1.17.1

Enhancements:

Drop libsoup2 support in favor of libcurl. The http_backend build option has been dropped as well. (#6395)
Support conditional permissions for shared subsystems and features. This extends the conditional permission system that was introduced in 1.17.0 to shares and features.
Enable progress escape sequence by default (#6393)
Allow passing device permissions to sub-sandbox created via the Flatpak portal (#6123)
Add the runtime repository to the OCI image metadata when building OCI bundles (#6409)
The CI now checks for translatable files and is now used to do releases (#6408, #6407)
OCI remotes can now be configured to check for a matching signature in a standard OCI signature storage lookaside service, when installing apps and runtimes. (#6426)
Applications distributed as OCI images now support the extra-data mechanism which should help with h.265 playback in Fedora Flatpaks (#6299)
Add support for building OCI bundles with zstd compressed layers. This speeds up compression by several times, resulting in about a 20% smaller result. gzip is kept as the default for maximum compatibility. (#5540)
