An early 2018 release, containing several exciting new enhancements. First, we
now have the kitgen code generation tool, for bootstrapping new services,
thanks to the tireless efforts of @nyarly. Second, we have the long-awaited
JSONRPC transport, due to the tireless efforts of @rossmcf, @blainsmith, and
several others. Thanks also to @senseyeio. Also, we have support for etcdv3 in
package sd, and a new prototype cloudwatch package for metrics.
