Sandbox package management Flatpak 1.5 Released

Flatpak reaches version 1.5 and has numerous improvements including Version Pinning, Self-Updates In Portals.

Before flatpak and other sandboxing systems, every Linux distribution had its own installation manager and updating software was a nightmare unless every related library was updated by the distro and the whole system was updated. Flatpak solves this problem by packing as many dependencies in a single package thus updating software is easy as it does not rely on distros dependency.

The latest release is on github.
