Preen 0.5.0 — an AppImages manager, drag-and-drop installs, a round of selection fixes, the dark GTK 3 refresh, and complete release plumbing.

New in 0.5.0

  • AppImages page: scans your Downloads folder for .AppImage files, installs them with a menu entry and launcher icon at user scope, and lists already-installed AppImages. Installing an AppImage that is already installed replaces it — that is the update path. Uninstalling only deletes the copy Preen made.
  • Drag-and-drop: drop .AppImage files anywhere on the window to install them, or a .deb to install it with one polkit prompt.
  • Selection fixes: Manage Apps gained Select all / Clear; clicking anywhere on an Install, Manage or Deep Clean row toggles it; Select all and Clear both respect the active search.
  • Dark GTK 3 refresh of all ten pages, Preen-only appearance, bundled icons, and honest package/cleanup states.
  • Release plumbing: version-matched release builder with checksums, staged package documentation, privacy policy and security guidance.
  • packaging/install_appimage.sh / uninstall_appimage.sh install Preen itself with desktop integration (make install-appimage / make uninstall-appimage).
