CODE 24.04.7.1
Released 30 August 2024
Features
- Feature: We split the .deb and .rpm packages and put the support for the “non-namespace” versions of our helpers into a “deprecated” subpackage. We think Linux Namespaces are sufficiently widely available and enabled by default on contemporary Linux OSes that we can rely on them existing, but if your system doesn’t support them then you can install the “deprecated” package if you need to retain support for installation on a system without Linux Namespace availability. If namespace support is not available Collabora Online will log a suggestion to install the coolwsd-deprecated packages (cool #9771)
- Feature: Optimization to not block and wait when looking up dns data (cool #9786)
