Due to a combination of some behaviour in flatpak and recent versions
of ostree we at some point lost the use of deltas for the initial
install case, instead always falling back to a full ostree operation
which is a lot less efficient for pulls with many small files
like a runtime. This caused some very slow installs from e.g. flathub,
so I recommend everyone update to this version to get better install
performance.
Other changes are:
* We now correctly handle TMPDIR env var overrides when bwrap is setuid
* Disallow running "flatpak run" under sudo (as it doesn't work and
causes issues)
* Fix build with older versions of glib
* Minor documentation updates
* Updated translations
