    2.16.1 bugfix release
    
    * icons_list_dependencies - Rely on application_icons_list to get the
      list of icons.
    * launcher_write_desktop - Drop requirement on APP_xxx_TYPE.
    * get_context_specific_value:
      - Do not try to guess a package identifier if none is set.
      - Do not look for an archive-specific value before an archive is set.
    * Check for dependencies only after the main archive is set.

    2.17.0 feature release
    
    Changes related to launchers
    
    * Prefix type can be set at the application level (using APP_xxx_PREFIX_TYPE)
      or for all applications (using APPLICATIONS_PREFIX_TYPE), with the following valid values:
      - symlinks: generate our usual symbolic links farm, the default for most application types
      - none: the game is run from the read-only system directory, the default for ScummVM and ResidualVM
    * Prefix path can be overridden for the current game session by setting PLAYIT_PREFIX_PATH
      The default value is: ~/.cache/play.it/prefixes/${GAME_ID}
    * WINE prefix path follows WINEPREFIX if it is set.
      If the variable is unset, it defaults to:
      ~/.cache/play.it/wine/${GAME_ID}
    * A single directory is used for persistent storage of user data.
      It can be set using PLAYIT_PERSISTENT_USER_PATH, and defaults to:
      ~/.local/share/games/${GAME_ID}
    * The undocumented runtime variable PREFIX_ID is no longer supported.
    
    Changes related to archives
    
    * New archive type "tar.bz2".
    * For multi-part archives, type is optional for extra parts.
    * Allow use of unzip for data extraction from mojosetup archives, if bsdtar is not available.
    * Force the use of a specific tool for content extraction:
      - An archive extractor can be set with ARCHIVE_xxx_EXTRACTOR
      - An options strings can be set with ARCHIVE_xxx_EXTRACTOR_OPTIONS
    
    Changes related to icons
    
    * Icons inclusion is now done using a single function, icons_inclusion.
    * The following functions are deprecated:
      - icons_get_from_package
      - icons_get_from_workdir
      - icons_move_to
    
    Other changes
    
    * Drop option to do partial runs with no actual disk write.
      (--dry-run option)
    * New option provided to change ./play.it working path: --tmpdir
      The default value is $TMPDIR, falling back on /tmp
    
    Codebase improvements
    
    * New layout for source files.
    * Use a dedicated check to detect unexpected empty variables.
