    I've said this before but the regular variety of contributors to libostree
    makes me very happy - part of the reason I like working on Free Software
    is collaborating with smart people around the world!  Thanks to all of you!
    
    There's no one major feature in this release, but we have a variety
    of improvements and bugfixes.
    
    The addition of `min-free-space-size` in the previous release caused
    issues with older libostree/flatpak interacting with it.  We now tolerate
    both `min-free-space-size` and `min-free-space-percent` being set for
    compatibility.
    PR: #1685
    
    The way libostree writes bootloader spec snippets has changed to
    have the version number first, aiding sorting.  It turns out some BLS
    implementations order via filename.  This is preparatory work for more
    directly adopting the BLS in Fedora (and I for one will not miss grub2-mkconfig
    and particularly os-prober)!
    
    libostree became significantly smarter about handling "recommitting" content,
    such as `ostree commit --tree=ref=foo -b bar`; it's now nearly free, and this
    can be extended to very quickly "union" or merge different refs into a unified
    whole.  See the discussion in:
    PR: #1643
    
    There are two fixes for staged deployments (still not the default), but
    we're aiming to do that by default in rpm-ostree soon, and that's shaking
    out some remaining issues (for example, the API didn't support overriding
    kernel arguments correctly).
    
    Another notable bugfix is for separate /var partition, which we regressed
    in 2018.6 as part of working on Ignition integration.
    PR: #1668
    
    Thanks again to all contributors!

    This release includes the final merge of the previously "experimental" API
    for peer-to-peer discovery/download.  This is currently supported by Flatpak
    and the EndlessOS updater.  One use case for example that this improves
    is the "update via USB stick" case; you'll need to set collection IDs, and
    have your update system use the repo finder API.  (Today `ostree admin upgrade`
    doesn't).  Thanks a lot to Endless for all of their work on this!
    PR: #1596
    
    libostree learned how to retry HTTP requests on transient network errors.
    By default, requests on such errors are now retried 5 times.
    PR: #1594
    
    There is also now a new "min-free-space-size" config option. This is similar
    to the "min-free-space-percent" option but instead takes absolute values, such
    as "1GB" or "10MB".
    PR: #1616
    
    The original systemd design for `ConditionNeedsUpdate=` didn't quite work
    with libostree, but Endless wrote a fix and had been shipping it for a while.
    That's now been merged: deploy: Delete .updated file from /etc and /var on new deployments
    Part of the reason this came up now is we're planning to change rpm-ostree
    to switch to systemd-sysusers: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/49
    And today sysusers uses `ConditionNeedsUpdate=`.  Once we make
    the switch in rpm-ostree and test it out I'd recommend other operating
    systems follow (and not use nss-altfiles). And if you've already made the switch,
    let us know!
    PR: #1631
    
    We're working on using https://github.com/coreos/ignition for Fedora CoreOS,
    which means integrating it with libostree.  As both run in the initramfs,
    we added a simple change to ensure `/var` is mounted.  A future enhancement
    here will likely involve handling custom `/var` mounts too.
    PR: #1617
    
    There are a variety of other changes, like `fsck --all`, having u-boot support devicetree,
    etc.
    
    Thanks to all contributors!

    This release has a number of features, as well as the usual
    collection of bugfixes (none critical).  On the host management
    side, we landed a design to do "staged" deployments.  There's
    some more information in [the issue](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/545).
    
    I've seen many, many people hit the "where did my changes in /etc go"
    problem, and this will go a long way towards addressing that.  We
    believe the design is fairly good, and the new public API should
    be considered stable.  However, the `ostree admin` commandline only
    uses it with an experimental `OSTREE_EX_STAGE_DEPLOYMENTS=1`.  Please
    try this out - the plan is to eventually make this the default.
    Today rpm-ostree gained a config file option to enable it
    persistently in [this PR](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/1352).
    
    Another notable feature is that upon encountering an error, `fsck`
    will now mark the commits which contain that object as "partial", which
    in turn means that a future `ostree pull` will re-download the objects.
    This makes recovering from corruption much easier.  As part of this
    work, an API was added which can traverse the tree and gather parent pointers.
    More information in [this PR](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1533).
    
    Finally on the feature side, we have enabled repository locking by default.
    This uses file locks and is hence for multiple process exclusion.  For example,
    EndlessOS today has both flatpak and their host updater writing to the system
    repository.  Currently, the locking only applies for commit and prune operations,
    which are the most common sources of concurrency issues.  This will
    be extended over time.  If you want to disable locking, set `locking=false`
    in the repository configuration.
    More information in [this PR](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1555).
    
    Bugfixes are mostly things like a fix for flatpak on filesystems which
    implement reflinks, some memory leaks squashed in the commit path.  And
    the fix in [PR 1537](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1537) is
    fairly notable as it avoids ugly behavior incorrectly scanning all files
    in newly-created repositories that didn't have the legacy `uncompressed-objects-cache`
    directory.
    
    Additionally there are test suite improvements, documentation patches.
    The tests are all now fully Python 3 compatible.
    
    Thanks to all contributors!
