Major changes in 0.9.3
======================
 Changes in flatpak-builder:

 * "rename-icon" renames in translated icons too
 * Moved manifest format docs to own manpage, "flatpak-manifest".
 * "bootstrap.sh" is now recognized as an autogen.sh alternative
 * Fall back to not using rofiles-fuse if it is not available.
 * Make sure flatpak-builder --run grants the app access to dbus.
 * Make paths paths for module includes and module dependencies
   relative to the included module rather than the "base" json file.
 * When cross-compiling 32bit apps on 64bit arches (like i386 on x86-64)
   then we automatically set a linux32 personallity.
 * Print warnings for unhandled json properties.
 * Make sure flatpak-builder --run works if --extra-data is in the
   finish args.
 * Take build-commands into consideration when considering if the
   build cache is stale.
 * Support for --extra-sources= to pre-seed downloaded sources.
 * Support for --bundle-sources which creates a runtime with the sources
   that were used to build the app.
 * Handle trailing whitespace in git submodule uris
 * Progress reporting while downloading files.

 Other changes:
 * build-export now always exports directories as readable and executable.
 * build-update-repo --generate-static-deltas now fork the work process
   rather than using threads, which avoids problems with this using
   a lot of memory in a single process in some cases.
 * Report flatpak version in HTTP request user agent.
 * New "flatpak repo" command added that has some options for maintaining
   a repository.
 * flatpak info can now report more information and handles multiple
   installed branches better.
 * Support non-default WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment var.
 * Handle application ids that end with .desktop when generating
   appstream data.
 * Documentation updates
