Hi all,

Today we are releasing the first release candidate of Babeltrace 1.5.

The Babeltrace project provides trace read and write libraries, as well
as a trace converter. Plugins can be created for any trace format to
allow its conversion to/from another trace format.

The main format expected to be converted to/from is the Common Trace
Format (CTF). The default input format of the "babeltrace" command is
CTF, and its default output format is a human-readable text log. The
"babeltrace-log" command converts from a text log to a CTF trace.

This release adds two features to the CTF Writer library:
    * Allow the definition of custom stream packet headers
    * Validation utility to check for reserved CTF identifiers
