[AppStream] AppStream 0.12.3 released!

[Matthias Klumpp]

Hello!
Another - mostly bugfix - AppStream release, with one behavior change:
Please note that when constructing an AsPool instance, we now do not
consider .desktop files without metainfo data anymore. This should
improve the overall data quality displayed in software centers.
You can switch back to the previous behavior, if you want to.

The impact of this change should be minimal, however some software
might need fixes. Google Chrome for example contains a broken metainfo
file (no valid XML...) in the wrong location.

Tarballs available here:

Cheers,
    Matthias

Version 0.12.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2018-10-22

Notes:
 * Beginning with this release, data from local .desktop files will
not be loaded into
   the pool automatically, unless a metainfo file also exists.
   This should ensure less duplicated components in general
higher-quality data to be
   displayed. It also provides another incentive to add/fix metainfo files.
   If you prefer the previous behavior, set the
AS_POOL_FLAG_READ_DESKTOP_FILES flag
   on your AsPool instance.
