New Checkbox release available in our Stable PPA! (2016-06-20)

[Pierre Equoy]

Hello folks!

A new version of the Checkbox stack is available in our Stable PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~hardware-certification/+archive/ubuntu/public
<https://launchpad.net/%7Ehardware-certification/+archive/ubuntu/public>

It includes the following components:
- checkbox-converged 1.3
- checkbox-ng 0.26
- plainbox-provider-resource-generic 0.26
- checkbox-support 0.26
- plainbox-provider-checkbox 0.28
- plainbox 0.28
- plainbox-provider-sru 1.3
- plainbox-provider-certification 0.27Firmware Test Suite 16.05

New features

Amongst the bugfixes described below, a few new features:

- TPM2 tests are available for 16.04
- Checkbox launchers are now compatible with Checkbox-converged. You can write
a launcher <http://checkbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/launcher-tutorial.html>
that will start Checkbox-converged in the same way you did with
Checkbox-cli. To do so, use the following in your launcher:

[ui]
type=converged

The launcher can then be coupled to a .desktop file to be easily accessible
from the Ubuntu Dash.
