Enhancements:

• Allow directories to be forwarded to the sandboxed app as command-line
  arguments. This requires xdg-desktop-portal >= 1.7.0. (#6247)

• Allow Flatpak apps that are conceptually part of the operating system
  to be preinstalled by dropping files into preinstall.d directories.
  (#6116)

• Allow direct installation from an OCI image (#5972)

• Allow OCI remotes to have a collection ID, so they can be used with
  flatpak preinstall (#6083)

• Show a message if flatpak document-list finds no documents, and if
  flatpak uninstall finds nothing to uninstall (#6197)

• Support sideloading from OCI repositories and archives. This allows
  installing apps from OCI images stored in local sideload repositories.
  (#6294)

• Add support for flatpak+https:// URIs in flatpak install --from
  (#6372)

• New --clear-env option for flatpak run to clear the environment
  from the host before running the application (#6298)

• Support for conditional permissions. Permissions can now be conditioned
  on system and runtime capabilities. This for example allows to replace
  --device=all permissions with
  --device-if=all:!has-input-device --device=input. (#6285)

• Add host-root export which exposes the host's root directory at
  /run/host/root in the sandbox (#6314)

• Enable the VA-API extension for Intel Xe GPUs (#6311)

• JSON output support for various commands, making it easier to parse
  flatpak command output programmatically (#6337)

• Add basic OS information to Flatpak-Os-Info header when pulling objects,
  helping repository administrators understand their user base (#6346)

• flatpak build does not grant the host permissions by default, improving
  build isolation and reproducibility (#6308)

• Support the reinstall option on bundle installations (#5546)

• Drop a workaround for AppStream CIDs with duplicate .desktop suffixes
  (#6350)

• Add cancellation support for curl downloads (#6356)

• build-finish exports external AppStream release metainfo (#6133)

• The default D-Bus configuration moved from /etc to /usr (#6347)

• Documentation improvements (#6266, #6348, #6240, #6374)

• Translation updates: cs (#6306), nl (#6241), pl (#6290, #6288),
  sl (#6279, #6377), ru (#6278), zh_CN (#6304, #6334, #6354, #6366)

Bug fixes:

• Provide an empty /run/host/font-dirs.xml during flatpak build (#6138)

• Various bug fixes for the OCI support (#6296)

• Improve clearing the environment in the flatpak portal to fix support for
  FLATPAK_SPAWN_FLAGS_CLEAR_ENV with FLATPAK_SPAWN_FLAGS_NOTIFY_START (#6298)

• Fix various issues with flatpak mask and flatpak pin by reloading the
  repo configuration after changes done via the system helper (#6073)

• Fix propagation of resolv.conf into the sandbox via the session-helper by
  improving the file monitoring in case of broken symlinks (#6349)

• Preinstallation now works if the ref is not available in the first configured
  remote (#6373)

• Flatpak now allows the usage of sudo for changing the user (#6371)

• flatpak-kill will no longer send SIGKILL to all processes in the current
  process group (#6375)

• Authorization for parental controls no longer relies on racy PIDs (#6303)

• Fix various memory leaks (#6286, #6260)

• Fix various crashes (#6074, #6376)
