We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix 1.3.0!

This release corresponds to 8,300 commits over almost 6 months by 212
people.  Support for the POWER9 platform is now offered as technological
preview.  This release adds new features, refines the user experience
and improves performance.  It also includes many new packages and
services along bug fixes--see below for a list of changes.

• About

  GNU Guix is a transactional package manager and an advanced
  distribution of the GNU system that respects user freedom.  Guix can
  be used on top of any system running the Hurd or the Linux kernel, or
  it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686,
  x86_64, ARMv7, AArch64 and POWER9 machines.

  In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
  transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
  management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  When used as a
  standalone GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative,
  stateless approach to operating system configuration management.  Guix
  is highly customizable and hackable through Guile programming
  interfaces and extensions to the Scheme language.

  [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
  .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
  and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

    gpg --verify guix-1.3.0.tar.gz.sig

  If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
  then run this command to import it:

    gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 27D586A4F8900854329FF09F1260E46482E63562

  and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
