flathub-cli

This is a project I started a while ago but put on the back burner due to scheduling conflict. It's a command line tool to integrate all the tasks of maintaining flatpak packages for flathub. Some stuff isn't flathub specific though. I already have a bunch of scripts I use, and this is meant to be next level. It also merges into it my previous tool, flatpak-manifest-generator, an interactive tool to generate flatpak manifests.

One thing I had left in progress and did finish implementing at least the basics is the cleanup command to purge downloads. The rationale is that when you update a package manifest, you change the sources. But the old ones that have been downloaded are still kept. The cleanup downloads command will find these unused sources and delete them for you. I really needed this.

flathub-cli is written in Rust.

AbiWord

Fixing some annoying bugs (regressions) in master, some memory leakage in both stable and master, a lot of in the Gtk UI code. I also fixed a crash when editing lists in 3.0.6 that was due to some code not touched since 2004, and even then that part is probably even older. The short story is that updating a value in the StringMap<> updated the key whose pointer ended up being help somewhere else. Yep, dangling pointer. The fix was to not update the key if it is the same.

On master only, I also started fixing the antiquated C++ syntax. For some reason in C++ there was a lot of typedef enum and typedef struct, probably an artifact of the late 90's code origin. At the same time moved to #pragma once for header includes. Let the compiler handle it. Also fixed a crash with saving a document with revisions.
