[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] Babeltrace 1.0.0-rc6

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

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.

We had enough fixes for another round of rc release before 1.0 final.
Mainly fixed all kinds of memory leaks, which became important when
libbabeltrace was introduced, and the scope of babeltrace became more
than just trace conversion.
