Hi, and welcome to this week’s weekly summary. This week’s recap is the third overall and the third for October 2019.

MauiKit Development

• Fixed the issue of Index AppImage, not listing files and folders. It was due to KIO I/O slave plugins not being included in the AppImage.
• We are working on automating the Maui AppImage generation.

ZNX

• Implemented the confirmation feature for potentially dangerous operations in znx.
• znx passes another kernel parameter: znx_dev_uuid, which corresponds to the partition holding the image. This parameter enhances the reliability of the boot process.

Infrastructure

• Added a repository to use as a bug and feature request tracker for MauiKit and Maui Applications.

Nitrux/maui-bug-tracker

• We have updated our ISO files to include the version of sudo not affected by (CVE-2019–14287).
• We have created a Bountysource App Request as a means of users request applications that are not available as an AppImage and as a mean of funding Nitrux.

• Improve our tooling for generating AppImages like copier and aw (AppImage wrapper).

Website

• Setup stable ISO delivery to use HTTP instead of Torrent for ease of use.
