Version 9.9.4 of AM/AppMan introduces a bi-weekly scan of GitHub repositories to tag archived or neglected apps, enhancing the identification of potentially vulnerable software. The catalog now includes 2,842 entries, adding 63 new programs, although many are niche tools that may not be widely used. Changes to the downgrade commands and template options improve usability by hiding snapshot releases by default and preventing name collisions during entry creation. Overall, the update focuses on maintenance, reducing wasted install attempts and noisy rollback outputs for more efficient automated AppImage management

How AM 9.9.4 Helps Spot Stale AppImages and Tame Rollback Lists

Version 9.9.4 of AM/AppMan adds a bi‑weekly scan of GitHub repositories, automatically tagging those that are archived or haven’t released in over a year and listing them as potentially vulnerable. The catalog grows by 63 entries to a total of 2 842 programs, though most additions are obscure utilities that many users won’t need. Downgrade commands now hide snapshot releases by default, while the -t template option warns about name collisions before creating new entries. In real use the changes prevent wasted install attempts on dead repositories and cut down noisy rollback output, making automated AppImage management a bit smoother.
