App Runner 0.4 now out

May 24, 2009

New version of App Runner out: 0.4

New in this version:

  • App Runner now automatically expires the root session before running any program (more secure)
  • New option: “Run GUI App as root” — because running GUI apps with “sudo” can cause problems (but only on rare cases)
  • The terminal window now has a title: “App Runner” (both in gnome-terminal and xterm)
  • App Runner now gives a warning message when no arguments are provided (instead of just failing)
  • Automatically uses xmessage if zenity is not detected
