Some more development releases will be made from this branch until Loop 2.0 is ready to be branched. You can read about Loop branches and version numbering.

We now use restructured build infrastructure to build Loop, Lease, and Border packages. We are able to build and test for many more platforms now, and the builds also complete faster. The RPM builders now run the entire system test suite against the binaries built for each RPM, so that the binaries that users install and use are exactly equal to the tested binaries.

We wanted to merge a couple of large branches into this release, but there was insufficient time. We will likely break them up and merge them phase by phase in future releases.
