This is the release notes for Cristal.

The main point of this release is the improved support for GitHub as a backend for Cristal. Additionally, we introduce a new flatpak packaging for Linux users of the desktop version of Cristal.

New and Noteworthy (since Cristal 0.14)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 0.15.

For Users

• Flatpack is now available: Following the recent issues preventing Electron application to start on Ubuntu 24.04+ with the default configuration, we are now providing a flatpak packaging.

  This is the advised packaging for Ubuntu users.

  Warning

  We are not currently distributing Cristal on flatpak stores.

• GitHub backend with authentication: It is now possible to use GitHub as a backend, and store content in a GitHub repository. In order to have authentication support, please refer to the GitHub backend documentation to find the complete setup process.

• Bundle size improvement: We made improvements to the way extensions are loaded. Consequently, only the pieces of code required by the current configuration are loaded in the browser. See below a table comparing the network usage before and after the improvement.

  Design System	0.14 (KiB)	0.15 (KiB)	Improvement (%)
  Vuetify	1435	687	47.8
  Shoelace	1154	647	56.0
