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

you might need to ship patches for Discover downstream to use the new API.

- Use a define for the so version and fix -devel requiring the old libappstream3
Version: 0.10.0-3.2
* Fri Sep 16 2016 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.10.0
- Disable stemming support until we have libstemmer packaged.
- Generate libappstream4 packages since AppStream changes the ABI in 0.10.0
Notes:
* This release breaks API/ABI in order to support multiple metadata sets describing the same
component (needed for bundling support), moving away from the database as central data store
and general cleanup.
* Porting is relatively straightforward, if you were using AsDatabase, you should switch to AsPool
now (AsDatabase has been a wrapper around AsPool for a while anyway).
* Many methods became private API with this release, file a bug if you miss anything.

and consider using AsCategory instead, which offers the same functionality.
