Release 2016.4
There's a fair amount of stuff in this release, but the `ostree admin
unlock` command has me the most excited. It actually starts to take
us all of the way back to one of the original visions of OSTree, which
was to make it easy for people to develop/hack on the OS locally,
making it easy to "roll back" to a known good state.
If you found *developing* using an OSTree managed system painful, I
think `ostree admin unlock` command goes a long way towards fixing
that. There is more to do here, but give it a try!
Other notable changes:
Alexander Larsson and Giuseppe Scrivano both worked on caching the
`summary` file, to avoid redownloading more data than we need to just
to detect "nothing changed".
Colin Walters committed 'lib: Introduce versioned symbols' which is
important for consumers of the shared library to note.
There are updates to the manual, including a new section on writing
buildsystems designed to use OSTree. Expect more content like this.
Speaking of the shared library some APIs were added so that projects
like rpm-ostree can more precisely watch the sysroot.
Following is a shortlog with the most significant other commits;
