Release 2017.2
First, this release renames the project to `libostree`. This best matches
the current usage of the code, where different projects act as client tools.
More information [in the pull request](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/659).
However - if you're a user of `ostree admin upgrade`; don't worry, it will
continue to be maintained and there are improvements in the pipeline.
It's possible that there will be an effort to have a "canonical" ostree
client-side daemon in the future.
Moving on, there are some smaller bugfixes and enhancements in this release,
and two big new build-time options.
`--with-curl`: We now support libcurl as a HTTP backend. This passes all of the
existing tests, and is suitable for evaluation by downstream consumers. Please
give it a try, and it's likely we'll classify it as equally stable as the
libsoup backend within a release or two. Among other features, the libcurl
backend can speak `HTTP/2`, which can result in *substantial* speedups in the
non-static-delta case. Another motivation for this is that for `rpm-ostree` we
already depend on libcurl, which also links to OpenSSL in Fedora. Whereas
`libsoup->glib-networking->gnutls`, so with this change we'll drop gnutls too.

`--enable-rust`: This is an experiment in following a similar plan to what Firefox is doing with
Rust. When this build time option is enabled, a very small bit of libostree (the
rsync-style rollsum code) is in Rust, and linked statically into the rest of the
library. There are no plans right now to make this a hard requirement in the
near future. Please let us know if a dependency on Rust would be
a blocker for your usage of libostree. Or conversely, if using Rust is exciting
for you and would make you more likely to contribute, please also let us know that!
