cool stuff. It will remove all this dependencies needs. Once several peaple confirmed, we should link directly from our downloadpage
Yes, more testing is required.
Why should that be compiled using old OS image? I thought using bleeding edge build system you get all the cool features and library improvements only.
It's the difference between the (bleeding-edge) app and its immediate depenencies (which indeed you might want to be bleeding-edge; in which case they should be bundled inside the AppImage) vs. the "stable OS" which contains basic platform infrastructure such as glibc, GTK+, etc. These are generally assumed to be part of the OS and should not be bundled with each app.
There might be some special cases in which it can make sense to bundle an entire GTK+ stack inside an AppImage, and it has been done before: https://blogs.gnome.org/tvb/2013/12/10/application-bundles-for-glade/
Hope this clarifies it.
