[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools-testing v20071017-rc

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

Sorry for being a bit slow in attending to patches of late.
I think that I have got all of them now, if not, please just drop
me a line.

I have made an RC release which includes a moderate ammount of change
sice 20080219. If no alarm bells ring I'll make a full release shortly.

The RC release can be downloaded as a tarball:
