Flatpak 0.8.x is the previous stable series, and I recommend everyone
that can to use the new 0.10.x stable series instead. However, if you
are unable to update, here is an update for the stable series which i
recommend everyone using 0.8 to update to.

Major changes in 0.8.8
======================

This is a minor security update, as well as an update to match
some sandbox behaviours that were added to the 0.10.0 release.

Changes:

 * Ensure fontconfig caches are per-sandbox
 * Some problematic env vars are no longer inherited from the host
 * The LD_LIBRARY_PATH order is now correct for extensions with
   different priorities.
 * Extensions are now mounted in the correct orders, even if they
   have different priorities, fixing steam.
 * Disable debug spew in the document portal fuse filesystem
 * Now works current version of ostree
