Thanks to everyone who contributed towards this release


A special note to downstream vendors/distributors.

The next major release of libosinfo will include a major change in the
way libosinfo is released and distributed. The current single release
will be replaced with three indepedantly released artifacts:

 - libosinfo - this will continue to provide the libosinfo shared library
   and most associated command line tools

 - osinfo-db - this will contain only the database XML files and RNG
   schema, no code at all.

 - osinfo-db-tools - a set of command line tools for managing deployment
   of osinfo-db archives for vendors & users.

The libosinfo and osinfo-db-tools releases will be fairly infrequently as
they are today. The osinfo-db releases will be done very frequently, with
automated releases made available no more than 1 day after updated DB
content is submitted to the project.

Regards,
Daniel
