---------------
ubuntu-app-launch (0.9+16.10.20161003.1-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium
* Set a base directory for icons that have a full path specified in
their desktop file (LP: #1623636)
* Don't throw an exception when a Desktop file fails to include an
Icon key (LP: #1617348)
* Switch from g_atexit to std::atexit to avoid deprecation warnings
* Use the --id field for launching with libertine-launch and use it
for setting up other X11 environments
* Ensure we don't check the length of a nullptr array
* Make sure we don't check snapd if we know it won't return useful
results
* Make use of the instance parameter consistent through all the
backends (LP: #1626028)
