The headlining feature in this release is support for
repository locking, contributed by Dan Nicholson. Currently it is
disabled by default; add `locking=true` in a repository configuration
file to enable. This feature should be considered as "tech preview"; it's
highly likely we'll stabilize it in its current form, but it's possible something
will change. Currently the locking only protects commit + prune; there is
a large pending PR to extend locking to many more APIs and commands.
Several new APIs were added; for example libostree now has a convenient
API to break a hardlink, which happens in e.g. rpm-ostree in several places
such as handling the RPM database.
Also, multithreading support in the commit APIs was cleaned up and clarified.
It's now possible to call `transaction_set_ref()` from multiple threads, which
rpm-ostree uses now to import RPMs to OSTree in parallel.
We're tracking an issue with http2+libcurl (#1362) and while I've been too
cowardly to pull out wireshark and gdb to fully track this down, it looks like
there are a number of issues still floating around HTTP2+libcurl (some are
server bugs), that we added support at both build and runtime to disable http2.
The `fsck` command learned how to verify ref bindings, and relatedly,
the `commit` command gained a `--unbound` option to skip creating ref bindings.
Thanks to all contributors
