Description

I see that there is a release 1.9. Good stuff!

Q. The binary for `appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage` is now nearly 13 MB, whereas the older version was 2.2 MB. As I bundle the appimagetool binaries in my project, I'm curious to know the reason for the size increase?

Q. I see you discussing bundling runtimes in #61. Did you do this for version 1.9 or not?

If you didn't, I'm presuming that `appimagetool` would not work without an internet connection unless `--runtime-file` is provided? Is my understanding correct?

Thanks
