0.12.0rc1

This is a major release which features a complete
rewrite of the web application interface.

The home page now highlights the data recorded by ARA
and the core of the UI now revolves around the one and
single playbook reports page.

There were three main objectives with this UI work:
- Improve UX (ex: being able to search, find & sort things easily
  * Everything is now searchable and sortable
  * Browsing tips have been added to help users get the most out
    of the interface features

- Improve scalability and performance: the interface should be
  fast and easy to browse whether you have dozens or thousands
  of hosts and tasks
  * Every result list or table are now paginated
  * You can customize pagination preferences with the
    ARA_PLAYBOOK_PER_PAGE and ARA_RESULT_PER_PAGE
    configuration parameters.

- Improve static generation time and weight
  Examples of the same data sets before and after:
  * ARA integration tests (5 playbooks, 59 tasks, 69 results):
    * Before: 5.4 seconds, 1.6MB (gzipped), 217 files
    * After: 2 seconds, 1.2MB (gzipped), 119 files
  * OpenStack-Ansible (1 playbook, 1547 tasks, 1667 results):
    * Before: 6m21 seconds, 31MB (gzipped), 3710 files
    * After: 20 seconds, 8.9MB (gzipped), 1916 files

Other features and fixes include:
- First party WSGI support [1]
- Fixed syntax highlighting support when viewing files
- Preparations for supporting the upcoming Ansible 2.3 release
- Preparations for full python 3 support
- Various performance improvements

Misc:
- Jinja HTML templates are now fully indented with no regards
  to line length or PEP8 to privilege readability over long and
  nested content.
- Added some missing web application unit tests
- Various javascript and css optimizations
- The web application backend in itself was significantly
  simplified: less routes, less templates, less code
- Added a configuration parameter ARA_PLAYBOOK_PER_PAGE which
  controls the amount of playbooks per page in the playbook
  report list.
- Added a configuration parameter ARA_RESULT_PER_PAGE which
  controls the amount of results per page in the data results
  table (such as hosts, plays and tasks).

Known issues:
- The file list table in the file panel will eventually
  be replaced by a folder/file hierarchy tree

Changelog for 0.10.4

Ansible 2.2.1.0 shipped with a hard dependency on Jinja2 < 2.9 [1].
Since Flask has a requirement on Jinja2 >= 2.4, it would pick up
2.9.4 first and then disregard Ansible's requirement.

    https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ara
    or mirrored at
    https://github.com/openstack/ara
  - Submitting patches is now done through OpenStack's Gerrit
    system.
    Documentation on how to contribute is available at
    http://ara.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing.html
  - Unit and integration testing is no longer done through
    Travis but instead by OpenStack Zuul testing infrastructure.

- UI Revamp: First implementation
  This is the first release in which lands a first implementation of
  a large UI revamp with the Patternfly [1] CSS framework. There are
  some small issues and quirks but we will iterate in order to fix
  them.

  ARA now stores a unique, zipped copy of playbook files allowing you
  to see the content of your task files as they ran in a particular
  ansible-playbook run. The UI leverages that feature and also provides
  a direct link with line highlight to show where a particular action
  took place.
