| Version 0.2.0 | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| Released: 2014-06-19 | |
| Notes: | |
| - This is the first release that merges the createrepo_as project with this one. | |
| A new experimental command 'appstream-builder' has been added and can be used | |
| by distributors to build metadata. Normal users don't need this or the shared | |
| library libappstream-bulder, and this can be split off into a subpackage by | |
| downstream if required. | |
| - We're slowly merging parts of appdata-tools into this project too, but we'll | |
| provide more details when the merge is complete. | |
