~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2018-10-22
Notes:
* Beginning with this release, data from local .desktop files will not be loaded into
the pool automatically, unless a metainfo file also exists.
This should ensure less duplicated components in general higher-quality data to be

on your AsPool instance.

Version 0.10.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2016-11-01
Notes:
* The release breaks the Qt library API. Patches to make KDE Discover use the new API exist
in its Git master branch, and will be available with Plasma 5.9.

you might need to ship patches for Discover downstream to use the new API.
Features:
* qt: Update API to reflect more recent AppStream features, be easier to
extend and also a bit faster due to removing needless data conversions.
(Matthias Klumpp, Aleix Pol)
* Make components record their origin kind internally (Matthias Klumpp)
* Provide a file:/ URL for icons when we know a file name (Matthias Klumpp)
