  Public Go API Changes:

    - Replace config/validate api with github.com/coreos/vcontext
    - Validate() functions in config/* now follow the vcontext validation
      interface

26-Apr-2019 Ignition 2.0.0-beta

    - Allow specifying HTTP(S) proxies in spec 3.1.0-experimental
    - Validate hard links do not link to directories
    - Validate paths do not include links specified in the config

    - Remove `pxe` platform as it is not a platform
    - Fail if files, links, and directories conflict after symlink resolution
    - Do not fail when writing directories or links if overwrite is false and a

25-Mar-2019 Ignition 2.0.0-alpha

  NOTE: This is an alpha release. While the spec is marked as stable (i.e no
    "-experimental" suffix) we still reserve the right to change it until the
    stable 2.0.0 release. However, we do not anticipate any backwards
    incompatible changes aside from removing deprecated fields.

  NOTE: In order to allow types from both the 2.x.y and 3.0.0 specs to be
    vendored and imported in the same project, we are skipping version 1.0.0.
    Go mod (and some other tools) treat v0.x and v1.x as the same when
    importing packages with semantic import versioning.

  Features:

    - Ignition now understands config specification 3.0.0
    - Configs are now merged instead of appended

  Changes:

    - Configs with version < 3.0.0 are now rejected
