Hello,
I noticed this yesterday while doing manual flatpak update on openSUSE TW:

Hello,

Same for me. It would be nice to have an update at some point.

Cheers!

Hello.
I'm currently working on porting Sequeler to GTK4, as well as updating all dependencies to the latest releases, and fixing a bunch of bugs along the way.
It's a massive rework, so apologies for the delay, but at this time I don't have a timeline for it.

I'd like to know how one could help. Is there a branch where this is being recorded at or a meta-issue?

[Alecaddd]

I created a specific project: https://github.com/Alecaddd/sequeler/projects/2
And I'm currently working on this branch: https://github.com/Alecaddd/sequeler/tree/gtk4_port

Once the basic build system is up and running, I'll start reworking the entire source code.
You're more than welcome to build it from source and help out, but I'd say right now it's a bit early since I literally have to recreate almost everything from scratch.

I'm gonna use this occasion to also restructure the architecture of Sequeler since some paradigms are very wrong and some underlying issues can be solved with a better code base.

Awesome! I know it's not easy being a product manager, tech lead and IC all for one project—especially such a useful one. I'll keep an eye out for something hinting towards GTK4 dev environment landing in master

Should be fixed by https://github.com/Alecaddd/sequeler/

It wasn't for me. https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.alecaddd.sequeler also shows the Odin release as potentially unsafe and with legacy windowing system. Installing it with flatpak via the terminal gives me the following error messages:
