linscp 0.7.2 — signed releases and a permanent name

linscp 0.7.2 is out. It gives linscp its permanent name on the Linux desktop, signs every release, and prepares linscp for more systems’ package managers.

What’s new

• A permanent application ID, org.linscp.linscp. The desktop entry, the icons and the Flatpak use it, and on Wayland the window now matches its launcher and icon. What an older version registered is renamed or cleaned up on first start.
• Signed releases. The source tarball and the checksums are signed with linscp’s release key, so you can check that a download is genuine — the security page shows how.
• FTP downloads on Linux name the file when asking whether to overwrite it, and create the target folders first.
• Secure connections follow your system’s crypto policy on distributions that have one, such as Fedora.
• A smaller AppImage, with only what linscp needs.
• The Flatpak updates through Flathub, and hides the power options the sandbox cannot use.
• Manual pages: man linscp and man linscp-cli.

Coming next

Packages for Arch (AUR), Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Nix and the Windows package managers are ready and will appear as each channel opens.
