This is a development prerelease for the adventurous, part of the 1.15.x
branch, which will eventually lead to a 1.16.0 stable release. Don't
include this version in stable OS distributions.

This version has no new features, just the security fixes from 1.14.4.

Security fixes:

* Escape special characters when displaying permissions and metadata,
  preventing malicious apps from manipulating the appearance of the
  permissions list using crafted metadata (CVE-2023-28101).

* If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console (tty1, tty2, etc.),
  don't allow copy/paste via the TIOCLINUX ioctl (CVE-2023-28100). Note
  that this is specific to virtual consoles: Flatpak is not vulnerable
  to this if run from a graphical terminal emulator such as xterm,
  gnome-terminal or Konsole.

Other bug fixes:

* Document the path used for `flatpak override`
* Translation updates: oc, pl, ru, sv, tr
