[Avocado-devel] Avocado release 36.1 (lts)

[Cleber Rosa]

This is an announcement for the users of our Long Term Stability version
of Avocado.  This is a minor release that introduces bug fixes that are
considered important to our users.

For a full list of changes, please refer to:

 https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/compare/36.0lts...36.1

LTS in a nutshell
=================

The LTS releases have a special cycle that lasts for
18 months.  Avocado usage in production environments should favor the
use of this LTS release, instead of non-LTS releases.

For more information, please refer to:

Install Avocado
===============

Instructions are available in our documentation on how to install
either with packages or from source:

 http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/36lts/GetStartedGuide.html#installing-avocado

Updated RPM packages are be available in the project repos for EPEL 6,
EPEL 7, Fedora 22, Fedora 23 and the newly released Fedora 24.

Users subscribed to the LTS "channel", will get this 36.1 update, while
users using the non-LTS repo, will probably be running 39.0 (also
released Today) after an update.

Version notice (dropping the "lts" suffix)
==========================================

We have noticed that some tools, including Python and pip, have troubles
with the version numbers we have been using for the LTS releases.
Because of that, we have then decided to drop the "lts" suffix from
version numbers.

Still, all releases with the 36.x major number, including this 36.1
release, will be LTS releases.  When a new major LTS release is
announced, it will follow the same pattern (without the "lts" suffix).

Happy hacking and testing!
