Changes for version 0.28 - 2016-11-27

  • Follow the current mime-apps-spec (fixes #8, #20) The current version of the mime-apps spec locates the per-user defaults file in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mimeapps.list`. Use that location, and fall back to the per-system and distribution defaults as specified, with the previous legacy defaults file as a final fallback. Fix by Patrick Burroughs (Celti)
