v3.4.2

Highlight

This release introduces a fix to avoid potential false positive when listing Flatpak unused packages.

It also removes the AlwaysShowNews option from the arch-update.conf configuration. Indeed, it's fair to say that this option probably isn't used nor desired by anyone as its behavior most likely leads to undesired annoyances.

As a side note, I'd like to take this new release as an occasion to once again sincerely thank everyone supporting Arch-Update in any way!
So huge thanks to Arch-Update users, everyone that gave it a star on GitHub, opened issues, feature requests, pull requests or contributed to this project in any other way! ❤️
