I expect this to be the last release before 0.10, which will only have
bugfixes.

Major changes in 0.9.99
=======================

 * Requires ostree 2017.12 for important pull stability fix
 * New libflatpak API: flatpak_dir_cleanup_undeployed_refs, flatpak_installation_prune_local_repo,
    flatpak_installation_remove_local_ref_sync, flatpak_installation_cleanup_local_refs_sync
 * build: FLATPAK_ID and FLATPAK_ARCH are now set in the environment when building
 * update: Don't fail the entire update if some remote fails to update its metadata
 * run: /.flatpak-info now lists exact commits and extensions in use
 * run: We now use a per-app ld.so.cache file whenn running. This should speed things up,
   and allows ldconfig to report the correct results.
 * The verbose mode was changed into two levels, use -vv to show the more detailed info, which
   currently only contains the full bubblewrap argument lists.
 * run: Some common problematic host environment variables are now unset in the sandbox
   (PYTHONPATH, PERLLIB, PERL5LIB and XCURSOR_PATH)
 * run: Fixed failure when a higher prio extensions depended on a lower prio one.
 * run: The extension ld path order is now: app extensions, app, runtime extension, runtime.
   This was previously incorrect in that the app could override app extensions.
 * Extensions are now not downloaded if a matching unmaintained extension is already installed
 * Preemptive changes to handle new bubblewrap change which doesn't user /newroot
 * document portal: Disable debug spew that was accidentally enabled
 * build-finish: New --extension-priority option
 * run: Fix regression in --persist in 0.9.98
 * run: Use sealed memfds (instead of just temporary files) when passing data to bubblewrap
