 - Uses PIE in the Linux sandbox (from openSUSE via Russian Fedora)

 - Enables ARM CPU detection for webrtc (from archlinux via Russian Fedora)

 - Sets default master_preferences location to /etc/chromium (and includes master_preferences file)

 - Creates PepperFlash directory where plugin needs to live if user has it

 - Improves translations in chromium-browser.desktop (from Russian Fedora)

 - Improves translation in Appinfo xml file (thanks to Richard Hughes)
