e81805618a635592918f2c70f80fa1052d684f580db677ff6bf5838863375c2b  flatpak-1.13.1.tar.xz

Dependencies:

 * libappstream 0.12.0 or later is now required
 * appstream-glib is no longer required
 * In distributions that compile Flatpak to use a separate bubblewrap (bwrap)
   executable, version 0.5.0 is now required

New features:

 * Create a directory for XDG_STATE_HOME and set the environment variable
   (#4477)
   - Apps requiring a state directory without a dependency on this updated
     Flatpak version can get similar functionality by using:
     --persist=.local/state --unset-env=XDG_STATE_HOME
     which will use the same storage location
 * Set HOST_XDG_STATE_HOME environment variable (#4477)
 * Add have-kernel-module-foo family of conditionals for extensions, a
   generalization of have-intel-gpu (which is now mostly equivalent to
   have-kernel-module-i915) (#4647)
 * Add `flatpak document-unexport --doc-id=...` (#1897)
 * Export Appstream metadata for host system to use (#4350, #4599)
 * Add command-line completion for the Fish shell (#3109)
 * Add FlatpakTransaction:no-interaction API (#4699)
 * We now allow networked access to X11 and PulseAudio services
   if that is configured, and the application has network access.
   (#397, #3908, #4702)
 * `flatpak build-init` automatically sets the build directory to be
   ignored by git (#4741)

Other changes:

 * Updated bundled xdg-dbus-proxy to 0.1.3 (#4737)
 * Updated bundled bubblewrap to 0.6.1 (#4779)
 * The default branch in the Github repository is now named 'main'
 * Don't offer options in CLI tab completion unless the user typed a '-'
   (#4753)
 * Disable fancy output (e.g. progress bars that get redrawn) when
   G_MESSAGES_DEBUG is set in the environment (#4767)
 * Most commands now work if /var/lib/flatpak exists but /var/lib/flatpak/repo
   does not, and will automatically populate the repo directory if
   possible (#4111)
 * Disable session bus access for `flatpak-spawn --sandbox` as intended
   (#4630)
 * Make `sudo flatpak --user ...` fail with an error message, since acting
   on root's per-user installation is unlikely to be what was intended
   (#4638)
 * Don't mention "negative" permissions like !host in /.flatpak-info (#4691)
 * Improve performance when finding related refs
 * Use SHA256 instead of SHA1 to avoid false-positives from static analysis
   (in fact the use of SHA1 was not security-sensitive here) (#4716)
 * Create sandbox's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR with 0700 permissions (#3397)
 * Always create /.flatpak-info with 0600 permissions
 * Absolute paths in WAYLAND_DISPLAY now work (#4752)
 * Improve reliability of detecting the current GTK theme (#4754)
 * Fix some error code paths when deploying malformed apps
 * Improve some error messages
 * Use URN for fontconfig DTD, consistent with fontconfig itself (#4617)
 * Use `type -P` or `command -v` in preference to which(1) (#4696)
 * Improve measurement of test coverage (#4681)
 * Translation updates: de, fr, hi, hr, id, oc, pl, pt_BR, sv, uk, zh_CN
