Hi!
I just released another version of AppStream - this one brings a few
smaller new compose features, and otherwise mostly fixes a few bugs,
most of them also being compose-related.
More "exciting" things are likely happening with the release after
this one... ;-)
If you are testing the new C++ version of appstream-generator, you
will also need at least this version (1.0.6) of AppStream itself.

Tarballs available here:
