[AppStream] AppStream Generator 0.6.1 released!

[Matthias Klumpp]

Hi!
Another AppStream Generator release, now with support for fonts.
Fonts require a metainfo files to be processed, see
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Metadata-Fonts.html
on how to write one for your packages.

This release also contains dedicated support for Ubuntu and their
language-packs.

If you can, you should compile asgen with the LDC D compiler and the
Meson build system. Both bring several advantages, and especially GDC
had quite a few bugs in the past which affected asgen.

As always, tarballs can be found here:

Cheers,
    Matthias
