Changes in 1.1.1
================

 * New libflatpak function: flatpak_remote_get_main_ref()
 * Various changes to the policykit rules in order to cause less, and
   more understandable policykit authentication dialogs.
 * Give DRI apps access to more nvidia device nodes required for
CUDA/OpenCL support.
 * search now doesn't search noenumerate remotes.
 * Renamed operations permission-list to permissions and document-list to
   documents. The old names are still supported as aliases.
 * New property 'non-interactive' for installations that allow frontends
   to do background updates without triggering policykit authentications.
 * New flag in HostCommand to allow killing the child process when
   the spawner exits the session bus.
 * Flatpak now authenticates on the terminal in case there is no desktop-wide
   policykit agent.
 * update with no arguments now updates all installations (i.e. also custom
   systemwide installations).
 * Use system helper to generate summary files for OCI remotes.
 * Better progress reporting for OCI downloads.
 * New conditional extension download feature, 'on-xdg-desktop-FOO'
which downloads
   when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP matches FOO.
 * More sockets are now mounted read-only in the sandbox
 * Updated docs, error messages and translations
