Some highlights from this release:

* Release branching improvements
To make the release process as quick and reliable as possible, the branching process has been defined more clearly and it is now largely automated.
* Inter-domain communications
The inter-domain communications design now has some provisions for sharing large amount of static data as bulk transfers, such as firmware updates or map data for offline navigation.
