Major changes in 0.9.9
======================

flatpak-builder was split out into its own module:
  https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder

 * When downloading to a temporary directory for later install to the
   system repo we now write to /var/tmp instead of $HOME. This is more
   likely to be the same filesystem as /var/lib/flatpak, and thus will
   not run into issues with e.g. filesystem full.
 * We now get the default language list from AccountService if possible.
 * A regression that made --devel crash was fixed.
 * New feature for flatpakrefs, SuggestRemoteName=remotename will cause
   flatpak to ask if you want to create a generic (not app specific)
   remote for the repo url.
 * flatpak build now does not die with the parent by default, you have
   to pass --die-with-parent. This was done because die-with-parent
   uses PR_SET_PDEATHSIG which does not work well if the parent is
   threaded, like e.g. gnome-software is.
 * We now always re-set the personality in the sandboxed process
   in order to avoid inheriting weird settings.
 * We now share a single dbus proxy instance for all proxies for a sandbox.
 * dbus-proxy now properly disallows old-style eavesdropping.
 * We now support accessibility by starting a customized dbus proxy for the
   a11y bus.
