vym (3.0.0+git20260819-1) unstable; urgency=medium Download features, which include some telemetry and release notes downloads, are no longer disabled by default. New users will see a pop-up asking for permission on the first start of vym. The vym developer kindly asked me to allow this user opt-in for telemetry. Past Debian packages contained a source code modification which outright disabled all functionality connecting back to the developers site. Existing users can check the local configuration in ~/.config/InSilmaril/vym.conf for the section and flag [downloads] enabled=true|false to figure out the current setting before starting vym. If you want to toggle this setting in the UI use "Settings" -> "Check for release notes and upates". Release notes are also available locally in /usr/share/doc/vym/release-notes-3.0.md.gz Disabled and removed from the menu is the option to check for version updates. This feature would not be helpful for software shipped in a Debian stable release. -- Sven Hoexter Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:58:01 +0200
