[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] LTTng Tools 2.3.0-rc1

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

The lttng-tools project provides a session daemon (lttng-sessiond)
that acts as a tracing registry, the "lttng" command line for tracing
control, a lttng-ctl library for tracing control and a lttng-relayd
for network streaming.

Since David Goulet is currently on vacation, I'm acting as backup
maintainer for lttng-tools.

Noteworthy feature in LTTng Tools 2.3.x: flight recorder and snapshot
support !

See lttng(1) for details on the "lttng snapshot" set of commands.

LTTng Tools 2.3.x needs to be updated in locked-step with LTTng-UST and
LTTng modules.
