[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] Babeltrace 1.0.0-rc1

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

From this point on (Release Candidate 1), Babeltrace 1.0 enters feature
freeze mode. From this point on, only bugfixes will enter into
the following release candidates. We should expect to see 1.0 final in a
few weeks from now.

The Babeltrace project provides trace read and write libraries, as well
as a trace converter. Plugins can be created for any trace format to
allow its conversion to/from another trace format.

The main format expected to be converted to/from is the Common Trace
Format (CTF). The default input format of the "babeltrace" command is
CTF, and its default output format is a human-readable text log. The
"babeltrace-log" command converts from a text log to a CTF trace.
