BuildStream 1.95.0 beta released

[Tristan Van Berkom <tr...@codethink.co.uk>]

Hi all,

This is the first beta release of BuildStream leading up to the 2.0
stable release.

From this point on, the BuildStream API is to be considered stable: we
will no longer be introducing any API breaking changes.

Users are now encouraged to try using BuildStream 2 in order to help us
find issues and better assess what needs to be fixed in advance of an
official 2.0 release.

Porting your project to use BuildStream 2 is not very difficult, and is
mostly covered in the porting guide:

   https://docs.buildstream.build/master/main_porting.html

And we will be happy to answer porting related questions on our IRC or
Slack channels.


What is BuildStream ?
=====================
BuildStream is a Free Software tool for building/integrating software
stacks. It takes inspiration, lessons and use-cases from various
projects including OBS, Reproducible Builds, Yocto, Baserock,
Buildroot, Aboriginal, GNOME Continuous, JHBuild, Flatpak Builder and
Android repo.

BuildStream supports multiple build-systems (e.g. autotools, cmake,
distutils, make, meson), and can create outputs in a range of formats
(e.g. debian packages, flatpak runtimes, sysroots, system images) for
multiple platforms and chipsets.
