containerd 1.0.0-alpha4

With this weeks release, we are starting to become more stable. Many
fixes related to rounding out core features and usability. We have our
first documentation available, oriented towards getting started with
containerd.

This is the first release where we have no backwards incompatible
changes to the GRPC API. There are some changes to the metadata storage
layout, so please check upgrading for details.

Please download the binaries provided and let the bears get at 'em.
Please report issues through
https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues. Your feedback is
extremely important at this stage, so please don't be bashful about
letting us know what you think.

Upgrading

With respect to the GRPC API, there have only been additions to add
labels to snapshot. All existing integrations should continue working
with this release without changes.

The storage format has had some changes to store labels and runc state
has been relocated. Removing the contents of `/var/lib/containerd` is
recommend before running this new version. This will cause loss of
containers and image data. Let us know if this is a problem.

Documentation

We now have guides for [Getting
Started](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md),
[Operations](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/master/docs/ops.md)
and [Namespacing and
Multi-tenancy](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/master/docs/namespaces.md).
Please take some time to read them and get to know containerd.

The [godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/containerd/containerd) has also
been updated with new descriptions.

Snapshot Labels

Snapshots can now be decorated with labels on `Prepare`, `Commit` and
`Update`. This is useful to associated snapshots with various components
in containerd.

Snapshot Command

The arguments naming and order now correctly match the `Snapshotter`
interface. Ordering of arguments may be affected. Make sure to use the
help before using these commands if you are unsure.

State Directory

The runtime state directory has been brought back. Previously, this
stored ephemeral container data associated with running containers. It
was removed because checkpoint data was much too large for `tmpfs` used
for the the `/run` directory. The checkpoint data is now in the main
containerd directory, while the ephemeral data resides in
`/run/containerd`. Access performance for `runc` should increase and old
runtime data should be cleaned up on reboot with this change.

API stability

Tooling for GRPC API stability has been added. When protobufs are
built, the descriptors for the entire symbol set that make up the API
are aggregated into a single file. Changes that affect the API will show
in these files, making it much easier to identify differences that
aren't apparent in proto files. At each minor release, these files will
be snapshotted.

Go API Additions

While there are several changes to the Go API, a few highlights include
an option to kill the process process on delete, `WithProcessKill` and
the ability to set the cgroup path and hostname options on the the runc
specification.

Solaris Build Support

The project now builds on solaris.

containerd 1.0.0-alpha3

Another released alpha brings us closer to a stable release! This
release contains more changes to the event system, cleanup of the
process execution model and several bug fixes.

Please download the binaries provided and light them on fire. Please
report issues through https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues.
Your feedback is extremely important at this stage, so please don't be
bashful about letting us know what you think.

Upgrading

With changes to the `Tasks` service and the `Events` service, it is
recommend to full upgrade containerd and any constituent shim processes.
Running with previous versions may effect task startup and event
distribution from the shim.

These changes were done to ensure API consistency.

No changes to the `ctr` tool or storage formats should affect
compatibility.

If there are  changes that affecting compatibility that weren't listed
here, please file an issue.

Process Exec

More work has been undertaken to merge the behavior of container tasks
and exec processes. The `Task` object no longer exists. The user now
interacts with only processes. The main container processes is started
through `Start` method, while processes can be added to the container
with `Exec`.

Event Filters

Events now support full filtering. Filters act on events at publish
time, per subscriber, allowing a subscriber to receive only relevant
events. The same filtering syntax and behavior used on other APIs has
been added here except that we autogenerate the available fields using
protobuf definitions.

The following example will match all events having to do with tasks in
the `bb` namespace:

```console
$ ctr events 'topic~=/tasks/.+,namespace==bb'
```

Event specific data can even be selected upon. The following example
will match *any* event that has a `container_id` field with the value
`mycontainer`.

```console
$ ctr events 'event.container_id==mycontainer'
```

The above will actually decode event data, if known to containerd, and
match regardless of the particular type, allowing this to act on
unrelated event types without changing syntax.

Events API

The `Publish` method no longer takes an `Envelope` message as an
argument and a new `Forward` method has been added. While this change
seems superficial, it actually has the effect of avoiding a
serialization round trip when forwarding events from other backends,
such as container shims.

This change is not backwards compatible with previous alpha releases.

Unmanaged Root Filesystem

Container's can now be run without snapshots using the `ctr` tool. If
the `--rootfs` flag is provided, the positional argument for image will
now be interpreted as a filesystem path. The following is an example:

```console
ctr run --rootfs --tty /my/root/fs mycontainer
```

Shim CGroup

Container shims may not be started in a specific cgroup with a parameter
passed at task creation time.

containerd 1.0.0-alpha2

With another week comes another alpha release. With this release, we have
focused on increasing overall quality and consistency across the code base.
Several new tests have been added, along with attention to refactoring in
various subsystems to match current needs.

Unfortunately, we had to break some interfaces to achieve these goals. See the
section on Upgrading for details.

Again, please download the binaries provided and kick the tires. Please report
issues through the https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues. Your
feedback is extremely important at this stage, so please don't be bashful about
letting us know what you think.

Upgrading

Some backwards incompatible changes have been made to the GRPC API and the
snapshotter storage format. See the sections on Events and Snapshotters for more details.

To upgrade, you'll need to clear out the containerd root, which defaults to
`/var/lib/containerd/`. All containers, images and metadata will be lost, if
you do this. If this is a problem, please reach out and we can work out a
migration script. If such a change was done from a production release, a
migration script would have been provided.

Also, make sure to update your clients to the latest version that picks up the
new definition for the events service. This change would not be accepted in a
full released version.

Events

After dealing with a few deadlock issues, the events subsystem has been
completely refactored to match the existing use cases. Specifically, a lot of
cruft around the original design, based on Go's context package has been
removed. The use of go-events has been cleaned up to ensure correct
subscription and distribution of events, in addition to ensuring correct
teardown.

The nomenclature has also been updated to better reflect familiar "publish" and
"subscribe" models. If you closely examine #1246, you'll see that the usage of
the `Publisher` interface is much simpler than the `WithTopic` approach. This
should allow us to add events to more subsystems.

The GRPC API for the Events service was updated to bring the service inline
with these changes. Post and Stream have been replaced with Publish and
Subscribe, respectively. Clients will have to be updated to use the new API
endpoints.

After these changes, adding proper filter support should be more
straightforward.

See a615a6fe for details.

Snapshotter

Previously, snapshots had an attribute `Readonly` that was only valid for
`Active` snapshots. After looking at various conditionals, snapshot behavior
and usage, we found that these snapshots were better represented as a discrete
type, known as a "view snapshot".

Unfortunately, we've add to break compatibility with the existing storage
format to correctly enumerate the snapshot types. Users will have to remove the
old storage and start from the scratch.

See 863784f9 for details.

Tar

Tars with duplicated symlinks in disparate layers are now handled correctly.

See afec478b for details.

- Windows support
- snapshot command now supports "commit"
- More testing

Windows Support

Progress on supporting windows has received a major boost. Windows integration
has been refactored to more closely follow existing changes throughout
containerd.

Commands

A new command has been added to `ctr snapshot` to allow committing of active
snapshots. The help output has been reordered to be alphabetical.

containerd 1.0.0-alpha1

We have followed up the initial alpha with this second release. There are a
large number of changes to focus on API stability, error handling and several
bug fixes.

Again, please download the binaries provided and kick the tires. Please report
issues through the https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues. Your
feedback is extremely important at this stage, so please don't be bashful about
letting us know what you think.

Commands Merged

The most visible changes to users will be that the `dist` command has now been
merged into `ctr`. We've found this to be much easier for demonstration,
testing and deployment. For the most part, this change has moved the
subcommands untouched under `ctr`.

In addition to the command merge, all commands that mutate labels were changed
from `set-labels` to the shorter `label`.

The `snapshot` command has a few additions to display details in a tree format,
as well as some tweaks to expose mounts. See 659e3d78 and 4dc02c09 for details.

Since we are discussing command syntax, it is a good time to remind
users that cli behavior will not be covered by the 1.0 version
guarantees. We will only guarantee behavior of GRPC APIs, although we'll
try to keep changes like this minimized.

Event Topics

The topics for task events have been tweaked to be more consistent. This could
effect users that were matching on event topic. Please see a578730a for
details.

containerd 1.0.0-alpha0

We are pushing the first containerd alpha release today.  It includes a fully
functional execution, content, snapshotting filesystems, and distribution
layer.

With the alpha release we wanted to make sure the GRPC API was in a good shape
for people to start or finish the integrations for the 1.0 branch.  Ideally,
there will not be any major API changes after this release.

We encourage users integrating containerd into their software and platforms to
use our Go client, `import "github.com/containerd/containerd"`.  We have not
finalized this Go API at the time of the alpha release so that users can
provide feedback and modifications can be made to the client to reduce code
that containerd consumers have to write.

During the alpha period, we will be working on integrating containerd into
various projects and working out any rough edges or bugs.  We will also be
tagging a weekly alpha release going forward with fixes and updates during this
phase.
