Highlights:
* Performance improvements:
- Faster RTIO event submission (1.5x improvement in pulse rate test)
See: https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/issues/636
- Faster compilation times (3 seconds saved on kernel compilation time on a typical
medium-size experiment)

* Improved packaging and build system:
- new continuous integration/delivery infrastructure based on Nix and Hydra,
providing reproducibility, speed and independence.
- rolling release process (https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/issues/1326).
- firmware, gateware and device database templates are automatically built for all
supported Kasli variants.
- new JSON description format for generic Kasli systems.
- Nix packages are now supported.
- many Conda problems worked around.
- controllers are now out-of-tree.
- split packages that enable lightweight applications that communicate with ARTIQ,
e.g. controllers running on non-x86 single-board computers.

* Improved Urukul support:
- AD9910 RAM mode.
- Configurable refclk divider and PLL bypass.
- More reliable phase synchronization at high sample rates.
- Synchronization calibration data can be read from EEPROM.

* A gateware-level input edge counter has been added, which offers higher
throughput and increased flexibility over the usual TTL input PHYs where
edge timestamps are not required. See :mod:`artiq.coredevice.edge_counter` for
the core device driver and :mod:`artiq.gateware.rtio.phy.edge_counter`/
:meth:`artiq.gateware.eem.DIO.add_std` for the gateware components.

* With DRTIO, Siphaser uses a better calibration mechanism.
See: https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/commit/cc58318500ecfa537abf24127f2c22e8fe66e0f8
* Schedule updates can be sent to influxdb (artiq_influxdb_schedule).
* Experiments can now programatically set their default pipeline, priority, and flush flag.
* List datasets can now be efficiently appended to from experiments using
:meth:`artiq.language.environment.HasEnvironment.append_to_dataset`.
`artiq.language.environment.HasEnvironment.append_to_dataset`.
* The core device now supports IPv6.
* To make development easier, the bootloader can receive firmware and secondary FPGA
gateware from the network.
