A new version of the "AM" AppImage manager has been released and introduces several improvements, including the ability to permanently remove notifications, control scripts requiring root privileges, and support for Fedora Atomic. It also introduces a transition where many standalone portable apps have their repository for conversion to AppImage packages, allowing isolation, sandboxing, and delta updates. This transition is supported by communities like portable-linux-apps. Additionally, "AM" has started rehosting old, unmaintained AppImages on GitHub repositories. However, many upstream developers have abandoned the AppImage format or removed historical builds to prevent users from using legacy versions of their apps. This lack of information has led many developers to move their work to more reputable platforms like Flatpak and Snap, which guarantee centralization. "AM" serves as a starting point for supporting portable packages and offers a centralized solution for all portable apps and AppImages.
