3.4

Scripts

• AppImages are now Type3, so you don't need to have libfuse2 installed on the host
• first experimental implementation of "libselinux", if in "$DEPENDENCES" it will be bundled into AppImage and system libraries from the host can be viewed without conflicts (this is a first step towards implementing hardware acceleration)
• various cleanings of the code
• use "BASH" instead of "SH"

CLI

• Just changed the version number

Full Changelog: 3.3...3.4

3.3

Scripts

• Now you can repeat your tests several times without having to download and reinstall everything all over again
• Various bug fixes

CLI

• Just changed the version number

3.2

CLI

Not big changes, just moved "include dependencies" to the top options.

SCRIPTS

• Unsilenced messages, now you can debug without extracting the package;
• Automatic mounting of "/etc/resolv.conf" for internet connections, single point in "/etc", removing any JuNest related error messages and giving the internal BASH/SHELL full control of the container.

This release aims to broaden user search by enabling debugging by default.

Future releases will see an attempt to implement hardware acceleration, which is still absent in JuNest. If you want to help me, visit fsquillace/junest#344

3.1

Finish with a standard setup or continue customizing!

From now on you can choose whether to easily create the script by pressing "enter" 4 times on the keyboard (optional) or continue to customize it (default, classic), thanks to a standard selection of enabled defaults (based on my experience), including:

• Installation of binutils, gzip and basedevel (used to build from AUR, packages will not be bundled in the Appimage);
• AUR enabled;
• Install ca-certificates and check for internet / audio related libraries;
• Scan only libraries needed by the app and its dependences;
• Also bundle the dependences with the app in the Appimage package;
• The file "/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so" will NOT be included if not needed.

All you have to do is choose the package name, specify the binary name if it is different from the package name, add (optional) dependencies and choose whether to end up with the aforementioned defaults (press "Y") or continue customizing as normal (RECOMMENDED choice, press "N" or leave blank).
