v2019.3

This is the first release that officially drops support for el7 platforms. We're
focusing now on el8 and Fedora platforms. This will allow us to drop a lot of
legacy code and reduce friction as we implement new features. As such, the last
supported version on el7 is v2019.2. We may backport patches to that release if
anyone encounters issues.

Note if you're a user of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host (or derivatives
such as CentOS Atomic Host) - don't worry, if any important issues arise
(particularly any security-related ones) we will fix them. That said the
development focus is on Fedora CoreOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS.
PR: #1785

There were a few other significant backend changes in this release. Notably,
our libdnf submodule has been updated to point to the latest version available.
In other words, we are now using the same version of the backend library that
dnf itself uses. This should fix a few bugs and also unblock further work such
as adding support for modules.
PR: #1404

And finally, though late in the cycle, we've bumped our CI testing to Fedora 29.
Fortunately, there were no nasty surprises there, though you can expect that we
will be more timely in the future for Fedora 30.
PR: #1787

Client

Alex Larsson added support for layering some packages that own files in /opt.
Notably, layering Google Chrome should now work. Packages that need to write
data at runtime in /opt may still not work.
PR: #1795

We now have bash completions for the rpm-ostree CLI! Thanks to our new
contributor Chris Weeks!
PR: #1499

The rpm-ostree client will now close the client side monitoring connection for
completed transactions after 30s. This should mitigate issues with clients such
as GNOME Software holding on to the transaction, and thus blocking any other
transaction from starting.
PR: #1755

A new remove alias has been added for the uninstall command for better CLI
compatibility with dnf.
PR: #1783

The status command will now always show a diff of the booted to the pending
deployment. Previously this was only the case after upgrade commands. This is
prep for further UX enhancements around package diffs.
PR: #1760

Kalev Lember added a new D-Bus API for enabling and disabling yum repositories
from GNOME Software.
PR: #1780

The kargs command now correctly supports KEYWORD-style kernel arguments
which do not have an associated value.
PR: #1796

Server

compose tree gained a new option --download-only-rpms which can be used to
conveniently mirror the RPMs for a given treefile.
PR: #1798

There is a new boot-location: modules key which you can use to have the kernel
end up in just one location. To be used by Fedora CoreOS.
PR: #1773

Every key in a treefile now supports - for consistency, where _ was used.
This should make YAML treefiles more pleasing to write.
PR: #1749

The treefile now accepts a new basearch member. This can be used to assert
that the treefile is being composed on the right base architecture. But it can
also be useful as an easy way to determine the basearch of a host by reading
/usr/share/rpm-ostree/treefile.json.
