Hey folks,

it is our great pleasure to announce that newly released packages have just been deployed on COPR machines, that is:

copr-frontend 1.105-1
copr-backend 1.96-1
copr-dist-git 0.24-1

These packages are f25 compatible (including copr-keygen) and offer some new features:

copr-frontend:
- always show "Regenerate" button for recreating backend repodata
- display and improve info on modularity support in module details
- handle GitHub tag event webhooks
- option to login with krb5 now available

copr-backend:
- switched usage of deprecated ansible 1.x Runner for python-paramiko module to be compatible with ansible 2
- support for STOMP (Simple Text Oriented Message Protocol) for sending build info messages as an alternative to fedmsg

copr-dist-git:
- docker image upgraded to f25

You can find the complete list in the package changelogs, if required.

To make a long story short, apart from upgrades to run on F25, there is also momentum to make COPR more general-purpose build system that can be installed and used on other distributions too. Modularity support is still a work in progress, although we are making some interesting progress. We are also continuously aiming to improve user experience.
