[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] LTTng Tools 2.3.0-rc2

[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.

For this rc2 version, you will be pleased to find a complete cleanup of
the lttng(1) manpage layout. We have also fixed a couple of races that
were affecting the behavior of the data_pending check, used to make sure
traces are written to disk before the stop operation returns.

We have also added an example coredump handler that shows how to hook
flight recorder snapshots on application core dumps. See:
