Our Flatpak package, published via Flathub, has been updated to a new app ID space.gaiasky.GaiaSky. This has been done to match the domain of our new website gaiasky.space. Additionally, this has enabled us to verify the application, which was impossible with the old de.uni_heidelberg.zah.GaiaSky ID, as we did not control that domain.

Essentially, I needed to contact the uni-heidelberg.de domain owner and ask them to add their domain to a PSL (public suffix list). They were initially cooperative, but after a few department redirections my requests must have fallen down the bureaucracy cracks, for they stopped being responsive. If you want the full story, check out this issue, and this one.

Anyway, creating a proper website for Gaia Sky was already on the to-do list. In fact, the initial commit to the project was made a long time ago. Almost exactly 4 years ago, to be precise.
