Coming about three weeks after the release of Flatpak 0.8.4, this update includes fixes for various crashes reported by users since Flatpak 0.8.3 or a previous version, as well as documentation improvements. It also addresses the xauth propagation, which some users reported broken. The progress reporting in the libflatpak library was fixed as well to go from 0 to 100% at once while merging various phases. The profile script is another component that’s been updated in the Flatpak 0.8.4 release to include instructions to not override the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable.
