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.
