UI Changes

• Upgrade selected and Refresh buttons now have text labels and new colors
• Updates warning icon removed
• Progress bar height reduced
• Packaging type checkbox filters replaced by a combo box (single select)
• Search bar resized

Fixes:

• flatpak: cached app current version
• flatpak: update notification for runtimes with the same name
• disk loader not filling all requested cached data from the disk
• Ubuntu root password check
• [Ubuntu 19.04 pip3 install issue] (https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/3)

Code

• Code was internally modularized as: api (conceptual classes used to create custom software managers), gems (software managers), commons (common classes shared between the view and gems), view (UI code)
• api allows custom operations, so the gems can provide actions that the current GUI does not support (Snap "refresh" was refactored as a custom operation)

Comments

• the application settings are stored in /home/$USER/.config/bauh/config.json
