    • Support for poetry will be removed at the end of August.

Added

• An option to skip updates in a Libreflow instance.
• When there is only one project assigned to the user, the autostart command-line argument will skip the launcher GUI and start the Libreflow instance instead.

Changed

• KABARET_FLOW_EXT_INSTALLERS environment variable is no longer used if there is no extensions assigned to a project.
• The launcher now uses the direct path for python. Especially for using the correct version selected in the settings.
• Poetry path is no longer used. Instead, it calls the Python module to ensure that the correct one is used according to the Python version.
• In the settings, the Python path parameter is now a list and you can add a custom path.
