  @=> Includes Aegir Hostmaster 3.x-head with improvements
  @=> Includes Aegir Provision 3.x-head with improvements
  @=> Includes Drush 8 customized for BOA

# Release Notes:

  This BOA release includes complete Aegir 3 with Drush 8, and introduces
  full support for latest Drupal 8.0.5 and Drupal 8.1.0-beta2 as custom
  platforms you can create in the ~/static directory tree.

  @=> BOA will not include built-in Drupal 8 platforms until Drupal 8 will
      support symlinks in the codebase, like all previous core versions.

  @=> All supported Aegir platforms have been updated to their latest releases

  @=> Octopus Aegir instances hosted on Power Engine option will *not* receive
      upgrade to BOA-3.x unless requested via https://omega8.cc/support
      to prevent issues with (often) customized Hostmaster modules not ready
      for Drupal 7 based Aegir control panel. All hosted BOA systems will still
      continue to receive the Barracuda system upgrades.

  @=> It is possible to host previous stable BOA-2.4.9 Octopus instances
      on systems with Barracuda upgraded to BOA-3.0.0

# Known problems:

  https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/milestones/3.0.1

  While clean 3.0.0 install worked in our tests before the release, it doesn't
  work for others. Until this problem is fixed properly without regressions,
  we are switching boa installer back to 2.4.9, which makes getting 3.0.0
  on initial installation a two step operation: first 'boa in-stable' install
  to get 2.4.9, and then 'barracuda up-stable' plus 'octopus up-stable' upgrade
  to get 3.0.0, because upgrades for barracuda and octopus from 2.4.9 to 3.0.0
  work fine.

  This also means that 'boa in-octopus' will still install the legacy 2.4.9
  octopus extra instances, and you can upgrade them to 3.0.0 with standard
  'octopus up-stable' mode.

  It is still possible to test/debug boa 3.0.0 clean installs -- just create
  an empty /root/.debug-boa-installer.cnf file before running the installer.
