Thanks to muelli we also have 1.27 to the beta branch on flathub now:

$ flatpak remote-add --user flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak install --user flathub-beta chat.delta.desktop
$ flatpak run --branch=beta chat.delta.desktop

Edit: ok sth doesn’t work yet, I get a crash on startup: V1.27.0 by muelli · Pull Request #79 · flathub/chat.delta.desktop · GitHub
Update: tracking pr: WIP: next deltachat version by Simon-Laux · Pull Request #81 · flathub/chat.delta.desktop · GitHub
Update: x86_64 arch works now (atleast locally for me)
Update: the steps above works now

Once it works and you can test it, please test all file operations specifically, because we added some more sandboxing:

  • import backup
  • export backup
  • save attachment to disk
  • send attachment
  • open html email in browser
  • and so on…
