+Released: 2018-04-04
+
+Notes:
+ * Processing single packages and calling publication and processing

+   will happen later. Do not use this in production!
+
+Features:

+ * Add framework for extracting data directly from package files
+ * Allow setting icon policy in configuration
+ * Add support for more icon types and customizable icon policy
+ * Allow icon upscaling in certain cases, but complain about it
+ * Modernize Meson definitions
+ * Document how to modify icon policies in configuration
+ * Use AppStream 0.12.0 and format 0.12 by default
+
+Bugfixes:
+ * Update wrap files to be compatible with gir-to-d >= 0.13
+ * Improve ArchiveDecompressor usage
+ * For each array appender, try to guess capacity to reserve better
+ * Properly add remote icon URLs
