Major changes in 0.8.3
======================

In addition to the regular list of bugfixes this stable release
include backports of the updated OpenGL support from master.  This,
in combination with the work in the runtime allows flatpak to work out
of the box with out-of-tree OpenGL drivers, including the nvidia
driver.

Additionally, due to some complicated issues wrt ptrace and user
namespaces this version disables the use of user namespaces if
bubblewrap is setuid, as it cause problems for the way flatpak
portals identifies applications. (See issue #557 for details)

 * Better handling of errors for extra-data
 * Handle extra-data properly for runtimes (as well as apps)
 * Respect required version for runtimes (as well as apps)
 * flatpak list: Don't break if some local ref is not deployed
 * builder: Look for appstream data in /app/share/metadata also
 * builder: Fix buildsystem=cmake builds
 * Add progress reporting to extra-data download
 * Fix uid/gid for directories in document portal
