Kompas 0.1.0 — first release

The first Kompas release in which installing, updating and removing software works.

Important fix. In the earlier previews (preview 1 to 3), installing, updating
and removing software from inside Kompas never started: the task stayed at 0%
without an error. This release fixes that. If you used a preview, update to this
package. System-package updates were confirmed on a real Zorin system.

Also since preview 2:

  • No stray empty "winit window" in the taskbar.
  • The package list from PackageKit is cached on disk, so the catalog is ready within
    a second after the first start instead of several seconds later.
  • Zorin's extra software catalog loads even though its header repeats a key.
  • Transactions subscribe to PackageKit's signals before starting, so a fast failure
    is shown as an error instead of a task that never finishes.
  • Flathub statistics download with timeouts; caches moved to ~/.cache/kompas
    (the old ~/.cache/cosmic-store can be deleted).

Download kompas-amd64.deb and SHA256SUMS. In that directory:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
sudo apt install ./kompas-amd64.deb
kompas

The package replaces any earlier preview or cosmic-store. Quit Kompas before opening
the new version. Tested by CI: formatting, clippy, workspace tests, package replacement,
metadata, X11 browsing and window shutdown. The package is still a stripped debug build
for Zorin 18 / Ubuntu 24.04, Intel/AMD 64-bit; release optimization is planned.

Known limits: no signed APT channel for Kompas itself yet; no integrated Epic/GOG
catalog or user review system. Native Linux flags do not guarantee hardware,
Proton or anti-cheat compatibility.
