Flatseal creator Martín Abente Lahaye announced today the release of Flatseal 1.8 as the latest stable release of this open-source application that lets you manage permissions of Flatpak apps on your GNU/Linux distribution.

Flatseal 1.8 is here to introduce the ability for users to review and modify global overrides. Flatseal is now aware of these global overrides, takes into account all sources of permissions changes and displays them to the user when you look at an application's permissions. In addition, Flatseal now highlights every permission changed by the user or globally.

Other noteworthy changes included in Flatseal 1.8 are the ability to handle the creation of the "overrides" directory for those who want to install Flatseal through their distro's repositories rather than as a Flatpak app, support for the new system-level color schemes in the GNOME desktop, as well as streamlined shortcuts and documentation windows using a modal approach.
