flatpak-1.7.1.tar.xz

This is the first release in the 1.7.x unstable release series.

A major change is that the support for the ostree peer-to-peer
installation has been
simplified. Flatpak no longer supports installing from local network
peers, and sideloading
from local usb stick is no longer automatic. To enable sideloading you
have to configure
a sideload repository by creating a symlink to it from
/var/lib/flatpak/sideload-repos or
/run/flatpak/sideload-repos. Due to this the flatpak code has been
simplified internally
and the p2p support is more efficient.

Other major changes
 * If an app has filesystem access, the host /lib is accessible as
/run/host/lib, etc.
 * New filesystem permission "host-etc" and "host-os" give access to
system /usr and /etc.
 * Flatpak now uses variant-schema-compiler to generate more efficient code for
   parsing GVariant files from ostreee.
 * libsystemd use is now optional in configure.
 * Journal sockets are mounted readonly
 * document-export now supports exporting directories (requires new
portal version)
 * DConf migration now allows version numbers in object paths
