Next Release of Checkbox (2017-03-10 Release Candidate) available in Testing PPA

[Pierre Equoy]

Hello all!

The next release of Checkbox is available in the testing PPA:
https://code.launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev/+archive/testing
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Echeckbox-dev/+archive/testing>

Please help testing this version. If everything is OK, we plan to push this
version to stable at the end of this week (Friday March 10th).


*New feature*
When using checkbox-cli, the re-run screen now shows jobs categorized by
their outcome. You can now easily navigate jobs that have been skipped,
that have failed or that have crashed. You can see a screenshot of this in
action here:
