BookOS 0.7.0

# BookOS 0.7.0: own desktop and signed packages

News

- ** Standard BookOS Desktop.** The dashboard, dock, launchpad, lock screen, and touchpad gestures are now drawn by the BookOS desktop. Plasma is no longer included, so the system is lighter and starts without a loading screen. - ** No questions asked updates.** All packages are signed, and the BookOS key comes inside the ISO. `dnf` silently checks each package and only warns if something doesn't add up. - **ISO signed.** Each image includes its minisign signature, so you can check that it is the official one.

Changes

- Outside the widgets, the global theme and the layout of the Plasma panel, because they are replaced by the new desktop. - BookOS Settings enables and disables the BookOS repository without downloading server settings. - The serial number of the equipment is no longer readable by any user.

known

- Computers that update from 0.6.x keep the old Plasma configuration in their personal folder. Does not affect the new desktop.
