Highlights:
* New hardware support:
- Zynq SoC core devices, enabling kernels to run on 1 GHz CPU core with
a floating-point unit for faster computations. This currently requires an external
repository (https://git.m-labs.hk/m-labs/artiq-zynq) and only supports the ZC706.
- Mirny 4-channel wide-band PLL/VCO-based microwave frequency synthesiser
- Fastino 32-channel, 3MS/s per channel, 16-bit DAC EEM
- Kasli 2.0
* Matrix math support on the core device.
* Trigonometric functions and miscellaneous math library support on the core device.
* Performance improvements:
- #1432: SERDES TTL inputs can now detect edges on pulses that are shorter
than the RTIO period
- Improved performance for kernel RPC involving list and array.
* Coredevice SI to mu conversions now always return valid codes, or raise a `ValueError`.
* Zotino now exposes `voltage_to_mu()`
* `ad9910`: The maximum amplitude scale factor is now `0x3fff` (was `0x3ffe`
* Coredevice SI to mu conversions now always return valid codes, or raise a ``ValueError``.
* Zotino now exposes ``voltage_to_mu()``
* ``ad9910``: The maximum amplitude scale factor is now ``0x3fff`` (was ``0x3ffe``
before).
* Dashboard:
- Applets now restart if they are running and a ccb call changes their spec

* Core device: ``panic_reset 1`` now correctly resets the kernel CPU as well if
communication CPU panic occurs.
* NumberValue accepts a ``type`` parameter specifying the output as ``int`` or ``float``
* A parameter `--identifier-str` has been added to many targets to aid
* A parameter ``--identifier-str`` has been added to many targets to aid
with reproducible builds.
* Python 3.7 support in Conda packages.
Breaking changes:
* ``artiq_netboot`` has been moved to its own repository at
https://git.m-labs.hk/m-labs/artiq-netboot
* Core device watchdogs have been removed.
