- Now the appstream cache is refreshed in %post. The update to 0.11.8
plus the refresh fixes kde#389531.
- Headers are now installed to /usr/include/appstream instead of
/usr/inlude/AppStream
- New package AppStream-doc with the html documentation for AppStream
- Use meson to build instead of cmake
- Update to version 0.11.8:
Features:
* validator: Emit a hint in case a discouraged AppStream ID style is used (Matthias Klumpp)
* l10n: Renamed Norwegian Bokmål language file (Matthias Klumpp)
Specification:
* docs: Add quickstart instructions for intltool (David Steele)
* spec: Discourage use of hyphens and digit-started segments for IDs (Matthias Klumpp)
Bugfixes:
* qt: Export the AppStreamQt target (Aleix Pol)
* Various string improvements (Allan Nordhøy)

Notes:
* The appstreamcli validation commands now use curl if it is available to check all
URLs in the metadata for existence.
If you don't want this behavior, pass "--nonet" to appstreamcli. There might also
be false positives (one is known with the KDE bugtracker) that need to be investigated,
so feedback on this new feature is welcome.
Features:
* validator: Check all urls for validity (Matthias Klumpp)
