Loki Security Updates for January, 2018

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.

Although Loki is now officially in maintenance mode, we’re still pushing out security and stability updates to Loki users and tying up loose ends as we focus in on Juno development.

AppCenter

This release fixes an issue that caused release descriptions to overlap buttons in the updates view in some cases. We’ve made the way card information is sent to be processed even more secure. It also adds support for back and forward navigation buttons on certain mice. AppCenter now remembers which apps you’ve purchased and won’t ask you to pay again if you uninstall an app and then later re-install it. This information is all saved locally and isn’t sent to any server at this time. Last but not least, thanks to Jeremy Soller at System76, AppCenter now shows details about what packages make up the Operating System Updates item.
