Major changes in 0.11.8
=======================

 * Flatpak uninstall now accepts --all to remove everything and
--unused to remove unused
   runtimes.
 * New command "flatpak repair" allows checking and repairing a
flatpak installation.
 * New permission --allow=bluetooth allows use of AF_BLUETOOTH sockets
 * If p11-kit-server is installed on the host, this is now used to
forward the host
   certificate trust store to the sandboxed app.
 * New transaction API in libflatpak that makes it much easier to implement
  installation and updates in frontends.
 * Flatpak uninstall now does not allow you to remove a runtime if
some installed app requires it.
 * We now have tab-completion for zsh.
 * New installations of flatpak now defaults to bare-user-only repos,
which means
   that it works with filesystems that don't support xattrs.
 * New flatpak info options: --show-location, --show-runtime, --show-sdk
 * New flatpak remote-info options: --show-runtime, --show-sdk
 * p2p operations now work when offline.
 * Work around hanging on app startup on blocking autofs mounts.
 * The dbus proxy filtering now works matches the new dbus containers
filtering API.
 * Various optimizations make installation and updates faster. In particular
   operations like running triggers and pruning only happens once per
   install/update operation.
 * We now respect multiple extension versions matches when
auto-downloading extensions.
 * New http header Flatpak-Upgrade-From sent when upgrading.
 * Commands like "flatpak info/list/remotes/seach" now work properly
if /var/lib/flatpak doesn't exist.
 * The bubblewrap version required for system-bwrap is now 0.2.1.
