This release would not work on v0.7 data directly. Needs backup and reimport.

Features

Server

Go client now supports an Unmarshal function which allows unmarshalling the protocol buffer response to a custom struct.
Add support for storing and retrieving raw bytes.
Cleaner and more intuitive API for doing mutations.

Move away from RocksDB and get rid of CGO. Start using Badger.
Assign uids sequentially.
Allow retrieving other children with @groupby.
Allow aliases for math expressions.
Support filtering using multiple tokens with eq.
Better language lists semantics. Issue #1010
Add a uid function which can be used for filtering uids at any level.
Allow adding @count indexes which allow for faster count comparison queries at the root.
Optimisations in how we store Posting List data structure. Store uids separately.
Allow specifying a max depth argument for the shortest path.
Support for month, day, hour indexes for dateTime datatype.
Get rid of lhmap and add an LRU Cache. We don't do Stop the World anymore.

date type is no longer supported as a schema type in Dgraph. You should use dateTime instead.
Change of syntax for querying by id.

# Before
{
  me(id: [0x1, 0x2]) {
    ...
  }
}

# Now
{
  me(func: uid(0x1, 0x2)) {
    ...
  }
}

Dgraph doesn't fingerprint xids anymore. They are now treated similarly to other edges. So now if you had an xid and you wanted to query by it you would use.

# You need to have an index on xid for calling `eq` function.
{
  me(func: eq(xid, "alice")) {
    ....
  } 
}

/admin/backup is now /admin/export. It outputs blank nodes which can now be used to load data into a fresh instance.
There is a separate port for http (default 8080) and grpc (default 9080) now.

Remove concurrent filtering data race. Issue #1020
