This release introduces experimental support for automatic updates. The
initial code drop is only currently able to check for updates, not apply
them. Available updates, as well as any open security advisories, are
displayed in `status`. This paves the way for better integration into
cluster-level tools for smarter update strategies. Regardless, this is
still a welcome feature as-is for single host systems like Atomic
Workstations.
PRs: #1147 #1249
The current policy for auto-update processing is `none`, i.e. disabled.
To turn it on, the `AutomaticUpdatePolicy` setting must be changed in
`rpm-ostreed.conf` and the systemd timer enabled. See
`rpm-ostreed.conf(5)` for details. If you would like to participate in
the design discussions, see:

A number of improvements to the
[rpm-ostree jigdo](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1081)
mode have landed; it is still experimental, but we're making progress
quickly. If you want to try it out, see: https://pagure.io/fedora-atomic-host-continuous
You may have noticed in the previous release that we started displaying
`ostree://` in front of refspecs. To make things fully symmetric, we
also now support specifying it where refspecs are expected, in e.g. the
`rebase` command. This support is necessary in order to allow rebasing
between `ostree://` and `rojig://` (jigdo) modes.
PRs: #1210 #1232
We now finally support overriding the kernel via
`rpm-ostree override replace ./kernel-4.x.yz.x86_64.rpm`. This is a
long-overdue feature as the core libostree model was intended to support
things like this easily, but we had to work through a few details in
integrating with the RPM side.
PRs: #1228 #1226
We have a high level goal to have rpm-ostree be the entrypoint, not
`/usr/bin/ostree`. As part of that, we added `rpm-ostree usroverlay`
which has exactly the same functionality as `ostree admin unlock`. The
plan is to update documentation slowly.
PR: #1233
Package-layering also got some improvements. The client is now capable
of handling multilib packages, which is required by some third-party
packages. Related to this, overrides are now smarter about handling
shared files between packages.
