[ANNOUNCE] S3QL 3.0 has been released

[Nikolaus Rath]

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce a new release of S3QL, version 3.0. This
version introduces some backwards incompatible changes in the interface,
thus the major version bump.

From the changelog:

2019-02-09, S3QL 3.0

* Added a new `--systemd` option to simplify running mount.s3ql
as a systemd unit.

* Dropped the `--upstart` option - upstart seems to be unused and
unmaintained.

* Dropped support for legacy ("API key") authentication for Google
Storage. Only oauth2 is supported now. This was necessitated by
the switch to Google's native API (before S3QL was using Google's
S3 compatibility layer).

* Command line options specified in the authinfo file (in particular
--backend-options) are now parsed correctly.

* S3QL now uses python-cryptography instead of the (no longer
maintained) pycrypto module.

* The Google Storage backend now supports Application Default
Credentials (ADC). To use this, install the google.auth module
and use ``adc`` as your backend login.

* `umount.s3ql` now works correctly on systems where `ps` doesn't
accept a `-p` option (as long as /proc is available).


The release is available for download from
https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql/releases.

Please report any bugs on the mailing list (s3...@googlegroups.com) or
the issue tracker (https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql/issues).

Best,
-Nikolaus
