* Mon Oct 16 2023 alarrosaAATTsuse.com- Fix the documentation being put in the devel subpackage while the doc subpackage was empty.

* Fri Sep 16 2016 alarrosaAATTsuse.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.
