This release fixes a few issues and regressions that showed up in 2.2, adds the new -a option to let you act as any user, supports Jammy Jellyfish in the packaging, and most importantly, comes with an ARM64 build.

(Said ARM64 build is currently packaged for Debian only, because I can only figure out so many multi-arch packaging processes at once. Anyone who wants to contribute mods to the Arch or Fedora packaging to build ARM64 packages for them, too, will be greatly appreciated.)

Changelog:

  • Paths-containing-spaces fix (#240).
  • Makefile updates for CI build.
  • Fixed WSL 1 detection.
  • Added -a/--as-user option to allow shell/command as any user.
  • Added support for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish).
  • Greater robustness against misconfigured hosts files (fixes #247).
  • arm64 support.
  • Miscellaneous fixes.

As with 2.1 and 2.2, if you feel inclined to contribute to genie development right now, I hope you'll consider contributing to Ukraine instead.
