AppMan 10.4.1 addresses a critical data-loss issue from the previous release that caused the reinstall command to erase .home and .config directories for portable AppImages. The update includes a backup-and-restore mechanism that safeguards user data by copying it to a temporary location before the app directory is wiped and then restoring it afterward. Additionally, the update introduces three new community-contributed packages: PanConvert, boris, and t3-code. The quick turnaround for this fix demonstrates the project's active community involvement, ensuring its continued maintenance despite the primary maintainer's limited availability

AppMan 10.4.1 resolves a critical data-loss regression introduced in the 10.4 release, where the reinstall command failed to preserve .home and .config directories for portable AppImages. The fix extends the backup-and-restore logic from the relocate option to reinstall, copying portable data to a temporary location before wiping the app directory to ensure a safety net for users. Alongside the hotfix, the update adds three new packages contributed by the community: PanConvert for document conversion, boris for behavioral observation, and t3-code for AI-assisted coding.
