Note: This release requires OSTree 2016.14
Major changes in 0.6.14
=======================
* Update bundled bubblewrap to 0.1.4 which has some nice bugfixes.
If you are using an external bubblewrap it is recommended, but
not required to update.
* Requires OSTree 2016.14, which allows us to drop some old
workarounds.
* When installing an application system-wide, don't consider
dependencies that are installed for the user only.
* Flatpak install --from now tries to re-use existing remotes to
avoid creating unnecessary origin remotes.
* Using --filesystem=$dir when $dir is a symlink-to-directory now works.
* Using --filesystem=$file to expose unix sockets to the app is now
allowed.
* By default all the directories in ~/.var/app (except the app), as
well as ~/.local/share/flatpak are hidden in the sandbox.
* New option --filesystem=$dir:create which will create the destination
if it did not previously exist.
* --filesystem= now supports for xdg-[config|cache|data]. This
allows you access to the host versions of these xdg dirs. Additionally
if you use these with a subdirectory, like:
--filesystem=xdg-config/subdir
then that subdirectory on the host will be shared with the per-app
instance of the xdg-dir.
* Builder now correctly handles app-ids that have dashes in them.
Previously this generated invalid ids for the debuginfo and locale
extensions.
* The experimental OCI file format support was changed from creating an
OCI container to creating an OCI image.
* Fix regression where "flatpak update --appstream remotename" broke
