The release adds stale-source detection that compares each ingested source against its original file and re-extracts changed versions on Update, re-ingest and remove options that keep pages still supported by other sources, and a new stale_sources MCP tool available on PyPI via uvx gknowledge-mcp so Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can check the wiki for drift.", "body_md": "# gknowledge 0.3: a Flatpak for every distro, and pages that know their source changed #72\n\n[francescobianco](https://github.com/francescobianco)started this conversation in\n\n[Open Source AI](https://github.com/orgs/openapi/discussions/categories/open-source-ai)\n\n**[gknowledge](https://github.com/openapi/gknowledge) 0.3 is out.** Six days after [0.2](https://github.com/orgs/openapi/discussions/71), the native GNOME app that turns your documents into an LLM-maintained wiki now installs on **any Linux distribution**, and it knows when a page is out of date.\n\n## What's new in 0.3.0\n\n- **Flatpak for every distro.** Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, Ubuntu: one command, GNOME 51 runtime, no access to your home folder (files are opened through portals), PDF import included.\n- **Pages that know their source changed.** Wiki pages rarely go wrong because the model hallucinates; they go stale because the document they came from changed. gknowledge now compares every ingested source with its original file, marks the ones that changed, and**Update** re-extracts the new version.
