's the correct way to handle screenshots for apps that are inherently multi-window like Multiplex? In the long run I want to embed MPV, but that will be a while out still. I've tried to improve the old screenshots by green-screening the background and using the GNOME shadows, but I still can't pass the "resonable window size", "just the app window" etc. requirements ...
You may have noticed something different when you share links to apps on Flathub 👀
Every app now gets a dynamically generated “meta image” for sharing on social media, in messaging apps, etc. Give it a try the next time you share a link to your favorite app!
And as an appropriate demo, check out this app that lets you preview how a link will show up on social media before you actually share it:
Developers, to get more control over how your app shows up when shared on social media and ensure it looks its best, be sure to follow the MetaInfo Quality Guidelines!
These guidelines are designed specifically to help ensure your app can be shown in its best light across Flathub and native app stores, whether when featured on the upcoming homepage redesign or in social posts like this.
