flatpak-1.12.0.tar.xz
This is the first stable release in the 1.12.x series. The major changes
in this series is the support for better control of sub-sandboxes, as
used by the steam flatpak.
In addition, this release fixes a security vulnerability in the portal
support. Some recently added syscalls were not blocked by the seccomp rules
which allowed the application to create sub-sandboxes which can confuste
the sandboxing verification mechanisms of the portal. This has been
fixed by extending the seccomp rules.

Other changes in this version:
* Some test fixes
* Update translations
* Support for specifying the flatpak binary to use during exports
* Install translations for all languages in the locale, not just the ones in
LC_MESSAGES.
* Fix progress reporting in flatpak fsck
* Handle cases where /var/tmp is a symlink
* Expose /etc/gai.conf to the sandbox
* Fix the parental control checks for root
* Handle missing /etc/ld.so.cache (musl)
