Major changes in 0.9.8
======================

Core:

 * Experimental support for peer2peer installation, enable with 
  --enable-p2p.
 * Add default language setting to flatpak config. Defaults to all 
   locales for system installs and the users locale for per-user 
   installs.
 * build-update-repo: Now always keeps the *two* latest deltas around 
   to avoid race conditions with outstanding downloads at the time or 
   running the update.
 * Support loading extra data from local lookaside cache.

Flatpak-builder:

 * Set terminal title to the currently building module
 * Added ability to specify http url for sources mirror with 
   --extra-sources-url.
 * --install-deps-from=REMOTE installs the dependencies needed for the
   manifest.
 * New option --delete-build-dirs to always delete build directories,
   even on a failed build.
 * New property "add-extension" makes it nicer to create extension 
   points.
