[Pulp-list] Pulp 2.11.0 Release Candidate 2 Now Available

[Patrick Creech]

Pulp 2.11.0 Release Candidate 2 is now available, and can be downloaded from
the 2.11 beta repositories:

https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/beta/2.11/

The new feature for pulp-manage-db has failed upgrade testing and has been removed from this
release.  This feature is outlined in the links below:
https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2186
https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2469

New features for Pulp 2.11 include more improvements to RPM syncing, the ability to pull older
trees with OSTree, incremental publish with Docker and RPM, and the ability to upload DRPMS.
Several bugs were also fixed; all the details can be found later in this announcement.

More information about these new features can be found in the release notes:
