[RAUC] [ANNOUNCE] RAUC v0.2 released

[Enrico Joerns <ejo@pengutronix.de>]

Hi,

we are proud to announce that we've just released RAUC v0.2:

https://github.com/rauc/rauc/releases/tag/v0.2

This release contains a bunch of enhancements provided by the community 
over the last months. Beside a number of bug fixes, error handling 
improvements and a significant documentation update we introduce new 
features and options further extending the scope of applications and 
easing the usability of RAUC

Progress information in the CLI, support for resigning bundles, delayed 
update activation, a `--keyring` argument, certificate information and 
trust chain dumping are only a small excerpt of what has been added.

Find the more extensive list of changes from 
http://rauc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html attached below.

Stay tuned, and contribute! We just started working for the next 
release, already having a bunch useful extensions pending...


Best regards and happy (and robust) updating,

The RAUC Team
