Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package appstream.

[ Reason ]
Backports a few fixes from the 0.16.2 release:
 * Fixes two crashes that can happen when the tool is fed invalid or
unexpected input
 * Correctly validates some valid license expressions (LibreOffice was
affected by this)
 * Fixes an issue where component-IDs weren't reproducibly
synthesized, leading to ratings/reviews not showing up for these apps
 * Adds a fix for a noisy warning with newer GLib versions that is
inert on older releases

[ Impact ]
More crashes and invalid evaluation of valid license terms, if not updated.

[ Tests ]
Tested by upstream and other distros for months already, does not
break API/ABI, we already use these changes on Debian's appstream.d.o
service to avoid crashes with Qt apps.

[ Risks ]
None that I can think of.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

Thank you for your work on getting the release out!
