Do I understand correctly that prior versions depended on host libraries outside of the image, such as libc? That's against app image philosophy, if so. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

AppImage philosophy just says that you need to privately bundle what you cannot assume to be there on all target systems (Linux distributions) by default.

AppImage authors can decide whether to bundle all dependency libraries (down to and including glibc), or whether to bundle just those that cannot be reasonably expected to be part of the default installation of all mainstream desktop Linux distributions. Up to now, most AppImages have been doing the latter, although the former is also possible. It's a tradeoff.

So you are volunteering for https://github.com/probonopd/Emacs.AppImage/issues/17 @d85a6g?

Luckily not, but quite busy with other things. If someone would like to see a newer version, the build system would have to be migrated from Travis to GitHub Releases. I am appreciating pull requests to do this.
