Summary

Characters is a simple utility application to find and insert unusual

characters.

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in

the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be

marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to

security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This

update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy

Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases,

those updates have been edited instead).

* Tue Apr 16 2019 Adam Williamson - 3.30.0-3

- Rebuild with Meson fix for #1699099

* Wed Mar 20 2019 Matthias Clasen - 3.30.0-2

- Add a missing runtime dep. This was causing the

flatpak build to miss gnome-desktop3, which is

used by introspection

* Tue Oct 9 2018 Kalev Lember - 3.30.0-1

- Update to 3.30.0
