AM 10.5 has been released, featuring a new pla-install:// protocol that enables one-click installation of Linux applications directly from the web catalog, now encompassing 3,439 unique apps. The update includes a selective reinstall feature that allows users to target specific applications, enhancing the existing functionality of the Bash-based package manager for AppImages. Improvements have also been made for automation and non-interactive updates, along with visual enhancements to the catalog site and expanded language support. Despite being a community-driven project, AM's extensive database rivals some Linux distribution repositories, and its anti-abandonment design ensures ongoing accessibility and flexibility for users

AM 10.5 Adds One-Click Web Install and Selective Reinstall for 3,439 Linux Apps

AM version 10.5 is now available, introducing a pla-install:// protocol that allows users to click an "Install" button on the web catalog and launch the AppImage manager directly from their desktop. Lead developer Ivan Alessandro Sala has expanded the database to 3,439 unique applications and added a selective reinstall feature that targets specific apps without affecting the rest of the system. The update also improves non-interactive automation, refreshes MIME database handling, and integrates seamlessly with the AM-GUI and AppGallery frontends. While the project remains a community effort, the new web-to-desktop bridge and configurable data sources provide a more durable foundation for portable Linux software.
