Cosmic Cuttlefish is now open for development

[Matthias Klose]

Cosmic CANIMAL [1] is now open for development, with the syncs from unstable
done and built.  The development version starts with only a few changes:

 - The final GCC 8.1.0 release (not yet used as the default)

 - Only one transition almost done (ncurses)

Please be aware about the planned compiler changes (GCC update from 7 to 8)
around June/July, an update to OpenJDK 11, and an update from Python 3.6 to 3.7.

Please check your uploads in a cosmic chroot, don't just test in a bionic or
artful environment.  See [2] or [3] how to setup such a development chroot.
