Stratis 0.1 is now available.

This is the initial alpha release. It is feature-complete for basic expected functionality, including creating pools from blockdevs, creating filesystems from a pool, renaming, listing, deletion, and recreating running state from on-disk metadata. It has not yet been tested extensively.

* It it recommended to use a scratch system or VM for running Stratis, with no valuable data. * The use of other tools that use device-mapper, such as LVM, on a test system is best avoided. * The use of small blockdevs (total size under 5 GiB) to create a pool is best avoided, since Stratis doesn't yet gracefully handle running out of space. * Once stratisd is run and then exited (e.g. with a ctrl-C), a reboot is required before it can successfully run again.

The easiest way to try Stratis is to install Fedora 25 or 26 (x86_64) and add our COPR test repo:

`dnf copr enable grover/stratis` `dnf install stratis stratisd`

Then, run 'stratisd' as root in one terminal, and interact with it using the 'stratis' command-line tool in another root terminal. See "man stratis' for more info.
