[RAUC] [ANNOUNCE] RAUC v0.3 released

[Enrico Joerns]

Hi,

we are proud to announce that we've just released RAUC v0.3:

https://github.com/rauc/rauc/releases/tag/v0.3

Again, we have worked a lot on stability and support for more and more 
use cases. RAUC now supports pure UEFI-based booting on x86, multiple 
board variants in the same bundle, intermediate certificates and 
enhanced feedback from the boot selection layer.

Find more details in the full changes list below.

Best regards and happy (and robust) updating,

The RAUC Team

CHANGES:

Release 0.3 (released Feb 1, 2018)
----------------------------------

.. rubric:: Enhancements

* Added support for intermediate certificates, improved bundle resigning and
   certificate information for hooks.
   This makes it easier to use a multi-level PKI with separate intermediate
   certificates for development and releases.
   See :ref:`sec-resign` for details.
* Added support for image variants, which allow creating a single bundle 
which
   supports multiple hardware variants by selecting the matching image 
from a
   set contained in the bundle.
   See :ref:`sec-variants` for details.
* Added support for redundant booting by using EFI boot entries directly.
   See :ref:`sec-efi` for details.
* Added boot information to ``rauc status``
* Added ``rauc extract`` command to extract bundles
* Support detection of the booted slot by using the ``UUID=`` and 
``PARTUUID=``
   kernel options.
* Improved the status and error output
* Improved internal error cause propagation

.. rubric:: Bug fixes

* Fixed boot slot detection for ``root=<symlink>`` boot parameters (such as
   ``root=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:17.0-ata-1-part1``)
* Removed redundant image checksum verification during installation.

.. rubric:: Testing

* Improve robustness and test coverage
* Use gcc-7 for testing

.. rubric:: Documentation

   - intermediate certificates
   - re-signing bundles
