One of the most notable changes in this release is that we switched
to using a systemd generator for handling /var, which means admins
can now set it up as an explicit mount point. We feel pretty confident
in the code, but do test your specific setup. One note in particular;
the new model (obviously) requires systemd, and while we tried to preserve
the non-systemd path, it wasn't explicitly tested.
Issue: #855

The work to port to a new code style continues rapidly; at this point
most of the library is converted, with just the command line remaining.
I think the new style is a lot more readable now that we rely fully
on __attribute__((cleanup)).

Philip Withnall contributed changes to enhance the OstreeAsyncProgress
reporting API, which I think is going to be quite useful for user
interface frontends (like GNOME Software).
PR: #819

There's a smattering of smaller bugfixes; minor memory leaks, double close()
and the like. In this cycle we also beefed up our CI/testing more - we
now test both Fedora Atomic Host and flatpak more explicitly. Contributions
to extend the suite to other distributions would be appreciated; for example,
tests for ostree-as-host on Debian. Our Travis-executed tests
should be extensible.

Thanks to Dan Nicholson for also fixing some of the test suite for installed
tests, and also contributing introspection fixes for language bindings.

Another feature that involved a lot of internal changes is our handling
for /etc on SELinux-based systems. We now label files as we go rather
than having a more fragile separate relabeling path. This is also
exposed as an API, which is used by rpm-ostree now. I think this
particular change highlights the strength of "libostree" as an API
that can be reused by higher level systems.
PR: #797

Thanks to all contributors!
