The "AM" 9.4.4 release introduces two new functionalities: the option to hide, which prevents the CLI from seeing, listing, updating, and managing selected applications, and the unhide option to reverse the hide action. This is beneficial for users managing multiple fixed version applications and controlling updates. The command "am hide $APP1 $APP2 $APP3" renames the remove script to remove.old, thereby designating the app as a "system" or "independent" application. Users have the option to manually update or uninstall the application. The update enhances test random, eliminates workarounds in nolibfuses, and incorporates version 1.4.0 of gittyup.
