3.0.5

"AM" 3.0.5 RELEASED!

Changes:

• Now you can use the Arch User Repository (AUR) too to download standalone applications available in AppImage format or DEB, ZIP and TAR.BZ2/GZ/XZ packages;
• Also added a new template that merges the four ones available in the previous release for applications downloadable from github.com, in this way the number of available options of the am -t command are less.

Furter templates will be added soon to quickly increase the number of the available applications on this repository.

Up to this new release I have uploaded more than 1305 applications for the x86_64 architecture (of which around 1200 are AppImage packages).

3.0.4

"AM" 3.0.4 RELEASED!

This release has improved workflow when you want to create your own scripts for "AM" for applications hosted on github.com

Added interactive and smart support for creating your scripts from github.com (AppImage, deb, tar and zip packages).

USAGE:

am -t $PROGRAM

then select a number between 2 (AppImage), 3 (DEB), 4 (TAR) and 5 (ZIP).

This will ask you for:

• the name of the repository (eg "NAME/REPOSITORY");
• the category of your program (to be selected from a list);
• the url of the icon (to copy/paste when prompted).

The same kind of support will also be added to other templates, for new sub-releases: stay tuned!

3.0.3

"AM" 3.0.3 RELEASED!

Removed some templates and added a new (amazing) one to download and update ANY AppImage from GitHub!

USAGE: run the command am -t $PROGRAM, then select the template number 8.

Check the new template is available here.

This is the more complete script and the easier to compile, because of this other templates will be removed soon.

3.0.2

"AM" version 3.0.2 RELEASED!

Added a NEW template (the easier one) for AppImage.GitHub.io!

Now you can create and upload scripts for AppImages from the main AppImage package catalog!

3.0.1

This new minor update comes with a big improvement to the -q or query option which now supports more search terms!

"AM" 3.0.0 HAS BEEN RELEASED!

Added multiple argument support for the following options:

-i or install to install multiple programs (includes the new -a option at the end of the installation)

-o or overwrite to restore multiple programs (see the new -b option above)

-r or -remove to uninstall multiple programs (requires confirmation, default is "Y")

Among the various minor additions there is also a customized version of pkg2appimage of only 4 MB, useful for speeding up the process of compiling new AppImages from .deb packages, also improved the wiki, added new templates and many other small things... including new programs and AppImages like the full KDE Games suite, Abiword, Gnumeric and much more...

2.7.0

Added a dependency check at the beginning of the main script to prevent installation errors (Issue #6 ).

A message will warn you of the lack of this dependence.
