[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] Babeltrace 1.3.0

[Jérémie Galarneau]

Hi all,

Today we are releasing Babeltrace 1.3.0, based off the stable-1.2
branch. As some of you may know, we are still working on
Babeltrace 2.0, which introduces a number of new APIs.

This 1.3.0 release is functionally identical to the 1.2.x series, but
adds support for Solaris.

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.
