+Version 0.8.3
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Released: 2021-02-02
+
+Notes:
+ * This release requires libappstream-compose from the AppStream project to build.
+   The library is still in progress and currently has an unstable API, but
+   is developed in sync with appstream-generator, so asgen can safely
+   depend on it.
+

+ * Ignore all apps with only desktop-entry files using OnlyShowIn (Matthias Klumpp)

+ * Use metainfo parsing helper from appstream-compose (Matthias Klumpp)
+ * alpine: add capabilities to download packages via HTTP (Rasmus Thomsen)
