The Apostrophe package was retired in the Fedora 41 cycle because it required custom patches to libspelling and gtksourceview5, and would crash when using system libraries. Those patches are now available in upstream libraries, so the crashes which caused the retirement should be solved.
This is good news!
I am planning on claiming the package and updating it to the latest stable version. If anyone objects to this, or has suggestions on also reviving the Fedora Flatpak for this package, please let me know.
I can help with the Fedora flatpak.
There will be a few known issues in the revived package: - The Mozilla Fira font family has been retired in the Fedora 43 cycle, so sometimes fonts will not be displayed correctly, as that specific font is hard-coded into the app.
There has been chatter that this will come back without the "mozilla-" name, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2312011
- Apostrophe uses custom colors that have not yet been updated to match changes made in the GNOME 48 cycle. - Apostrophe occasionally fetches resources from the web, which might not match users' expectations of privacy. Given that these issues are less serious than the previous crashes, I'm inclined to move forward while documenting them.
