[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools 2.0.0-rc1

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.0-rc1.
This marks the changing of the name of the tree that
I maintain from kexec-tools-testing to kexec-tools.

Please test this code so we can move towards releasing 2.0.0.


The release can be downloaded from kernel.org:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/testing/kexec-tools-2.0.0-rc1.tar.gz
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/testing/

I have also tagged it in git:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools.git
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools.git

N.B: The git tee has been moved from kexec-tools-testing.git to kexec-tools.git


A summary of the changes since the previous release,
kexec-tools-testing 20080324, is below.
