Hello,

Yesterday I tagged and uploaded a release of cloud-init 0.7.7 "been to long".
Source tarball is available at
 https://launchpad.net/cloud-init/trunk/0.7.7

The release marks the first release of cloud-init in over a year, and as such
there are many changes and improvements.  There were 38 contributors to the
release.

Additionally, we would like to announce that cloud-init has moved its revision
control from bzr to git.  The upstream master branch can be viewed via
launchpad's web interface at
  https://code.launchpad.net/cloud-init
And cloned with:
  git clone https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init

The full change log is below.  Thank you to all contributors.
