[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] LTTng-UST 2.1.0-rc1

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

LTTng-UST, the Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation Userspace Tracer, is
port of the low-overhead tracing capabilities of the LTTng kernel tracer
to user-space. The library "liblttng-ust" enables tracing of
applications and libraries.

Major new features:
        - filtering by event content,
        - basic java tracing.
