"textContent": "> **End-of-life runtime transition:** To focus our resources on maintaining high-quality, up-to-date runtimes, we’ll be completing the removal of several end-of-life runtimes in **January 2026**. Apps using runtimes older than freedesktop-sdk 22.08, GNOME 45, KDE 5.15-22.08, or KDE 6.6 will be marked as EOL shortly.\n\ndocs.flathub.org – 24 Oct 25\n\n### Enhanced License Compliance Tools for Flathub | Flathub Documentation\n\ntl;dr: Flathub has improved tooling to make license compliance easier for developers. Distros should rebuild OS images with updated runtimes from Flathub; app developers should ensure they're using up-to-date runtimes and verify that licenses and...\n\n@cassidyjames I’ll mark 32 apps that are already informed about the situation as EOL at the end of February.\n\nThere are 60 games that use EOL runtimes, which I believe contain low risk, and they are on the exception list (meaning I don’t take any action against them).\n\nThere are also 73 apps that I will try to update to a supported runtime version or warn about EOL. My goal is to start on March 1 and inform the developer about EOL, giving them one month of grace period.\n\nSince I’m just a volunteer, none of them are official dates or actions.",
