Major changes in 0.8.4
======================

In addition to the regular list of bugfixes this stable release
include backports of one more feature required for making OpenGL work
well. Now extra-data using extensions (such as the nvidia driver) can
specify that it doesn't need a runtime to run its apply script. We use
this in the nvidia driver by making the script a static binary, which
lets us use the nvidia driver for multiple runtimes without requering
that a particular one is installed. We also support an extension point
supporting multiple versions, which will be use for sharing the
nvidia driver between different runtime versions.

Additional fixes:
 * Documentation fixes
 * Crash fixes
 * Fix xauth propagation in some cases
 * Don't remove origin remotes on uninstall if some other app
   is installed from it.
 * Don't reset what locales are installed when updating a locale
   extension
 * Disable splice for the documentation portal as it seems
   to be broken in fuse
 * Append, don't override XDG_DATA_DIRS in profile script
 * Fix progress reporting in libflatpak to go from 0 to
   100% once, merging the various phases.
