summary

gnome-software switches to a binary cache parser (leap cached parser) that cuts memory use by about 100 MB and speeds lookups, integrates flatpak client-side operations so runtimes and extensions update correctly, adds flatpak permissions UI that blocks updates introducing new permissions, enables background automatic flatpak updates with a split refresh/download workflow and explicit progress bars, and adds a source selection dropdown for choosing RPM vs Flatpak; Fedora 29/30 users should test rawhide and report regressions.
