Major changes in 0.8.6
======================

 * TMPDIR is now unset in the sandbox, if set on the
   host. Each sandbox has a personal /tmp that is used.
 * Flatpak run now works if /tmp is a symlink on the
   host.
 * /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.conf from the host are now exposed
   in the sandbox in addition to /etc/resolv.conf.
 * flatpak now stores the app id in the X-Flatpak key when exporting a
   desktop file.
 * Exports are now whitelisted, and the only thing you can
   export are:
     desktop files, icons, dbus services
   This is somewhat different from the 0.9.x series, where als
   mime definitions, and gnome-shell search providers are allowed.
 * Fixed minor race condition in portal application identification.
 * Support WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment var.
 * dbus-portal: Fix handling of NameHasOwner
 * run: Allow regular files for --filesystem=xdg-config/path
 * run: Allow --filesystem=xdg-config/subdir:ro (previously
   it needed to be writable).
 * Support for updating to new gpg keys and url when using
   flatpak remote-modify --update-metadata. This is a manual
   operation in 0.8.x but is automatic in the 0.9.x series.
