Scribus 1.7.0 Flatpak

Hi all,

I made a Scribus 1.7.0 devel flatpak version*.
Currently, it was a first test to get familiar with flatpak, flatpak-builder and the whole process.

You can download the flatpak file here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XzOHcQyW-GHjv26mqjWSZR0-xkzKY3oc

Install with:
flatpak install scribus_170_devel.flatpak

If you want to build the flatpak by yourself, you can check out the repo:
https://codeberg.org/Scribus/scribus-flatpak-devel


Have in mind, deploying a flatpak like this is not recommended. This flathub doesn't support nightly build we have to host our own infrastructure. Currently, I'm playing around with some CI systems to build nightly test versions, but it still requires some platform to deploy the flatpak. Right now, I did a manual build and just upload it to Google Drive.

DISCLAIMER
*) It is not the svn version. It based on the code hosted on https://codeberg.org/Scribus/scribus
In other words: It contains experimental features that are not reviewed and accepted by the core devs.

It has an issue that seems like a garbage collection is happening. It hangs periodically for a bit, then continues. a few other oddities as well i need to sit down and use it and get back to you about it. Is there a list of new features for 1.7 somewhere that i can reference?

Did you use the version from Google Drive or did you build the Flatpak yourself?

Can you also check whether the problems also occur with this Flatpak version?
