A CLI flag to deploy an appstream file has been added. When used, the appstream file under the given path is copied into usr/share/metainfo. This way, users don't have to create an AppDir and manually add the file to the correct location in order for the AppImage to contain one. Additionally, a -a shortcut has been added to the AppDir flag.

The linuxdeploy user guide has been rewritten, improved and updated. In general, the explanation of how linuxdeploy can be used has been massively improved. There is now a clear explanation of the two distinct ways and its easier to understand how to use linuxdeploy without make. The misleading term "Manual packaging" has been removed as well. Additionally, there are many smaller improvements, namely: - Documentation on the command line arguments --appstream-file, --appdir, --plugin and --output has been added. (This depends on linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy#288 being merged). - The introduction has been improved and now explains the core ideas better. - Additional information about the command line arguments --icon-file and --executable as well as about plugins has been added (and wrong information has been corrected). - An incorrect link to a different section has been corrected. - TODOs about further improvements that also affect other sections have been added.
