Oolite is now on FlatHub:

https://flathub.org/apps/space.oolite.Oolite

I was able to install and run it from Kubuntu's Discover.

1.92.1 has now been released on FlatHub: https://flathub.org/apps/space.oolite.Oolite. You should be able to see in the "Changes in version 1.92.1" section:

This stable release fixes these bugs:
  • Centre main window after showing splash.
  • Smooth resizing of game window.
  • Fix for crash when no network.

There is one more fix:
- Fix for save game not loading if passed as command line argument when said argument is not the last in args list.
And two non-fix changes
- Security improvement: expansions list now downloading via https and
- Full version and build type identification now shown in --help output.
