The Bash script `build_flatpak.sh` in the `flatpak/` directory generates all pip dependencies, then builds and installs the app locally. - `requirements-parser` has to be installed from pip to finish installing the flatpak (maybe more pypi packages..) --- ## 0.5.0 - Removed all leftover of tui code that was hiding in some classes. --- ## 0.4.0 - Fixed a critical issue that prevented the program from functioning. - Updated compatibility to align with the **upcoming** optima35 **release**. **Removal of TUI:** - The TUI version is no longer compatible with optima35 v1.0. - Maintaining two UIs has become too time-consuming, as the primary focus is on the GUI, which provides the best user experience.
