[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] LTTng-Tools 2.3.0-rc3

[dgoulet@efficios.com (David Goulet)]

Greetings everyone (including LTTng elves),

The lttng-tools project provides a session daemon (lttng-sessiond) that
acts as a tracing registry, the "lttng" command line for tracing
control, a lttng-ctl library for tracing control and a lttng-relayd for
network streaming.

This is most probably the last release candidate before the 2.3.0 stable
version. (Watch out, lots of fixes! ;)
