Here’s a quick summary of the improvements which gnome-software 50 contains:

- Improved error reporting in the repositories dialogue
- Improved notifications for trivial flatpak app updates
- Lots of UI papercuts fixed
- Improved question about deleting data when uninstalling an app
- More safety reporting for uncommon flatpak app permissions
This (last) week I made some enquiries with my council about dark skies in planning policy.
