v7.6.0

7.6.0 - 2023-01-18

Changed

• --install|--update|--update-master: Up to version 7.5.0
  x11docker installed itself with prefix /usr,
  now it uses /usr/local. This serves to follow the
  Linux Foundation specifications of /usr/local.
  To help with the transition, a new option --remove-oldprefix
  was introduced.
  An update from previous versions must be done twice to take effect.
  Recommended procedure:
  • First run: x11docker --update
  • Again run: x11docker --update
  • Afterwards run: x11docker --remove-oldprefix

Added

• --remove-oldprefix: Remove installation in old prefix /usr.
