Hi!
This release of AppStream Generator requires the very latest AppStream
release (0.12.5). In order to make packaging easier and because
upstream appears to be dead, the mustache-d dependency has been
embedded and its code has been slightly improved.
Additionally, maintainers of the generator can now inject random
metainfo files and mark components for removal in the data pool. I
expect this feature to be mainly used for the latter. Please use this
functionality responsibly! This will be expanded on in future release,
and I am also planning to add a few safeguards to prevent people from
misusing this feature.
Refer to the documentation pages for information on how to use this.

Cheers,
    Matthias
