This is a bug-fix update.

 * We now allow networked access to X11 and PulseAudio services
   if that is configured, and the application has network access.
   (#397, #3908, #4702)
 * Absolute paths in WAYLAND_DISPLAY now work (#4752)
 * Allow apps that were built with Flatpak 1.13.x to export
   AppStream metadata in share/metainfo (#4350, #4599)
 * 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)
 * Consistently pass relative subpaths to libostree, working around a bug
   in libostree < 2021.6 when used with GLib >= 2.71 (#4805)
 * Fix some memory leaks in GVariant data processing
